lithium\core\AutoConfigurable::_autoConfig()

protected method

Assigns configuration values to object properties.

For example, given the following:

class Bar{
	protected $_foo;

	public function __construct(array $config = []) {
		$this->_autoConfig($config, ['foo']);
	}
}

$instance = new Bar(['foo' => 'baz']);

The foo property would automatically be set to 'baz'. If foo was an array, $auto could be set to ['foo' => 'merge'], and the config value of 'foo' would be merged with the default value of the foo property and assigned to it.

Parameters

  • array $config
  • array $auto

    An array of values that should be processed. Each value should have a matching protected property (prefixed with _) defined in the class. If the property is an array, the property name should be the key and the value should be 'merge'.

Returns

void
