IMultiGet

IMultiGet.

This interface adds a tiny bit of functionality to collections.

There a certain situations, in particular in relation to WebDAV-Sync, CalDAV and CardDAV, where information for a list of items will be requested.

Because the getChild() call is the main abstraction method, this can in reality result in many database calls, which could potentially be optimized.

The MultiGet interface is used by the server in these cases.

Methods

getMultipleChildren

This method receives a list of paths in it's first argument.

public getMultipleChildren(string[] $paths): array

It must return an array with Node objects.

If any children are not found, you do not have to return them.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$paths string[]

Inherited methods

delete

Deleted the current node.

public delete(): mixed

getName

Returns the name of the node.

public getName(): string

This is used to generate the url.

setName

Renames the node.

public setName(string $name): mixed

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string The new name

getLastModified

Returns the last modification time, as a unix timestamp. Return null if the information is not available.

public getLastModified(): int|null

createFile

Creates a new file in the directory.

public createFile(string $name, resource|string $data = null): string|null

Data will either be supplied as a stream resource, or in certain cases as a string. Keep in mind that you may have to support either.

After successful creation of the file, you may choose to return the ETag of the new file here.

The returned ETag must be surrounded by double-quotes (The quotes should be part of the actual string).

If you cannot accurately determine the ETag, you should not return it. If you don't store the file exactly as-is (you're transforming it somehow) you should also not return an ETag.

This means that if a subsequent GET to this new file does not exactly return the same contents of what was submitted here, you are strongly recommended to omit the ETag.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string Name of the file
$data resource|string Initial payload

createDirectory

Creates a new subdirectory.

public createDirectory(string $name): mixed

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string

getChild

Returns a specific child node, referenced by its name.

public getChild(string $name): \Sabre\DAV\INode

This method must throw Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound if the node does not exist.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string

getChildren

Returns an array with all the child nodes.

public getChildren(): \Sabre\DAV\INode[]

childExists

Checks if a child-node with the specified name exists.

public childExists(string $name): bool

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string
