IPrincipalCollection

Principal Collection interface.

Implement this interface to ensure that your principal collection can be searched using the principal-property-search REPORT.

Methods

searchPrincipals

This method is used to search for principals matching a set of properties.

public searchPrincipals(array $searchProperties, string $test = 'allof'): array

This search is specifically used by RFC3744's principal-property-search REPORT. You should at least allow searching on http://sabredav.org/ns}email-address.

The actual search should be a unicode-non-case-sensitive search. The keys in searchProperties are the WebDAV property names, while the values are the property values to search on.

By default, if multiple properties are submitted to this method, the various properties should be combined with 'AND'. If $test is set to 'anyof', it should be combined using 'OR'.

This method should simply return a list of 'child names', which may be used to call $this->getChild in the future.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$searchProperties array
$test string

findByUri

Finds a principal by its URI.

public findByUri(string $uri): string

This method may receive any type of uri, but mailto: addresses will be the most common.

Implementation of this API is optional. It is currently used by the CalDAV system to find principals based on their email addresses. If this API is not implemented, some features may not work correctly.

This method must return a relative principal path, or null, if the principal was not found or you refuse to find it.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$uri 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
