In 3.0 there was some confusion about whether DataLists and ArrayLists
were mutable or not. If DataLists were immutable, they'd return the result, and your code
would look like
$list = $list->filter(....);
If DataLists were mutable, they'd operate on themselves, returning nothing, and your code
would look like
$list->filter(....);
This makes all DataLists and ArrayList immutable for all _searching_ operations.
Operations on DataList that modify the underlying SQL data store remain mutating.
- These functions no longer mutate the existing object, and if you do not capture the value
returned by them will have no effect:
ArrayList#reverse
ArrayList#sort
ArrayList#filter
ArrayList#exclude
DataList#dataQuery (use DataList#alterDataQuery to modify dataQuery in a safe manner)
DataList#where
DataList#limit
DataList#sort
DataList#addFilter
DataList#applyFilterContext
DataList#innerJoin
DataList#leftJoin
DataList#find
DataList#byIDs
DataList#reverse
- DataList#setDataQueryParam has been added as syntactic sugar around the most common
cause of accessing the dataQuery directly - setting query parameters
- RelationList#setForeignID has been removed. Always use RelationList#forForeignID
when querying, and overload RelationList#foreignIDList when subclassing.
- Relatedly,the protected variable RelationList->foreignID has been removed, as the ID is
now stored on a query parameter. Use RelationList#getForeignID to read it.
The entire framework repo (with the exception of system-generated files) has been amended to respect the 120c line-length limit. This is in preparation for the enforcement of this rule with PHP_CodeSniffer.
