Class SearchPaneOptions

The Options class provides a convenient method of specifying where Editor should get the list of options for a select, radio or checkbox field. This is normally from a table that is left joined to the main table being edited, and a list of the values available from the joined table is shown to the end user to let them select from.

Options instances are used with the Field::options method.

Example:

Get a list of options from the sites table

Field::inst( 'users.site' )
       ->options( Options::inst()
           ->table( 'sites' )
           ->value( 'id' )
           ->label( 'name' )
       )

Example:

Get a list of options with custom ordering

Field::inst( 'users.site' )
       ->options( Options::inst()
           ->table( 'sites' )
           ->value( 'id' )
           ->label( 'name' )
           ->order( 'name DESC' )
       )

Example:

Get a list of options showing the id and name in the label

Field::inst( 'users.site' )
       ->options( Options::inst()
           ->table( 'sites' )
           ->value( 'id' )
           ->label( [ 'name', 'id' ] )
           ->render( function ( $row ) {
             return $row['name'].' ('.$row['id'].')';
           } )
       )
