Migration from 2.x to 3.x: Shims

Session

The session component of the core is deprecated and will throw a warning as it will soon be removed. Better use the plugin one right away. It is a 1:1 clone of it.

namespace App\Controller;

use Tools\Controller\Controller;

class AppController extends Controller {

	public $components = array('Tools.Session');

}

It also contains the new consume() method.

Model

The following can be used in 3.x via shim support:

Used to be on models => now on tables

• $order property
• $validate property
• relations (hasX, belongsTo)
• $displayField
• $primaryKey
• Timestamp behavior added by default (if modified or created exists)
