handleCsvExport(array<string|int, mixed> $result, CsvExportService $csvExportService, string $entityName[, string|null $tableName = null ][, iterable<string|int, mixed>|null $data = null ]) : Response
Generates a CSV export response from the grid processing result. Supports two modes:
-
Query Mode (default): Uses the query from result to build SQL SELECT statements. Best for simple fields that map directly to database columns.
-
Data Mode: Pass pre-processed data with computed/virtual fields already populated. Best for exports that include calculated fields, virtual properties, or complex transformations that can't be done in SQL.
Column Value Resolution (in order of precedence):
exportValuecallback in column metadata - custom formatting functionrenderFieldpath (e.g., 'member.name_for_herald') - for nested entity accessqueryFieldfor relation columns in query mode- Direct column key access on entity/array
Parameters
- $result : array<string|int, mixed>
-
Result from processDataverseGrid() with isCsvExport flag
- $csvExportService : CsvExportService
-
CSV export service instance
- $entityName : string
-
Base name for the export file (e.g., 'members', 'warrants')
- $tableName : string|null = null
-
Optional table name for fetchTable (e.g., 'Awards.Recommendations' for plugin tables) If not provided, uses ucfirst($entityName)
- $data : iterable<string|int, mixed>|null = null
-
Optional pre-processed data. If provided, uses data mode instead of query mode. Data should be an iterable of entities or arrays with all computed fields populated.

isCsvExportRequest()
Check if the current request is for CSV export

loadFilterOptions()
Load filter options from a data source
protected
loadFilterOptions(array<string|int, mixed>|string $source) : array<string|int, mixed>
Supports multiple formats for filterOptionsSource:
-
Simple string (table name): Uses 'id' for value, 'name' for label
'filterOptionsSource' => 'Branches' -
Array with table: Database table with full control
'filterOptionsSource' => [ 'table' => 'Waivers.WaiverTypes', // Required: table name for fetchTable() 'valueField' => 'id', // Optional: field for option value (default: 'id') 'labelField' => 'name', // Optional: field for option label (default: 'name') 'conditions' => ['is_active' => true], // Optional: filter conditions 'order' => ['name' => 'ASC'], // Optional: sort order (default: labelField ASC) ] -
Array with appSetting: Load from app settings (YAML array)
'filterOptionsSource' => [ 'appSetting' => 'Branches.Types', // Required: app setting key ]The app setting should contain a YAML array like: ['Kingdom', 'Principality', 'Barony'] Both value and label will be set to the array item value.
-
Array with method: Call a static method on a class to get options
'filterOptionsSource' => [ 'method' => 'getGatheringsFilterOptions', // Required: static method name 'class' => 'Awards\\KMP\\GridColumns\\RecommendationsGridColumns', // Required: fully qualified class name ]The method should return array of ['value' => string, 'label' => string].
Parameters
- $source : array<string|int, mixed>|string
-
Source identifier string (table name) or configuration array
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —Filter options as array of ['value' => string, 'label' => string]
organizeViewCells()
Organize view cells by type and display order.
protected
organizeViewCells(array<string|int, mixed> $viewCells) : array<string|int, mixed>
Unused - view cells organized in ViewCellRegistry
Parameters
- $viewCells : array<string|int, mixed>
-
Flat array of view cell configurations
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —Organized array grouped by type and sorted by order
prepareRecommendationsForExport()
Prepare recommendations for CSV export with computed fields
protected
prepareRecommendationsForExport(Query $query[, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : iterable<string|int, mixed>
Fetches all data from the query (not paginated) and populates computed fields that can't be calculated via SQL (virtual properties, formatted strings, etc.)
Parameters
- $query : Query
-
The filtered query from processDataverseGrid
- $options : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
Export options (includeAttendance => bool)
Return values
iterable<string|int, mixed> —Recommendations with computed fields populated
processDataverseGrid()
Process dataverse grid request with unified logic
protected
processDataverseGrid(array<string|int, mixed> $config) : array<string|int, mixed>
This method handles all aspects of grid processing including view management, filtering, searching, sorting, and pagination. It supports both saved user views and system-defined views.
Parameters
- $config : array<string|int, mixed>
-
Grid configuration with the following keys:
- gridKey (string): Unique identifier for the grid
- gridColumnsClass (string): Fully qualified class name for grid columns metadata
- baseQuery (Query): Base query object to start with
- tableName (string): Primary table name for field qualification
- defaultSort (array): Default sort configuration ['field' => 'direction']
- defaultPageSize (int): Default number of records per page (default: 25)
- systemViews (array|null): Optional array of system views (for Warrants-style grids)
- defaultSystemView (string|null): Default system view key (required if systemViews provided)
- queryCallback (callable|null): Optional callback to modify query per system view
- showAllTab (bool): Whether to show "All" tab (default: true for saved views, false for system views)
- canAddViews (bool): Whether users can create custom views (default: true)
- canFilter (bool): Whether user filtering is enabled (default: true). When false, users cannot add/remove filters via the UI or query parameters. However, filters defined by system views are ALWAYS applied regardless of this setting.
- canExportCsv (bool): Whether CSV export button is shown (default: true)
- showFilterPills (bool): Whether active filter pills/badges are displayed (default: true)
- showViewTabs (bool): Whether view tabs are displayed (default: true)
- enableColumnPicker (bool): Whether column picker is available (default: true)
- lockedFilters (array): Array of filter column keys that cannot be removed by users. Locked filters will not show remove (×) buttons and their values cannot be cleared via query string parameters. Useful for embedded grids where context filters (e.g., member_id) must always be applied.
- enableBulkSelection (bool): Whether row selection checkboxes are shown (default: false)
- bulkActions (array): Array of bulk action button configurations when enableBulkSelection is true. Each action is an array with keys: label, icon, modalTarget, permission.
NOTE: Authorization scope must be applied to baseQuery BEFORE calling this method. Use
$baseQuery = $this->Authorization->applyScope($baseQuery, 'index');in your controller before passing the query to processDataverseGrid().
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —Result array with keys: data, gridState, columnsMetadata, etc.
