Available Model Methods (API)
Method Listing
addAttributeValue
Add a value into an array of attribute values:
$model->proxyaddresses = ['SMTP:sbauman@microsoft.com'];
$model->addAttributeValue('proxyaddresses', 'smtp:sbauman@local.com');
// Displays:
// [
// 'SMTP:sbauman@microsoft.com',
// 'smtp:sbauman@local.com'
// ]
var_dump($model->proxyaddresses);
addHidden
Add an attribute to hide when encoding a model using json_encode
:
$model->addHidden('userpassword');
$model->addHidden(['userpassword', 'mail']);
// 'userpassword' and 'mail' will be omitted:
$attributes = json_encode($model);
addModification
Add a batch modification to the model to be executed upon save()
:
// Using an array...
$modification = [
'attrib' => 'telephoneNumber',
'modtype' => LDAP_MODIFY_BATCH_ADD,
'values' => ['+1 555 555 1717'],
];
$model->addModification($modification);
// Using a BatchModification...
$mod = new \LdapRecord\Models\BatchModification(
$attrib = 'telephoneNumber',
$modType = LDAP_MODIFY_BATCH_ADD,
$values = ['+1 555 555 1717']
);
$model->addModification($mod);
$model->save();
addVisible
Add an attribute to include that is being hidden when encoding a model using json_encode
:
$model->addVisible('userpassword');
$model->addVisible(['userpassword', 'mail']);
ancestors
Begin querying the direct ancestors of the model:
$ancestors = $model->ancestors()->get();
asDateTime
Convert an LDAP timestamp to a Carbon\Carbon
instance:
$carbon = $model->asDateTime('ldap', '20200508184557Z');
$carbon = $model->asDateTime('windows', '20200508184533.0Z');
$carbon = $model->asDateTime('windows-int', 132334371140000000);
attributesToArray
Convert all the models attributes to their JSON encodable value:
$attributes = $model->attributesToArray();
LDAP date attributes specified via the
$dates
model property will be converted in the returned array.
convert
Convert a model into another by copying its attributes, connection and distinguished name:
This will also set
$model->exists
property totrue
if the model being converted exists.
$into = new \LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User();
// Returns instance of \LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User
$user = $model->convert($into);
countAttributes

This does not count attribute values.
$model->fill([
'cn' => 'Steve Bauman',
'sn' => 'Bauman',
]);
// Returns '2'
$model->countAttributes();
createAttribute
Immediately inserts a new attribute value on the model.
Performs an ldap_mod_add
under the hood.
This does not create attributes that do not exist on your LDAP schema for the object.
$model->createAttribute('telephonenumber', '+1 555 555 1717');
delete
Immediately delete an existing model instance:
$model->delete();
// Returns false.
$model->exists;
To delete nested objects contained in the model recursively, pass in true
:
$model->delete($recursive = true);
deleteAttribute
Immediately delete an attribute on a model.
Performs an ldap_mod_del
under the hood.
$model->deleteAttribute('telephonenumber');
$model->telephonenumber; // Returns null
descendants
Begin querying the direct descendants of the model:
$descendants = $model->descendants()->get();
escape
Prepare a value to be escaped:
// Returns \LdapRecord\Models\Attributes\EscapedValue;
$escapedValue = $model->escape($value, $ignore = '', $flags = 0);
// Cast to string for immediate return of escaped value:
$escapedValue = (string) $model->escape($value, $ignore = '', $flags = 0);
fill
Fill a model with attributes and values:
$model->fill([
'cn' => 'Steve Bauman',
'proxyAddresses' => ['foo', 'bar'],
]);
$model->save();
fresh
Get a fresh new instance of the existing model.
The model will be re-retrieved from the LDAP directory. The existing model will not be affected:
$fresh = $model->fresh();
fromDateTime
Convert a DateTime
, Carbon
or string
to the specified LDAP timestamp type:
$date = new \DateTime('now');
$ldapTimestamp = $model->fromDateTime('ldap', $date);
$windowsTimestamp = $model->fromDateTime('windows', $date);
$windowsIntTimestamp = $model->fromDateTime('windows-int', $date);

// 'sn',
// 'uid',
// 'name',
// 'mail',
// 'givenname',
// 'displayname'
// ]
var_dump($attributes);
getAttribute

This will return an array
if the attribute exists and null
if non-existent:
If a mutator exists for the attribute (such as a date, or custom attribute mutator method), it's value will be returned instead.
// Returns array:
$values = $model->getAttribute('cn');
// Returns first value:
$value = $model->getAttribute('cn')[0];
// Returns null:
$null = $model->getAttribute('non-existent');
getAttributeValue
Performs the same as above.

// Returns: 'cn=Jane Doe,dc=local,dc=com'
$user->getDn();
save

$model->setAttribute('attribute', 'value');
$model->setAttribute('attribute', ['foo', 'bar']);

$model = Model::findByAnr('sbauman');
$model->setDateFormat('Y-m-d H:i');
$attributes = json_encode($model);
setDn
Set the Distinguished Name of the model to be created with:
$model = new Model();
$model->setDn('cn=John Doe,dc=local,dc=com');
$model->save();
setFirstAttribute

$model->getAttributes();
$model->proxyaddresses = ['foo', 'bar'];
// Overwrites 'foo' with 'baz':
$model->setFirstAttribute('proxyaddresses', ['baz']);
setHidden

$model->setHidden(['cn', 'sn']);
// Attributes 'cn' and 'sn' will be removed:
$attributes = json_encode($model);

Set the models batch modifications to be processed upon save:
$mods = [
[

The existing model instance will be included in the query results.
$siblings = $model->siblings()->get();
synchronize
Refresh a models attributes by re-retrieving them from your LDAP directory.
This will affect the current model instance:
$model->synchronize();
update
Persist the changes of a model to the LDAP directory.
The save method should be used instead of
update
to persist new or existing models.
If the model does not exist in the directory, an exception will be thrown.
$model->cn = 'John Doe';
$model->update();
You may also provide an array of attributes to persist to your LDAP directory:
$model->update(['cn' => 'John Doe']);

Performs an ldap_mod_replace
under the hood.
$model->updateAttribute('proxyaddresses', ['foo', 'bar']);
