ORM

Table

Extend the Shim plugin Table class to get the functionality:

namespace App\Model\Table;

use Shim\Model\Table\Table as Table;

/**
 * App\Model\Table\MyTable class
 */
class MyTable extends Table {
}

In case you are using an app Table class yourself, you can just make this one extend the Shim plugin Table class:

namespace App\Model\Table;

use Shim\Model\Table\Table as ShimTable;

/**
 * App\Model\Table\Table class
 */
class Table extends ShimTable {
}

And then all your tables can extend your own app Table class:

namespace App\Model\Table;

/**
 * App\Model\Table\MyTable class
 */
class MyTable extends Table {
}

Controller

Component

You can extend the Shim plugin Component class to have the controller available inside by default:

namespace Shim\Controller\Component;

use Shim\Controller\Component\Component;

/**
 * App\Controller\Component\MyController class
 */
class MyComponent extends Component {
}
