Attempts to persist the DTO as an add. The function executes a series of events:

1. The format event is fired
2. When an ID is provided the object is retrieved from the database otherwise a new object is created.
3. The merge event is triggered
4. The validate event is triggered. If validation errors are detected the process halts and the function calls back with an error.
5. The beforeSave event is triggered
6. The object is persisted
7. The afterSave event is triggered

Inspects the raw set of validation results to ensure that plugins that don't follow proper procedure have their results excluded.

Executes a count of resources against the persistence layer. The function will callback with an array of results.

Deletes an object by ID

Deletes a single item based on the specified query in the options

Retrieves a resource by ID. The function will callback with the object that was found or NULL if no object could be found. The function will trigger the "get" event.

Executes a query for resources against the persistence layer. The function will callback with an array of results. The function will trigger the "getAll" event. Also note that there is hard limit on the number of results the returned.

Executes a query for resources against the persistence layer. The function will callback with an object that contains a total count and an array of results. The function will trigger the "getAll" event. Also note that there is hard limit on the number of results the returned.

The sanitization rules that apply to Pages, Articles, and other fields that are allowed to have HTML

Retrieves a context object to be passed to event listeners

Parses an ISO date string. When an invalid date string is pass a NULL value is returned.

Retrieves the default sanitization rules for string fields.

Creates the where clause that creates a lookup by the key that indicates uniqueness for the collection

Determines the maximum number of results that can be returned for a query. The specified limit must be a positive integer. The result will be the minimum of the MAX_RESULTS constant and the specified limit.

Builds a paged result object

Retrieves a single resource by the specified query. The function will callback with the object that was found or NULL if no object could be found. The function will trigger the "getAll" event.

Retrieves the object type supported by the service

Returns a list of the listeners for the specified event

Registers a listener for the specified event.

Registers a listener to fire a single time for the specfied event

Extracts a boolean value from the provided value. Null or undefined values will return false. Strings of '1' or 'true' (case sensitive) will return TRUE. All other values will return false.

Removes all listeners for the specified event

Removes the listener from the specified event

Strips HTML formatting from a string value

5. The beforeSave event is triggered
6. The object is persisted
7. The afterSave event is triggered

Sets a system-wide override for the default set of sanitization rules. The function will throw if a non-object is passed. NULL can be used to reset any override that is put into place.

Sets a system-wide override for the set of sanitization rules for content. The function will throw if a non-object is passed. NULL can be used to reset any override that is put into place.
