Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Confusion comes from

no cookbook tutorial/example is fine

maybe

$this->Model->newEntity(); is to create  new object with blank attribute or create blank object container

$this->Model->patchEntity($oldObjectAttr , $newObjAttr); is to update object attribute

Hi,

A confusion comes on my mind regarding the adding something on CakePHP 3.0

As example given on below link's in the add function.

http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog/part-two.html#adding-articles

public function add()      {          $article = $this->Articles->newEntity(); // A blank newEnttity added stored in $article variable          if ($this->request->is('post')) {              $article = $this->Articles->patchEntity($article, $this->request->data); // A patchEntity added here & passed the request data here              if ($this->Articles->save($article)) {                  $this->Flash->success(__('Your article has been saved.'));                  return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);              }              $this->Flash->error(__('Unable to add your article.'));          }          $this->set('article', $article);      }

public function add()      {          $user = $this->Users->newEntity($this->request->data); // request data passing through newEntity here          if ($this->request->is('post')) {              if ($this->Users->save($user)) {                  $this->Flash->success(__('The user has been saved.'));                  return $this->redirect(['action' => 'add']);              }              $this->
