Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Confusion comes from

I disagree that that the manual is fine. If Euromark is correct (and he usually is) then it is misleading. None of the examples use both. Even the section further down entitled 'Saving Entities' does not use patchEntity as well as newEntity.

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);      }

But i found a different things on below link

http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html#creating-all-user-related-code

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->
