Examples

Check the user exists

if (user_exists(['email'=>'admin@mail.com']) {
    // Exists
}

Get the data from the cache

//Gets the data from the file *core/cache/my_data/key.cache.php*. 
$value = cache('key', 'my_data');
// Or 
$value = cache()->get('key', 'my_data');

Send email

email('pussycat@mail.ru', 'Subject','Email content');
// To the user
email_user('admin', $subject, $content); 
// or use the user id
email_user(5, $subject, chunk($tplEmail));
// or like that
email()->to('some.email@gmail.com')->cc('copymail@mail.com')->subject('Hello')->content('Content')->attach('path/to/file.jpg')->send();
// or send to queue
email()->to('some.email@gmail.com')->cc('copymail@mail.com')->subject('Hello')->content('Content')->attach('path/to/file.jpg')->save();
// and then send from the queue
email()->saved();

Run a snippet and save the result to the cache

$output = snippet('mySnippet', $params, 60); // store the snippet result for 60 seconds

Run a snippet from file

$output = snippet(MODX_CORE_PATH . 'elements/snippets/mysnippet.php', $params);

Get a chunk from file

$output = chunk(MODX_CORE_PATH . 'elements/chunks/mychunk.html', $placeholders);

Redirect

redirect($url);
//To the resource with the id = 5
redirect(5);

The latest resource

$resourceObject = resource()->last(); // Resource object
$resourceArray = resource()->last()->toArray(); // Resource data as array

The last 10 resources

$resObjects = resources()->last(10); 

Array of the resource pagetitles of the parent with the id = 20.

$titles = resources()->where(['parent'=>20])->get('pagetitle'); // array('pagetitle 1', 'pagetitle 2', 'pagetitle 3')

Use a Closure for child resources of the category with the id = 20.

return resources()->where(['id:IN'=>children(20)])->each(function($resource, $idx) {return "<div>{$idx}. " . $resource['pagetitle'] . "</div>";}); 

Set a value to the session

session(['key1.key2', 'value']); // => $_SESSION['key1']['key2'] = $value;
# Disable the dot notation parsing
session(['key1.key2' => 'value'], true); // ==> $_SESSION['key1.key2'] = $value;

Get the value from session

$value = session('key1.key2');  // $value = $_SESSION['key1']['key2']
# Disable the dot notation parsing
$value = session('key1.key2', 'default', true); // ==> $value = isset($_SESSION['key1.key2']) ? $_SESSION['key1.key2'] : 'default';

Validates the email

if (is_email($_POST['email'])) {
   // Valid
}

Remove child resources of the resource with the id = 10

resources()->where(['parent'=>10])->remove();

Count blocked users

$count = users()->profile()->where(['Profile.blocked'=>1])->count();

Load script with the async attribute

script('/path/to/script.js', 'async'); // <script async type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/script.js"></script>

Get an array of users

// Use the prepared query
$userArray = query('select * from ' . table_name('modUser'). ' WHERE id = ?')->execute( (int) $_POST['user_id']);

Log error to the error log

log_error($array); // The array will be converted to string using the print_r() function.
log_error($message, 'HTML'); // Show message on the page.

Get the list of the pagetitles

return resources()->where(['id:IN'=>children(5)])->each(function($resource, $idx){ return "<li>{$idx}. ".$resource['pagetitle']."</li>";});

Get users which are members of the "Manager" group

$usersArray = users()->members('Managers')->toArray();
// Get all users from "ContentManagers" and "SaleManagers" groups 
$users = users()->members('%Managers')->get();
foreach($users as $user) {
  echo $user->username;
}

Add the first ten users to the "Manager" group

users()->whereIn('id',range(1,10))->joinGroup('Manager');

Make a list of faked news (using a snippet)

return collection(10)->each(function($item, $idx, $modx){return "<div>" . faker()->date() . img(faker()->imageUrl(500,300),['class'=>'img-news']) . '<br>' . faker()->text(700) . '</div>';});
