[Answered] What does loadObject() do exactly?

[Rhobur]

Hi,

Could someone shed a light of what loadObject function do exactly?

I see that it creates an object but how and out of what?

I mean when used in a module what does 

$obj = $this->loadObject(true);

do exactly?

like https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/08fd15ea5d54fcc3993f4fc1f3dfc8962a129415/classes/controller/AdminController.php#L1599-L1625

 

or https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/9a2e47a17a196763e268f95c5b2898ca2b54feff/classes/AdminTab.php#L2187-L2205

what could be the identifier in $_GET?

[bellini13]

typically a number.  Let's say you are looking at an Order, the identifier would be the id_order, and the code would attempt to create an Order object using that identifier

Thank you both for you clarifications!

Have a great week!
