Get current database name - cakephp 3

Question

I need to get current and default DB name in cakephp 3.

I know how its possible in cakephp 2 but cannot get a work around for cakephp 3. I have looked into the cakephp library in datasource/connectionManager.php but still i cant get any method to use. Can you please help me out in finding out the current connections config details? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I found my answer after looking into some of the core cakephp files. Plus ADmad's answer gave me a hint. I found two ways of doing it.

Method 1: Using Current model Object.

$this->{$modelName}->connection()->config();

will give config, and,

$this->{$modelName}->connection()->config()['database'];

will give the current Database name.

Method 2: Using Datasource Object.

$dataSourceObject = ConnectionManager::get($connectionName); // $connectionName can be 'default'

Config: $dataSourceObject->config();

Current Database name: $dataSourceObject->config()['database'];
