| public static find ( string | object | integer $type, array $options = [] ) : mixed | ||
| $type | string | object | integer | The name of the finder to use. By default the
following finders are available. Custom finders can be added via `Model::finder()`.
- `'all'`: Returns all records matching the conditions.
- `'first'`: Returns the first record matching the conditions.
- `'count'`: Returns an integer count of all records matching the conditions.
- `'list'`: Returns a one dimensional array, where the key is the (primary)
key and the value the title of the record (the record must have a `'title'`
field). A result may look like: `array(1 => 'Foo', 2 => 'Bar')`.
Instead of the name of a finder, also supports shorthand usage with an object or
integer as the first parameter. When passed such a value it is equal to
`Model::find('first', array('conditions' => array(' |
| $options | array | Options for the query. By default, accepts: - `'conditions'` _array_: The conditions for the query i.e. `'array('is_published' => true)`. - `'fields'` _array|null_: The fields that should be retrieved. When set to `null` and by default, uses all fields. To optimize query performance, limit the fields to just the ones actually needed. - `'order'` _array|string_: The order in which the data will be returned, i.e. `'created ASC'` sorts by created date in ascending order. To sort by multiple fields use the array syntax `array('title' => 'ASC', 'id' => 'ASC)`. - `'limit'` _integer_: The maximum number of records to return. - `'page'` _integer_: Allows to paginate data sets. Specifies the page of the set together with the limit option specifying the number of records per page. The first page starts at `1`. |
| return | mixed | The result/s of the find. Actual result depends on the finder being used. Most often this is an instance of `lithium\data\Collection` or `lithium\data\Entity`. |

* allows for data-retrieval of entities via file-based access
*
* In case you want to provide default file-data without inserting them into the database, you
* would need to create files based on model-name in a path like that
* `{:library}/data/{:class}/{:id}.neon` or `{:library}/data/{:class}/{:slug}.neon`
*
* In that case, an entity requested by id or slug would be loaded from file instead. Please pay
* attention, though that not all options are implemented, such as extended conditions, order,
* limit or page. This is meant to enable basic loading of id- or slug-based entity lookups.
*
* @see radium\util\Neon::file()
* @see radium\util\File::contents()
* @param string $type The find type, which is looked up in `Model::$_finders`. By default it
* accepts `all`, `first`, `list` and `count`,
* @param array $options Options for the query. By default, accepts:
* - `conditions`: The conditional query elements, e.g.
* `'conditions' => array('published' => true)`
* - `fields`: The fields that should be retrieved. When set to `null`, defaults to
* all fields.
* - `order`: The order in which the data will be returned, e.g. `'order' => 'ASC'`.
* - `limit`: The maximum number of records to return.
* - `page`: For pagination of data.
