Custom Annotation Classes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
If you want to define your own annotations, you just have to group them
|
|
in a namespace and register this namespace in the ``AnnotationRegistry``.
|
|
Annotation classes have to contain a class-level docblock with the text
|
|
``@Annotation``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Annotations;
|
|
|
|
/** @Annotation */
|
|
class Bar
|
|
{
|
|
// some code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Inject annotation values
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The annotation parser checks if the annotation constructor has arguments,
|
|
if so then it will pass the value array, otherwise it will try to inject
|
|
values into public properties directly:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Annotations;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
*
|
|
* Some Annotation using a constructor
|
|
*/
|
|
class Bar
|
|
{
|
|
private $foo;
|
|
|
|
public function __construct(array $values)
|
|
{
|
|
$this->foo = $values['foo'];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
*
|
|
* Some Annotation without a constructor
|
|
*/
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
public $bar;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Annotation Target
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
``@Target`` indicates the kinds of class elements to which an annotation
|
|
type is applicable. Then you could define one or more targets:
|
|
|
|
- ``CLASS`` Allowed in class docblocks
|
|
- ``PROPERTY`` Allowed in property docblocks
|
|
- ``METHOD`` Allowed in the method docblocks
|
|
- ``ALL`` Allowed in class, property and method docblocks
|
|
- ``ANNOTATION`` Allowed inside other annotations
|
|
|
|
If the annotations is not allowed in the current context, an
|
|
``AnnotationException`` is thrown.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Annotations;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target({"METHOD","PROPERTY"})
|
|
*/
|
|
class Bar
|
|
{
|
|
// some code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target("CLASS")
|
|
*/
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
// some code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Attribute types
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The annotation parser checks the given parameters using the phpdoc
|
|
annotation ``@var``, The data type could be validated using the ``@var``
|
|
annotation on the annotation properties or using the ``@Attributes`` and
|
|
``@Attribute`` annotations.
|
|
|
|
If the data type does not match you get an ``AnnotationException``
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Annotations;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target({"METHOD","PROPERTY"})
|
|
*/
|
|
class Bar
|
|
{
|
|
/** @var mixed */
|
|
public $mixed;
|
|
|
|
/** @var boolean */
|
|
public $boolean;
|
|
|
|
/** @var bool */
|
|
public $bool;
|
|
|
|
/** @var float */
|
|
public $float;
|
|
|
|
/** @var string */
|
|
public $string;
|
|
|
|
/** @var integer */
|
|
public $integer;
|
|
|
|
/** @var array */
|
|
public $array;
|
|
|
|
/** @var SomeAnnotationClass */
|
|
public $annotation;
|
|
|
|
/** @var array<integer> */
|
|
public $arrayOfIntegers;
|
|
|
|
/** @var array<SomeAnnotationClass> */
|
|
public $arrayOfAnnotations;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target({"METHOD","PROPERTY"})
|
|
* @Attributes({
|
|
* @Attribute("stringProperty", type = "string"),
|
|
* @Attribute("annotProperty", type = "SomeAnnotationClass"),
|
|
* })
|
|
*/
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
public function __construct(array $values)
|
|
{
|
|
$this->stringProperty = $values['stringProperty'];
|
|
$this->annotProperty = $values['annotProperty'];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// some code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Annotation Required
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
``@Required`` indicates that the field must be specified when the
|
|
annotation is used. If it is not used you get an ``AnnotationException``
|
|
stating that this value can not be null.
|
|
|
|
Declaring a required field:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target("ALL")
|
|
*/
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
/** @Required */
|
|
public $requiredField;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
/** @Foo(requiredField="value") */
|
|
public $direction; // Valid
|
|
|
|
/** @Foo */
|
|
public $direction; // Required field missing, throws an AnnotationException
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enumerated values
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- An annotation property marked with ``@Enum`` is a field that accepts a
|
|
fixed set of scalar values.
|
|
- You should use ``@Enum`` fields any time you need to represent fixed
|
|
values.
|
|
- The annotation parser checks the given value and throws an
|
|
``AnnotationException`` if the value does not match.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Declaring an enumerated property:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Annotation
|
|
* @Target("ALL")
|
|
*/
|
|
class Direction
|
|
{
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Enum({"NORTH", "SOUTH", "EAST", "WEST"})
|
|
*/
|
|
public $value;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Annotation usage:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
/** @Direction("NORTH") */
|
|
public $direction; // Valid value
|
|
|
|
/** @Direction("NORTHEAST") */
|
|
public $direction; // Invalid value, throws an AnnotationException
|
|
|
|
|
|
Constants
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The use of constants and class constants is available on the annotations
|
|
parser.
|
|
|
|
The following usages are allowed:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Entity;
|
|
|
|
use MyCompany\Annotations\Foo;
|
|
use MyCompany\Annotations\Bar;
|
|
use MyCompany\Entity\SomeClass;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Foo(PHP_EOL)
|
|
* @Bar(Bar::FOO)
|
|
* @Foo({SomeClass::FOO, SomeClass::BAR})
|
|
* @Bar({SomeClass::FOO_KEY = SomeClass::BAR_VALUE})
|
|
*/
|
|
class User
|
|
{
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be careful with constants and the cache !
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The cached reader will not re-evaluate each time an annotation is
|
|
loaded from cache. When a constant is changed the cache must be
|
|
cleaned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Using the library API is simple. Using the annotations described in the
|
|
previous section, you can now annotate other classes with your
|
|
annotations:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
namespace MyCompany\Entity;
|
|
|
|
use MyCompany\Annotations\Foo;
|
|
use MyCompany\Annotations\Bar;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @Foo(bar="foo")
|
|
* @Bar(foo="bar")
|
|
*/
|
|
class User
|
|
{
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Now we can write a script to get the annotations above:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
$reflClass = new ReflectionClass('MyCompany\Entity\User');
|
|
$classAnnotations = $reader->getClassAnnotations($reflClass);
|
|
|
|
foreach ($classAnnotations AS $annot) {
|
|
if ($annot instanceof \MyCompany\Annotations\Foo) {
|
|
echo $annot->bar; // prints "foo";
|
|
} else if ($annot instanceof \MyCompany\Annotations\Bar) {
|
|
echo $annot->foo; // prints "bar";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
You have a complete API for retrieving annotation class instances from a
|
|
class, property or method docblock:
