The Writer
Dumping strings
Write a 2 line text block:, (*3)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Writer;
$writer = new Writer;
$writer
->writeln('foo')
->writeln('bar');
echo $writer->dump(); //"foo\nbar"
Behavior
By defatault, the Writer will remove trailing spaces at the end of each line., (*4)
You may override this behavior by calling the allowTrailingSpace()
method., (*5)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Writer;
$writer = new Writer;
$writer->allowTrailingSpace(true); // will now preserve trailing space chars for each line.
Indentation
The default indentation level is 4 spaces., (*6)
If you require a different level using spaces, you'll have to specify this on the.
constructor:, (*7)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Writer;
$writer = new Writer(2);
$writer
->writeln('foo')
->indent()
->writeln('bar');
echo $writer->dump(); //"foo\n bar"
You may also change spaces to tabs using the useTabs() method., (*8)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Writer;
$writer = new Writer;
$writer->useTabs(true);
// …
Output indentation
Output indentation indents the whole block and is applied just before the
string is being dumped. The value passed to setOutputIndentation(int $level)
acts as a multiplyer., (*9)
API
Fluent methods:, (*10)
Lucid\Writer\Writer writeln( string|null $str )
Adds a line., (*11)
Lucid\Writer\Writer indent( void )
Adds an indentation., (*12)
Lucid\Writer\Writer replaceln( string $str, int $index)
Replaces a line at a line index., (*13)
Lucid\Writer\Writer removeln( int $index )
Removes a line at a line index., (*14)
Lucid\Writer\Writer popln ( void )
Removes the last line., (*15)
Lucid\Writer\Writer appendln ( string $str )
Appends a string to the last line., (*16)
None fluent methods:, (*17)
-
void ignoreNull( bool $ignore )
Don't add a line if $str in Writer::writeln() is null. Default is on., (*18)
-
void allowTrailingSpace( bool $space )
Allow/Disallow traling space chars. Default is off., (*19)
-
void useTabs( void )
Use Tabs for indentation instead of spaces., (*20)
-
void setOutputIndentation( int $level )
Sets the output indentation level of the whole text block.
The level value increments the indentation by one indent, e.g. 0 is no additional indentation, 1 is one indent, etc.
Default is 0., (*21)
-
int getOutputIndentation( void )
Gets the output indentation level. (see Writer::setOutputIndentation());, (*22)
Class, Interface, and Trait Writers
Dump PSR-2 compliant php source code., (*23)
There're three object generators, InterfaceWriter, ClassWriter, and TraitWriter.
All object generators share a common API., (*24)
Shared API
- setParent(
string $parent )
This is a one time operation. Once the parent is set, you cannot change it.
$parent name must be the FQN of the parent interface or class., (*25)
- addUseStatement(
string $use )
Adds a use statement to the php document. Naming conflicts will automatically
be resolved, however you can set your own alias by declating the import like
this \Acme\Foo as FooAlias. By default Acme\Lib\Foo will become LibFoo,
or AcmeLibFoo, or AcmeLibFooAlias, and so on.
Note that the use statement is considered to be the FQN;, (*26)
Will return an instance of Lucid\Writer\Object\ImportResolver.
This is useful if you need to know the aliases name of a imported string
(interface, trait, parent class or usestatement), e.g., (*27)
<?php
$alias = $cg->getImportResolver()->getAlias('Acme\MyClass') // e.g. AcmeMyClassAlias;
void addConstant( Lucid\Writer\Object\Constant $constant )
Adds a constant to the interface., (*28)
void addMethod( Lucid\Writer\Object\MethodInterface $method )
Takes an object of type Lucid\Writer\Object\MethodInterface and adds it to
the object declaration., (*29)
Lucid\Writer\Object\DocBlock getDoc( void )
Returns an instance of Lucid\Writer\Object\DocBlock that represents the
document level docblock., (*30)
Lucid\Writer\Object\DocBlock getObjDoc( void )
Returns an instance of Lucid\Writer\Object\DocBlock that represents the
object level docblock., (*31)
void noAutoGenerateTag( void )
By default, the objectwriter will add a timestamp to the document level
docblock. Use this if you wan't to deactivate this behavior., (*32)
InterfaceWriter
Use this for autogenerating php interfaces., (*33)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Object\ClassWriter;
$iw = new InterfaceWriter('Foo', 'Acme', '\Acme\Parent');
file_put_contents('Acme/Foo.php', $iw->generate());
Results in:, (*34)
<?php
/*
* This file was generated at 2014-07-08 12:23:22.
*/
namespace Acme;
/**
* @interface Foo
* @see Acme\Parent
*/
interface Foo extends Parent
{
}
API
- addMethod(
Lucid\Writer\Object\MethodInterface $method )
Takes an object of type Lucid\Writer\Object\InterfaceMethod and adds it to
the interface., (*35)
ClassWriter
Use this to generate php classes., (*36)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Object\ClassWriter;
$cg = new ClassWriter('Foo', 'Acme');
file_put_contents('Acme/Foo.php', $cg->generate());
Results in:, (*37)
<?php
/*
* This file was generated at 2014-07-08 12:23:22.
*/
namespace Acme;
/**
* @class Foo
*/
class Foo
{
}
API
In addition to the InterfaceWriter:, (*38)
-
void addTrait( string $trait )
Takes a FQN of a trait and adds it as a trait. Traits will be automatically
added to the use statements list, except they're belong to exact same namespace of
the class., (*39)
-
void addInterface( string $interface )
Adds an interface. Will be automatically added to the class imports., (*40)
-
void setAbstract( boolean $abstract )
Toggle this class abstract., (*41)
-
void addMethod( MethodInterface $method )
Takes an object of type Method and adds it to the class., (*42)
-
void setProperties( array $properties )
Set the class properties. $properties must be an array of
Lucid\Writer\Object\Property instances., (*43)
-
void addProperty( Lucid\Writer\Object\Property $property )
Takes an object of type Lucid\Writer\Object\Property and adds it as a class property., (*44)
-
void useTraitMethodAs(string $trait, string $method, string $replacement, [string $visibility])
Replaces a method naming conflict between a trait an a class. Default visiblity
is public., (*45)
-
void replaceTraitConflict(string $trait, string $conflict, string $method)
Replaces a method conflict between two traits., (*46)
Example
Generating a class with constants, methods, properties, and traits., (*47)
<?php
use Lucid\Writer\Writer;
use Lucid\Writer\Object\Constant;
use Lucid\Writer\Object\Argument;
use Lucid\Writer\Object\Method;
use Lucid\Writer\Object\Property;
use Lucid\Writer\Object\ClassGenerator;
$cg = new ClassGenerator('Foo', 'Acme');
$cg->setParent('Acme\Lib\Bar');
$cg->addProperty(new Property('foo', Property::IS_PRIVATE, 'string'));
$cg->addConstant(new Constant('T_ASW', '42', 'int'));
$cg->addMethod($method = new Method('__construct', Method::IS_PUBLIC, Method::T_VOID));
// declare method:
$method->setDescription('Constructor.')
$method->addArgument(new Argument('foo', Method::T_STRING, 'null'));
$method->setBody('$this->foo = $foo;');
// Add traits:
$cg->addTrait($foo = 'Acme\Lib\Traits\FooTrait');
$cg->addTrait($bar = 'Acme\Lib\Traits\BarTrait');
// resolve trait conflicts:
$cg->useTraitMethodAs($foo, 'getFoo', 'getFooStr', Method::IS_PRIVATE);
$cg->replaceTraitConflict($bar, $foo, 'getBar');
// modify the class doc.
$cg->getObjDoc()
->setDescription('Some class.')
->setLongDescription("Some more info on the class.\nSome more lines.")
->addAnnotation('author', 'Thomas Appel <mail@thomas-appel.com>');
echo $cg->generate();
Results in, (*48)
<?php
/*
* This file was generated at 2014-07-09 02:07:42.
*/
namespace Acme;
use Acme\Lib\Bar;
use Acme\Lib\Traits\BarTrait;
use Acme\Lib\Traits\FooTrait;
/**
* Some class.
*
* Some more info on the class.
* Some more lines.
*
* @class Foo
* @see Acme\Lib\Bar
* @author Thomas Appel <mail@thomas-appel.com>
*/
class Foo extends Bar
{
use FooTrait,
BarTrait {
FooTrait::getFoo as private getFooStr;
BarTrait::getBar insteadof FooTrait;
}
/** @var int */
const T_ASW = 42;
/** @var string */
private $foo;
/**
* Constructor.
*
* @param string $foo
*/
public function __construct($foo = null)
{
$this->foo = $foo;
}
}
TraitWriter
Behaves like the ClassWriter except there're no constants and interfaces., (*49)
Notes
Setting method bodies is up to you. However, if you rely on class base names
that have been imported you can utilize the import resolver to determine the
actual shortname that's used on the object writer., (*50)
Also see the Shared API section., (*51)
<?php
// $cl beeing the object writer instance.
$body = 'return new '.$cl->getImportResolver()->getAlias('Acme\MyClass').';';
$method->setBody($body);
