Description 

Author

This package can generate PHP code elements programatically.

It provides a set of classes that can generate PHP code elements of different types like PHP files, classes, interfaces, functions, function patrameters, variables and annotations.

Another set of classes can generate more complex components made of base PHP code elements that are passed to these classes as object parameters.

Prize: One copy of the Zend Studio
One common way to generate code in PHP or any other language is to use templates and replace variable values.

This package provide an alternative approach that consists in classes of objects that represent each type of construct of the PHP language, like classes, interfaces, functions, variables, etc..

It can define the PHP code you want to generate by combining language element objects in a hierarchic way.

PhpGenerator Component

This directory contains the components that are on top of element as component can contain elements and eases generation of more complex elements.

Using one of these components, you can generate the content of more complex element:

  • complete php file
  • class: classic, abstract, interface

Main features

Generate a complete class

$class = new PhpClassComponent('Foo', true, 'stdClass');
$class
    ->addAnnotationBlock('@var string')
    ->addConstant('FOO', 'theValue')
    ->addAnnotationBlock('@var string')
    ->addConstant('BAR', 'theOtherValue')
    ->addAnnotationBlock(new PhpAnnotationElement('var', 'int'))
    ->addProperty('bar', 1)
    ->addAnnotationBlock(new PhpAnnotationElement('var', 'bool'))
    ->addPropertyElement(new PhpPropertyElement('sample', true))
    ->addAnnotationBlock([
        new PhpAnnotationElement(PhpAnnotationElement::NO_NAME, 'This method is very useful'),
        new PhpAnnotationElement('date', '2012-03-01'),
        '@return mixed'
    ])
    ->addMethod('getMyValue', [
        new PhpFunctionParameterElement('asString', true),
        'unusedParameter'
    ])
    ->addAnnotationBlock([
        new PhpAnnotationElement(PhpAnnotationElement::NO_NAME, 'This method is very useless'),
        new PhpAnnotationElement('date', '2012-03-01'),
        '@return void'
    ])
    ->addMethod('uselessMethod', [
        new PhpFunctionParameterElement('uselessParameter', null),
        'unusedParameter'
    ]);
echo $class->toString();

displays

abstract class Foo extends stdClass
{
    /
     * @var string
     */
    const FOO = 'theValue';
    /
     * @var string
     */
    const BAR = 'theOtherValue';
    /
     * @var int
     */
    public $bar = 1;
    /
     * @var bool
     */
    public $sample = true;
    /
     * This method is very useful
     * @date 2012-03-01
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getMyValue($asString = true, $unusedParameter)
    {
    }
    /
     * This method is very useless
     * @date 2012-03-01
     * @return void
     */
    public function uselessMethod($uselessParameter = null, $unusedParameter)
    {
    }
}

Generate a complete PHP file with a class

$file = new PhpFileComponent('Foo');
$class = new PhpClassComponent('Foo', true, 'stdClass');
$class
    ->addAnnotationBlock('@var string')
    ->addConstant('FOO', 'theValue')
    ->addAnnotationBlock('@var string')
    ->addConstant('BAR', 'theOtherValue')
    ->addAnnotationBlock(new PhpAnnotationElement('var', 'int'))
    ->addProperty('bar', 1)
    ->addAnnotationBlock(new PhpAnnotationElement('var', 'bool'))
    ->addPropertyElement(new PhpPropertyElement('sample', true))
    ->addAnnotationBlock([
        new PhpAnnotationElement(PhpAnnotationElement::NO_NAME, 'This method is very useful'),
        new PhpAnnotationElement('date', '2012-03-01'),
        '@return mixed'
    ])
    ->addMethod('getMyValue', [
        new PhpFunctionParameterElement('asString', true),
        'unusedParameter'
    ])
    ->addAnnotationBlock([
        new PhpAnnotationElement(PhpAnnotationElement::NO_NAME, 'This method is very useless'),
        new PhpAnnotationElement('date', '2012-03-01'),
        '@return void'
    ])
    ->addMethod('uselessMethod', [
        new PhpFunctionParameterElement('uselessParameter', null),
        'unusedParameter'
    ]);
$file
    ->setDeclare(PhpDeclare::DIRECTIVE_STRICT_TYPES, 1)
    ->setNamespace('My\\Testing\\NamespaceName')
    ->addUse('My\\Testing\\ParentNamespace\\Model')
    ->addUse('My\\Testing\\ParentNamespace\\Repository')
    ->addUse('My\\Testing\\ParentNamespace\\Generator')
    ->addUse('My\\Testing\\ParentNamespace\\Foo', 'FooType')
    ->addClassComponent($class);
echo $file->toString();

displays

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace My\Testing\NamespaceName;

use My\Testing\ParentNamespace\Model;
use My\Testing\ParentNamespace\Repository;
use My\Testing\ParentNamespace\Generator;
use My\Testing\ParentNamespace\Foo as FooType;

abstract class Foo extends stdClass
{
    /
     * @var string
     */
    const FOO = 'theValue';
    /
     * @var string
     */
    const BAR = 'theOtherValue';
    /
     * @var int
     */
    public $bar = 1;
    /
     * @var bool
     */
    public $sample = true;
    /
     * This method is very useful
     * @date 2012-03-01
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getMyValue($asString = true, $unusedParameter)
    {
    }
    /
     * This method is very useless
     * @date 2012-03-01
     * @return void
     */
    public function uselessMethod($uselessParameter = null, $unusedParameter)
    {
    }
}

PhpGenerator, a Real PHP source code generator

> PhpGenerator helps to generate PHP source code

License Latest Stable Version TeamCity build status Scrutinizer Code Quality Code Coverage Total Downloads StyleCI SymfonyInsight

Even if this project is yet another PHP source code generator, its main goal is to provide a consistent PHP source code generator for the PackageGenerator project. Nevertheless, it also aims to be used for any PHP source code generation process as it generates standard PHP code.

Rest assured that it is not tweaked for the purpose of the PackageGenerator project.

Main features

This project contains two main features:

  • Element: generate basic elements
  • Component: generate structured complex elements

Testing using Docker

Thanks to the Docker image of phpfarm, tests can be run locally under any PHP version using the cli: - php-7.4

First of all, you need to create your container which you can do using docker-compose by running the below command line from the root directory of the project:

$ docker-compose up -d --build

You then have a container named php_generator in which you can run composer commands and php cli commands such as:

# install deps in container (using update ensure it does use the composer.lock file if there is any)
$ docker exec -it php_generator php-7.4 /usr/bin/composer update
# run tests in container
$ docker exec -it php_generator php-7.4 -dmemory_limit=-1 vendor/bin/phpunit
