Generator

The package ships with two generators, which are configurable through an associative array as constructor parameter. Alternatively if you have a project that uses the same configuration over and over again, extend the respective config object and pass it instead of the configuration array.

<?php
use gossi\codegen\generator\CodeGenerator;

// a) new code generator with options passed as array
$generator = new CodeGenerator([
  'generateDocblock' => false,
  ...
]);

// b) new code generator with options passed as object
$generator = new CodeGenerator(new MyCodeGenerationConfig());

CodeGenerator

Generates code for a given model. Additionally (and by default), it will generate docblocks for all contained classes, methods, interfaces, etc. you have prior to generating the code.

• Class: gossi\codegen\generator\CodeGenerator

• Config: gossi\codegen\config\CodeGeneratorConfig

• Options:

  Key	Type	Default Value	Description
  generateDocblock	boolean	true	enables docblock generation prior to code generation
  generateEmptyDocblock	boolean	true	allows generation of empty docblocks
  generateScalarTypeHints	boolean	false	generates scalar type hints, e.g. in method/function parameters (PHP 7)
  generateReturnTypeHints	boolean	false	generates scalar type hints for return values (PHP 7)
  enableSorting	boolean	true	Enables sorting
  useStatementSorting	boolean|string|Closure|Comparator	default	Sorting mechanism for use statements
  constantSorting	boolean|string|Closure|Comparator	default	Sorting mechanism for constants
  propertySorting	boolean|string|Closure|Comparator	default	Sorting mechanism for properties
  methodSorting	boolean|string|Closure|Comparator	default	Sorting mechanism for methods

  Note: when generateDocblock is set to false then generateEmptyDocblock is false as well.

  Note 2: For sorting …

  • … a string will used to find a comparator with that name (at the moment there is only default).
  • … with a boolean you can disable sorting for a particular member
  • … you can pass in your own \Closure for comparison
  • … you can pass in a Comparator for comparison

• Example:

  <?php
  use gossi\codegen\generator\CodeGenerator;
  
  // will set every option to true, because of the defaults
  $generator = new CodeGenerator([
    'generateScalarTypeHints' => true,
    'generateReturnTypeHints' => true
  ]);
  $code = $generator->generate($myClass);
  

CodeFileGenerator

Generates a complete php file with the given model inside. Especially useful when creating PSR-4 compliant code, which you are about to dump into a file. It extends the CodeGenerator and as such inherits all its benefits.

• Class: gossi\codegen\generator\CodeFileGenerator

• Config: gossi\codegen\config\CodeFileGeneratorConfig

• Options: Same options as CodeGenerator plus:

  Key	Type	Default Value	Description
  headerComment	null|string|Docblock	null	A comment, that will be put after the <?php statement
  headerDocblock	null|string|Docblock	null	A docblock that will be positioned after the possible header comment
  blankLineAtEnd	boolean	true	Places an empty line at the end of the generated file
  declareStrictTypes	boolean	false	Whether or not a declare(strict_types=1); is placed at the top of the file (PHP 7)

  Note: declareStrictTypes sets generateScalarTypeHints and generateReturnTypeHints to true.

• Example:

  <?php
  use gossi\codegen\generator\CodeFileGenerator;
  
  $generator = new CodeGenerator([
    'headerComment' => 'This will be placed at the top, woo',
    'headerDocblock' => 'Full documentation mode confirmed!',
    'declareStrictTypes' => true
  ]);
  $code = $generator->generate($myClass);
