When the application runs in a development environment, the cache
implementation should be decorated with `FileWatchingCache` to prevent
invalid cache entries states, which can result in the library not
behaving as expected (missing property value, callable with outdated
signature, …).
```php
$cache = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Cache\FileSystemCache('path/to/cache-dir');
if ($isApplicationInDevelopmentEnvironment) {
$cache = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Cache\FileWatchingCache($cache);
}
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->withCache($cache)
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, [/* … */]);
```
This behavior now forces to explicitly inject `FileWatchingCache`, when
it was done automatically before; but because it shouldn't be used in
a production environment, it will increase overall performance.
Using variadic parameters is now handled properly by the library,
meaning the following example will run:
```php
final class SomeClass
{
/** @var string[] */
private array $values;
public function __construct(string ...$values)
{
$this->values = $values;
}
}
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);
```
This abstraction layer was not useful, so it is removed to simplify the
API around `ClassDefinition`.
A new method `ClassDefinition::type()` is also added, giving access to
the `ClassType` instance when working with a class definition.
Type aliases can now be imported from another class definition.
Both PHPStan and Psalm syntax are handled.
```php
/**
* @phpstan-type SomeTypeAlias = array{foo: string}
*/
final class SomeClass
{
/** @var SomeTypeAlias */
public array $someTypeAlias;
}
/**
* @phpstan-import-type SomeTypeAlias from SomeClass
*/
final class SomeOtherClass
{
/** @var SomeTypeAlias */
public array $someTypeAlias;
}
```
Type aliases can now be added to a class definition.
Both PHPStan and Psalm syntax are handled.
```php
/**
* @phpstan-type SomeTypeAlias = array{foo: string}
* @psalm-type SomeOtherTypeAlias = array{bar: int}
*/
final class SomeClass
{
/** @var SomeTypeAlias */
public array $someTypeAlias;
/** @var SomeOtherTypeAlias */
public array $someOtherTypeAlias;
}
```
