The way messages can be customized has been totally revisited, requiring
several breaking changes. All existing error messages have been
rewritten to better fit the actual meaning of the error.
The content of a message can be changed to fit custom use cases; it can
contain placeholders that will be replaced with useful information.
The placeholders below are always available; even more may be used
depending on the original message.
- `{message_code}` — the code of the message
- `{node_name}` — name of the node to which the message is bound
- `{node_path}` — path of the node to which the message is bound
- `{node_type}` — type of the node to which the message is bound
- `{original_value}` — the source value that was given to the node
- `{original_message}` — the original message before being customized
```php
try {
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, [/* … */]);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
$messages = new MessagesFlattener($error->node());
foreach ($messages as $message) {
if ($message->code() === 'some_code') {
$message = $message->withBody('new / {original_message}');
}
echo $message;
}
}
```
The messages are formatted using the ICU library, enabling the
placeholders to use advanced syntax to perform proper translations, for
instance currency support.
```php
try {
(new MapperBuilder())->mapper()->map('int<0, 100>', 1337);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
$message = $error->node()->messages()[0];
if (is_numeric($message->value())) {
$message = $message->withBody(
'Invalid amount {original_value, number, currency}'
);
}
// Invalid amount: $1,337.00
echo $message->withLocale('en_US');
// Invalid amount: £1,337.00
echo $message->withLocale('en_GB');
// Invalid amount: 1 337,00 €
echo $message->withLocale('fr_FR');
}
```
If the `intl` extension is not installed, a shim will be available to
replace the placeholders, but it won't handle advanced syntax as
described above.
---
The new formatter `TranslationMessageFormatter` can be used to translate
the content of messages.
The library provides a list of all messages that can be returned; this
list can be filled or modified with custom translations.
```php
TranslationMessageFormatter::default()
// Create/override a single entry…
->withTranslation(
'fr',
'some custom message',
'un message personnalisé'
)
// …or several entries.
->withTranslations([
'some custom message' => [
'en' => 'Some custom message',
'fr' => 'Un message personnalisé',
'es' => 'Un mensaje personalizado',
],
'some other message' => [
// …
],
])
->format($message);
```
It is possible to join several formatters into one formatter by using
the `AggregateMessageFormatter`. This instance can then easily be
injected in a service that will handle messages.
The formatters will be called in the same order they are given to the
aggregate.
```php
(new AggregateMessageFormatter(
new LocaleMessageFormatter('fr'),
new MessageMapFormatter([
// …
],
TranslationMessageFormatter::default(),
))->format($message)
```
BREAKING CHANGE: The method `NodeMessage::format` has been removed,
message formatters should be used instead. If needed, the old behaviour
can be retrieved with the formatter `PlaceHolderMessageFormatter`,
although it is strongly advised to use the new placeholders feature.
BREAKING CHANGE: The signature of the method `MessageFormatter::format`
has changed.
Enhances most of the messages for the end users.
Two major changes can be noticed:
1. In most cases no class name will be written in the message; it
prevents users that potentially have no access to the codebase to
get a useless/unclear information.
2. The input values are now properly formatted; for instance a string
value will now be written directly instead of the type `string`;
arrays are also handled with the array shape format, for instance:
`array{foo: 'some string'}`.
It is now mandatory to explicitly register custom constructors —
including named constructors — that can be used by the mapper. The
former automatic registration of named constructor feature doesn't
work anymore.
BREAKING CHANGE: existing code must list all named constructors that
were previously automatically used by the mapper, and registerer them
using the method `MapperBuilder::registerConstructor()`.
The method `MapperBuilder::bind()` has been deprecated, the method above
should be used instead.
```php
final class SomeClass
{
public static function namedConstructor(string $foo): self
{
// …
}
}
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->registerConstructor(
SomeClass::namedConstructor(...),
// …or for PHP < 8.1:
[SomeClass::class, 'namedConstructor'],
)
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, [
// …
]);
```
This modifier can be used to change paths in the source data using a dot
notation.
The mapping is done using an associative array of path mappings. This
array must have the source path as key and the target path as value.
The source path uses the dot notation (eg `A.B.C`) and can contain one
`*` for array paths (eg `A.B.*.C`).
```php
final class Country
{
/** @var City[] */
public readonly array $cities;
}
final class City
{
public readonly string $name;
}
$source = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Source\Modifier\PathMapping([
'towns' => [
['label' => 'Ankh Morpork'],
['label' => 'Minas Tirith'],
],
], [
'towns' => 'cities',
'towns.*.label' => 'name',
]);
// After modification this is what the source will look like:
[
'cities' => [
['name' => 'Ankh Morpork'],
['name' => 'Minas Tirith'],
],
];
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(Country::class, $source);
```
The method `MapperBuilder::infer()` can be used to infer an
implementation for a given interface.
The callback given to this method must return the name of a class that
implements the interface. Any arguments can be required by the callback;
they will be mapped properly using the given source.
```php
$mapper = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->infer(UuidInterface::class, fn () => MyUuid::class)
->infer(SomeInterface::class, fn (string $type) => match($type) {
'first' => FirstImplementation::class,
'second' => SecondImplementation::class,
default => throw new DomainException("Unhandled type `$type`.")
})->mapper();
// Will return an instance of `FirstImplementation`
$mapper->map(SomeInterface::class, [
'type' => 'first',
'uuid' => 'a6868d61-acba-406d-bcff-30ecd8c0ceb6',
'someString' => 'foo',
]);
// Will return an instance of `SecondImplementation`
$mapper->map(SomeInterface::class, [
'type' => 'second',
'uuid' => 'a6868d61-acba-406d-bcff-30ecd8c0ceb6',
'someInt' => 42,
]);
interface SomeInterface {}
final class FirstImplementation implements SomeInterface
{
public readonly UuidInterface $uuid;
public readonly string $someString;
}
final class SecondImplementation implements SomeInterface
{
public readonly UuidInterface $uuid;
public readonly int $someInt;
}
```
Inferring object unions and named constructor are now done using the
same algorithm — in class `ObjectBuilderFilterer` — which is called from
a unique entry point in `ClassNodeBuilder`.
An object may have several ways of being created — in such cases it is
common to use so-called named constructors, also known as static factory
methods. If one or more are found, they can be called during the mapping
to create an instance of the object.
What defines a named constructor is a method that:
1. is public
2. is static
3. returns an instance of the object
4. has one or more arguments
```php
final class Color
{
/**
* @param int<0, 255> $red
* @param int<0, 255> $green
* @param int<0, 255> $blue
*/
private function __construct(
public readonly int $red,
public readonly int $green,
public readonly int $blue
) {}
/**
* @param int<0, 255> $red
* @param int<0, 255> $green
* @param int<0, 255> $blue
*/
public static function fromRgb(
int $red,
int $green,
int $blue,
): self {
return new self($red, $green, $blue);
}
/**
* @param non-empty-string $hex
*/
public static function fromHex(string $hex): self
{
if (strlen($hex) !== 6) {
throw new DomainException('Must be 6 characters long');
}
/** @var int<0, 255> $red */
$red = hexdec(substr($hex, 0, 2));
/** @var int<0, 255> $green */
$green = hexdec(substr($hex, 2, 2));
/** @var int<0, 255> $blue */
$blue = hexdec(substr($hex, 4, 2));
return new self($red, $green, $blue);
}
}
```
Will recursively flatten messages of a node and all its children.
This helper can for instance be used when errors occurred during a
mapping to flatten all caught errors into a basic array of string that
can then easily be used to inform the user of what is wrong.
```
try {
// …
} catch(MappingError $error) {
$messages = (new MessagesFlattener($error->node()))->errors();
foreach ($messages as $message) {
echo $message;
}
}
```
Can be used to customize the content of messages added during a mapping.
An implementation is provided by the library — `MessageMapFormatter`:
The constructor parameter is an array where each key represents either:
- The code of the message to be replaced
- The content of the message to be replaced
- The class name of the message to be replaced
If none of those is found, the content of the message will stay
unchanged unless a default one is given to this class.
If one of these keys is found, the array entry will be used to replace
the content of the message. This entry can be either a plain text or a
callable that takes the message as a parameter and returns a string; it
is for instance advised to use a callable in cases where a translation
service is used — to avoid useless greedy operations.
In any case, the content can contain placeholders that can be used the
same way as `\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\NodeMessage::format()`.
See usage examples below:
```
$formatter = (new MessageMapFormatter([
// Will match if the given message has this exact code
'some_code' => 'new content / previous code was: %1$s',
// Will match if the given message has this exact content
'Some message content' => 'new content / previous message: %2$s',
// Will match if the given message is an instance of this class
SomeError::class => '
- Original code of the message: %1$s
- Original content of the message: %2$s
- Node type: %3$s
- Node name: %4$s
- Node path: %5$s
',
// A callback can be used to get access to the message instance
OtherError::class => function (NodeMessage $message): string {
if ((string)$message->type() === 'string|int') {
// …
}
return 'Some message content';
},
// For greedy operation, it is advised to use a lazy-callback
'bar' => fn () => $this->translator->translate('foo.bar'),
]))
->defaultsTo('some default message')
// …or…
->defaultsTo(fn () => $this->translator->translate('default'));
$content = $formatter->format($message);
```
A new class `NodeMessage` is used to wrap messages added to a node
during the mapping. This class will allow further features by giving
access to useful data related to the bound node.
BREAKING CHANGE: as of now every message is wrapped into a `NodeMessage`
it is therefore not possible to check whether the message is an instance
of `Throwable` — a new method `$message->isError()` is now to be used
for such cases.
Previously, the method `TreeMapper::map` would allow mapping only to an
object. It is now possible to map to any type handled by the library.
It is for instance possible to map to an array of objects:
```php
$objects = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())->mapper()->map(
'array<' . SomeClass::class . '>',
[/* … */]
);
```
For simple use-cases, an array shape can be used:
```php
$array = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())->mapper()->map(
'array{foo: string, bar: int}',
[/* … */]
);
echo strtolower($array['foo']);
echo $array['bar'] * 2;
```
This new feature changes the possible behaviour of the mapper, meaning
static analysis tools need help to understand the types correctly. An
extension for PHPStan and a plugin for Psalm are now provided and can be
included in a project to automatically increase the type coverage.
When an error occurs during mapping, the root instance of `Node` can now
be accessed from the exception. This recursive object allows retrieving
all needed information through the whole mapping tree: path, values,
types and messages, including the issues that caused the exception.
It can be used like the following:
```php
try {
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, [/* ... */]);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
// Do something with `$error->node()`
// See README for more information
}
```
This change removes the method `MappingError::describe()` which provided
a flattened view of messages of all the errors that were encountered
during the mapping. The same behaviour can still be retrieved, see the
example below:
```php
use CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Message;
use CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Node;
/**
* @implements \IteratorAggregate<string, array<\Throwable&Message>>
*/
final class MappingErrorList implements \IteratorAggregate
{
private Node $node;
public function __construct(Node $node)
{
$this->node = $node;
}
/**
* @return \Traversable<string, array<\Throwable&Message>>
*/
public function getIterator(): \Traversable
{
yield from $this->errors($this->node);
}
/**
* @return \Traversable<string, array<\Throwable&Message>>
*/
private function errors(Node $node): \Traversable
{
$errors = array_filter(
$node->messages(),
static fn (Message $m) => $m instanceof \Throwable
);
if (! empty($errors)) {
yield $node->path() => array_values($errors);
}
foreach ($node->children() as $child) {
yield from $this->errors($child);
}
}
}
try {
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(SomeClass::class, [/* ... */]);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
$errors = iterator_to_array(new MappingErrorList($error->node()));
}
```
The class `CannotMapObject` is deleted, as it does not provide any
value; this means that `MappingError` which was previously an interface
becomes a class.
