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($message)
```
BREAKING CHANGE: The method `NodeMessage::format` has been removed,
message formatters should be used instead. If needed, the old behaviour
can be retrieved with the formatter `PlaceHolderMessageFormatter`,
although it is strongly advised to use the new placeholders feature.
BREAKING CHANGE: The signature of the method `MessageFormatter::format`
has changed.
Enhances most of the messages for the end users.
Two major changes can be noticed:
1. In most cases no class name will be written in the message; it
prevents users that potentially have no access to the codebase to
get a useless/unclear information.
2. The input values are now properly formatted; for instance a string
value will now be written directly instead of the type `string`;
arrays are also handled with the array shape format, for instance:
`array{foo: 'some string'}`.
A new class `NodeMessage` is used to wrap messages added to a node
during the mapping. This class will allow further features by giving
access to useful data related to the bound node.
BREAKING CHANGE: as of now every message is wrapped into a `NodeMessage`
it is therefore not possible to check whether the message is an instance
of `Throwable` — a new method `$message->isError()` is now to be used
for such cases.
