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);
}
}
```
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.
This also brings `TreeMapper#map()` closer to PHPStorm support, whilst
still benefiting from more precise `vimeo/psalm:4.18.x` types thanks to
the conditional return specification.

This is mostly to include type inference in regression tests: out-of-the
box type inference for 99% of usages is based on
`TreeMapper#map(class-string<T>, mixed): T`, and it is worth preserving
that behavior without the need of plugins.
This test covers that.
This change filters the scope of the public API that is provided by this
library.
Any class or interface that is not explicitly marked with an `@api`
annotation should never be used outside this library — any change can
and will be made without taking breaking changes rules into account.
When a breaking change happens inside the public API scope, a major
version will be released; refer to https://semver.org for more
information.
A new PHPStan extension is now part of the quality assurance process,
ensuring that all classes/interfaces must provide either `@internal` or
`@api` annotation.
When the mapper needs to map a source to a union of objects, it will try
to guess which object it will map to, based on the needed arguments of
the objects, and the values contained in the source.
```php
final class UnionOfObjects
{
public readonly SomeFooObject|SomeBarObject $object;
}
final class SomeFooObject
{
public readonly string $foo;
}
final class SomeBarObject
{
public readonly string $bar;
}
// Will map to an instance of `SomeFooObject`
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(UnionOfObjects::class, ['foo' => 'foo']);
// Will map to an instance of `SomeBarObject`
(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
->mapper()
->map(UnionOfObjects::class, ['bar' => 'bar']);
```
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.
Integer range can be used as follows:
```php
final class SomeClass
{
/** @var int<42, 1337> */
public int $intRange; // accepts any int between 42 and 1337
/** @var int<-1337, 1337> */
public int $negativeIntRange; // also works with negative values
/** @var int<min, 1337> */
public int $minIntRange; // `min` can be used…
/** @var int<0, max> */
public int $maxIntRange; // …as well as `max`
}
```
Note that `min` and `max` will check the range with PHP's internal
constants `PHP_INT_MIN` and `PHP_INT_MAX`.
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;
}
```
