Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

0.9.0 (2022-05-23)

Notable changes

Cache injection and warmup

The cache feature has been revisited, to give more control to the user on how and when to use it.

The method MapperBuilder::withCacheDir() has been deprecated in favor of a new method MapperBuilder::withCache() which accepts any PSR-16 compliant implementation.

Warning

These changes lead up to the default cache not being automatically registered anymore. If you still want to enable the cache (which you should), you will have to explicitly inject it (see below).

A default implementation is provided out of the box, which saves cache entries into the file system.

When the application runs in a development environment, the cache implementation should be decorated with FileWatchingCache, which will watch the files of the application and invalidate cache entries when a PHP file is modified by a developer — preventing the library not behaving as expected when the signature of a property or a method changes.

The cache can be warmed up, for instance in a pipeline during the build and deployment of the application — kudos to @boesing for the feature!

Note

The cache has to be registered first, otherwise the warmup will end up being useless.

$cache = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Cache\FileSystemCache('path/to/cache-directory');

if ($isApplicationInDevelopmentEnvironment) {
    $cache = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Cache\FileWatchingCache($cache);
}

$mapperBuilder = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())->withCache($cache);

// During the build:
$mapperBuilder->warmup(SomeClass::class, SomeOtherClass::class);

// In the application:
$mapperBuilder->mapper()->map(SomeClass::class, [/* … */]);

---

Message formatting & translation

Major changes have been made to the messages being returned in case of a mapping error: the actual texts are now more accurate and show better information.

Warning

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 (see below).

The signature of the method MessageFormatter::format has changed as well.

It is now also easier to format the messages, for instance when they need to be translated. Placeholders can now be used in a message body, and will be replaced with useful information.

Placeholder	Description
{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

try {
    (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
        ->mapper()
        ->map(SomeClass::class, [/* … */]);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
    $node = $error->node();
    $messages = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\MessagesFlattener($node);

    foreach ($messages as $message) {
        if ($message->code() === 'some_code') {
            $message = $message->withBody('new message / {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.

try {
    (new \CuyZ\Valinor\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');
}

See ICU documentation for more information on available syntax.

Warning

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 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.

\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\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.

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\AggregateMessageFormatter(
    new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\LocaleMessageFormatter('fr'),
    new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\MessageMapFormatter([
        // …
    ],
    \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\TranslationMessageFormatter::default(),
))->format($message)

0.7.0 (2022-03-24)

Notable changes

Warning

This release introduces a major breaking change that must be considered before updating

Constructor registration

The automatic named constructor discovery has been disabled. It is now mandatory to explicitly register custom constructors that can be used by the mapper.

This decision was made because of a security issue reported by @Ocramius and described in advisory [GHSA-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2].

As a result, 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 in favor of the method above that should be used instead.

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, [
        // …
    ]);

See documentation for more information.

---

Source builder

The Source class is a new entry point for sources that are not plain array or iterable. It allows accessing other features like camel-case keys or custom paths mapping in a convenient way.

It should be used as follows:

$source = \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Source\Source::json($jsonString)
    ->camelCaseKeys()
    ->map([
        'towns' => 'cities',
        'towns.*.label' => 'name',
    ]);

$result = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->mapper()
    ->map(SomeClass::class, $source);

See documentation for more details about its usage.

---

0.4.0 (2022-01-07)

Notable changes

Allow mapping to any type

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:

$objects = (new MapperBuilder())->mapper()->map(
    'array<' . SomeClass::class . '>',
    [/* … */]
);

For simple use-cases, an array shape can be used:

$array = (new MapperBuilder())->mapper()->map(
    'array{foo: string, bar: int}',
    [/* … */]
);

echo $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.

---

Better handling of messages

When working with messages, it can sometimes be useful to customize the content of a message — for instance to translate it.

The helper class \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\Formatter\MessageMapFormatter can be used to provide a list of new formats. It can be instantiated with 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 the 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 will automatically be replaced by, in order:

1. The original code of the message
2. The original content of the message
3. A string representation of the node type
4. The name of the node
5. The path of the node

try {
    (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
        ->mapper()
        ->map(SomeClass::class, [/* … */]);
} catch (\CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\MappingError $error) {
    $node = $error->node();
    $messages = new \CuyZ\Valinor\Mapper\Tree\Message\MessagesFlattener($node);

    $formatter = (new MessageMapFormatter([
        // Will match if the given message has this exact code
        'some_code' => 'new content / previous code was: %1$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 `SomeError`
        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_message'));

    foreach ($messages as $message) {
        echo $formatter->format($message);    
    }
}

---

Automatic union of objects inferring during mapping

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.

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']);
