Simple PHP library for parsing and handling class and function aliases defined by USE statements.
Book.php
Here we have an entity class Book with some annotations:
namespace Model\Entities;
use \DateTime;
/**
* @property User $author
* @property DateTime $written
*/
class Book
{}
function foo()
{}foo.php
And now let's say we would like to take those annotations and get the full class name of those @property types defined. And that's where we'll use Aliaser:
$reflection = new ReflectionClass('Model\Entities\Book');
Aliaser\Container::getClass('User', $reflection); // 'Model\Entities\User'
Aliaser\Container::getClass('DateTime', $reflection); // 'DateTime'We can discover full function/callback name according to given namespace context as well.
Aliaser\Container::getCallback('DateTime::format', $reflection); // 'DateTime::format'
Aliaser\Container::getCallback('User::getName', $reflection); // 'Model\Entities\User::getName'
Aliaser\Container::getCallback('foo', $reflection); // 'Model\Entities\foo'It handles multiple namespace definitions in a single file as well.
However, parsing can be quite expensive - we can use a Nette Framework Cache:
$storage = new Nette\Caching\Storages\FileStorage(__DIR__ . '/temp');
Aliaser\Container::setCacheStorage($storage);
// ...Enjoy.
