Welcome to the Accessor Generator composer plugin.

Goals

The goal of this plugin is to provide dynamically generated get, set, add, remove accessor methods for Classes based on information that we can read from the doc comment. Currently we can process Doctrine ORM annotations.

Since the code is automatically generated you do not have to (unit) test it and it will be very consistent with a lot of added boilerplate code that will make your code fail early if you happen to use the wrong type or number of arguments with the generated functions.

WARNING The current version of this package is deprecated as a new version is being worked on for PHP 7, which will introduce BC-breaks.

Limitations

• Imports through grouped use statements is not supported. (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/group_use_declarations)
• Scalar typehints is not being added (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/scalar_type_hints_v5)

Usage

<?php
namespace Hostnet\Product\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Hostnet\Component\AccessorGenerator\Annotation as AG;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="periode")
 */
class Period
{
    use \Hostnet\Product\Entity\Generated\PeriodMethodsTrait; // This is the file that gets generated with the
                                                              // accessor methods inside.
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
     * @AG\Generate                                           // Here you ask methods to be generated
     *
     * @var int
     */
    private $id;

    // ...
}

Code will be generated in a subfolder and namespace (Generated) relative to the current file. This file can be included as trait.

Which methods

It is possible to disable generation of certain accessor methods by specifying them in the annotation.

/**
 * @AG\Generate(add=false,set=false,remove=false,get=false,is=false)
 */

Is is an alias for get. If your property is of type boolean an isProperty method is generated instead of a getProperty method. For ORM\GeneratedValue properties, no setters will be generated. Note that the example above will generate no code at all.

If no configuration is specified, the default behaviour for all scalar typed properties is that a getter and a settter method will be generated. Adders and Removers will be generated when the type is iterable (e.g. DoctrineCollection or array).

Encryption

To use asymmetric encryption on a column's value add the 'encryption_alias' field to the Generate annotation. Also make sure the type of the database column has a big enough length. At least 1064 for key and IV is needed, plus the length of the sealed data itself.

@AG\Generate(encryption_alias="database.table.column")

The alias used there should be added to the application's composer.json as follows:

"extra": {
     "accessor-generator": {
         <encryption_alias>: {
             public-key: <key_file>
             private-key: <key_file>
...

If the application has to encrypt, add the public key. If the application has to decrypt, add the private key. If the application has to do both, add both.

The key_file has to contain the file path relative to the composer.json.

Do not forget to use the setter in the constructor body as well to trigger the encryption.

Installation

Add hostnet/accessor-generator-plugin-lib to your composer.json and run php composer.phar update hostnet/accessor-generator-plugin-lib

If you want to invoke generation after installing you can run php composer.phar dump-autoload. Try adding -vv to the dump-autoload command for more verbosity.
