Doctrine's EventManager implementation has several advantages over the
EventDispatcher implementation of Symfony2. Therefore I suggest that we
use their implementation.
Advantages:
* Event Listeners are objects, not callbacks. These objects have handler
methods that have the same name as the event. This helps a lot when
reading the code and makes the code for adding an event listener shorter.
* You can create Event Subscribers, which are event listeners with an
additional getSubscribedEvents() method. The benefit here is that the
code that registers the subscriber doesn't need to know about its
implementation.
* All events are defined in static Events classes, so users of IDEs benefit
of code completion
* The communication between the dispatching class of an event and all
listeners is done through a subclass of EventArgs. This subclass can be
tailored to the type of event. A constructor, setters and getters can be
implemented that verify the validity of the data set into the object.
See examples below.
* Because each event type corresponds to an EventArgs implementation,
developers of event listeners can look up the available EventArgs methods
and benefit of code completion.
* EventArgs::stopPropagation() is more flexible and (IMO) clearer to use
than notifyUntil(). Also, it is a concept that is also used in other
event implementations
Before:
class EventListener
{
public function handle(EventInterface $event, $data) { ... }
}
$dispatcher->connect('core.request', array($listener, 'handle'));
$dispatcher->notify('core.request', new Event(...));
After (with listeners):
final class Events
{
const onCoreRequest = 'onCoreRequest';
}
class EventListener
{
public function onCoreRequest(RequestEventArgs $eventArgs) { ... }
}
$evm->addEventListener(Events::onCoreRequest, $listener);
$evm->dispatchEvent(Events::onCoreRequest, new RequestEventArgs(...));
After (with subscribers):
class EventSubscriber
{
public function onCoreRequest(RequestEventArgs $eventArgs) { ... }
public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return Events::onCoreRequest;
}
}
$evm->addEventSubscriber($subscriber);
$evm->dispatchEvent(Events::onCoreRequest, new RequestEventArgs(...));
The main tree doesn't actually process the factories (that's done in an earlier step), so it doesn't actually need their real value. It does, however, need to *not* throw an exception when they're present. An alternative to this approach would be to call ignoreExtraKeys() on the root node of the main tree, but this would allow extra keys to be passed in at the root level, which I thought was a less-desirable solution.
Note that this commit removes the built-in support for MongoDB user providers.
This code can be moved back in once there is a stable release for MongoDB, but
for now you have to set-up that user provider just like you would set-up any
custom user provider:
security:
providers:
document_provider:
id: my.mongo.provider
How to upgrade?
For XML configuration files:
* All extensions should now use the config tag (this is just a convention as
the YAML configurations files do not use it anymore):
* The previous change means that the doctrine and security bundles now are
wrapped under a main "config" tag:
<doctrine:config>
<doctrine:orm />
<doctrine:dbal />
</doctrine:config>
<security:config>
<security:acl />
...
</security:config>
For YAML configuration files:
* The main keys have been renamed as follows:
* assetic:config -> assetic
* app:config -> framework
* webprofiler:config -> web_profiler
* doctrine_odm.mongodb -> doctrine_mongo_db
* doctrine:orm -> doctrine: { orm: ... }
* doctrine:dbal -> doctrine: { dbal: ... }
* security:config -> security
* security:acl -> security: { acl: ... }
* twig.config -> twig
* zend.config -> zend
This allows for better conventions and better error messages if you
use the wrong configuration alias in a config file.
This is also the first step for a bigger refactoring of how the configuration
works (see next commits).
* Bundle::registerExtensions() method has been renamed to Bundle::build()
* The "main" DIC extension must be renamed to the new convention to be
automatically registered:
SensioBlogBundle -> DependencyInjection\SensioBlogExtension
* The main DIC extension alias must follow the convention:
sensio_blog for SensioBlogBundle
* If you have more than one extension for a bundle (which should really
never be the case), they must be registered manually by overriding the
build() method
* If you use YAML or PHP for your configuration, renamed the following
configuration entry points in your configs:
app -> framework
webprofiler -> web_profiler
doctrine_odm -> doctrine_mongo_db
The custom error page is now disabled by default as this would throw an
exception if the /access_denied url does not match a route.
This commit also remove the old parameter for this url which is not used
anymore in the code.
Moved the default value to the Configuration class
This reverts commit f53080860a.
Revert "[Router] config fixes"
This reverts commit 51beecc6f2.
Revert "moved duplicated files to a new Config component"
This reverts commit a8ec9b27f0.
The merging is done in three steps:
1. Normalization:
=================
All passed config arrays will be transformed into the same structure
regardless of what format they come from.
2. Merging:
===========
This is the step when the actual merging is performed. Starting at the root
the configs will be passed along the tree until a node has no children, or
the merging of sub-paths of the current node has been specifically disabled.
Left-Side Right-Side Merge Result
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-nothing- array Right-Side will be taken.
scalar scalar Right-Side will be taken.
array false Right-Side will be taken if ->canBeUnset()
was called on the array node.
false array Right-Side will be taken.
array array Each value in the array will be passed to
the specific child node, or the prototype
node (whatever is present).
3. Finalization:
================
The normalized, and merged config will be passed through the config tree to
perform final validation on the submitted values, and set default values
where this has been requested.
You can influence this process in various ways, here is a list with some examples.
All of these methods must be called on the node on which they should be applied.
* isRequired(): Node must be present in at least one config file.
* requiresAtLeastOneElement(): PrototypeNode must have at least one element.
* treatNullLike($value): Replaces null with $value during normalization.
* treatTrueLike($value): Same as above just for true
* treatFalseLike($value): Same as above just for false
* defaultValue($value): Sets a default value for this node (only for scalars)
* addDefaultsIfNotSet(): Whether to add default values of an array which has not
been defined in any configuration file.
* disallowNewKeysInSubsequentConfigs(): All keys for this array must be defined
in one configuration file, subsequent
configurations may only overwrite these.
* fixXmlConfig($key, $plural = null): Transforms XML config into same structure
as YAML, and PHP configurations.
* useAttributeAsKey($name): Defines which XML attribute to use as array key.
* cannotBeOverwritten(): Declares a certain sub-path as non-overwritable. All
configuration for this path must be defined in the same
configuration file.
* cannotBeEmpty(): If value is set, it must be non-empty.
* canBeUnset(): If array values should be unset if false is specified.
Architecture:
=============
The configuration consists basically out of two different sets of classes.
1. Builder classes: These classes provide the fluent interface and
are used to construct the config tree.
2. Node classes: These classes contain the actual logic for normalization,
merging, and finalizing configurations.
After you have added all the metadata to your builders, the call to
->buildTree() will convert this metadata to actual node classes. Most of the
time, you will not have to interact with the config nodes directly, but will
delegate this to the Processor class which will call the respective methods
on the config node classes.
