The onCore* events are fired at some pre-defined points during the
handling of a request. At this is more important than the fact
that you can change things from the event.
The only missing part is ContainerAwareEventManager::addEventSubscriberService(),
because I'm not sure how to find out the class name of a service in the DIC.
Also, inline documentation of this code needs to be finished once it is accepted.
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 Response is not available in the DIC anymore.
When you need to create a response, create an instance of
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response instead.
As a side effect, the Controller::createResponse() and Controller::redirect()
methods have been removed and can easily be replaced as follows:
return $this->createResponse('content', 200, array('foo' => 'bar'));
return new Response('content', 200, array('foo' => 'bar'));
return $this->redirect($url);
return Response::createRedirect($url);
Without this patch, if you call __toString() on a Response,
the content-type auto-detection would never be trigerred
as __toString() changes the default content-type.
In routing files, import statements allow an optional "type" option to hint the resources' type (e.g. for ambiguous file extensions). This adds the same type option to the FrameworkExtension config, which defines the main routing resource.
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.
This fixes some BC problems introduced in f9138d313b. Some top-level can now be simply enabled by providing true/null in PHP/YAML. Additionally, the Configuration\Builder allows options to be unset by providing "false" (helpful for overriding activation in a previous config file). All options supporting these behaviors can be found in the Configuration.php file (look for canBeUnset() and treatNull/TrueLike()).
Major changes:
* Removed "enabled" option for profiler config. Profiler is now enabled if its config is true, null or a map.
* Restore original config structure for validation namespaces. In PHP/YAML, namespaces are defined under annotations as an alternative to false (disabled) and true/null (enabled). For XML, annotation remains a boolean attribute for validation and a one or more optional namespace tags may appear within <app:validation />. During config normalization, namespace tags under validation will be moved to annotations to conform to the PHP/YAML structure (this occurs transparently to the user).
* Restore behavior for router/templating config sections being optional (as shown in changes to session/validation test fixtures). If either top-level section is unset in the configuration, neither feature will be enabled and the user will no longer receive exceptions due to missing a resource option (router) or engines (templating). Resource/engines will still be properly required if the respective feature is enabled.
* Remove unused router type option from XML config XSD. Type is only relevant for import statements, so this option is likely useless.
Additional small changes:
* Added isset()'s, since config options may be unset
* Wrap registerXxxConfiguration() calls in isset() checks
* Load translation.xml in configLoad(), since it's always required
* Default cache_warmer value (!kernel.debug) is determined via Configuration class
Things to be fixed:
* Configuration\Builder doesn't seem to respect isRequired() and requiresAtLeastOneElement() (or I haven't set it properly); this should replace the need for FrameworkExtension to throw exceptions for bad router/templating configs
* The config nodes for session options don't have the "pdo." prefix, as dots are not allowed in node names. To preserve BC for now, the "pdo." prefix is still allowed (and mandated by XSD) in configuration files. In the future, we may just want to do away with the "pdo." prefix.
* Translator has an "enabled" option. If there's no use case for setting "fallback" independently (when "enabled" is false), perhaps "enabled" should be removed entirely and translator should function like profiler currently does.
* Profiler matcher merging might need to be adjusted so multiple configs simply overwrite matcher instead of merging its array keys.
Restructured config format to make processing more straightforward. Important changes that might break existing configs:
* Added "enabled" option for translator (improves multi-format compat)
* Removed hash variation of validation annotations option (only boolean)
* Moved namespace option directly under validation (improves multi-format compat)
The new merge process depends on an internal array of all supported options and their default values, which is used for both validating the config schema and inferring how to merge options (as an added benefit, it helps make the extension self-documenting). Exceptions will now be thrown for merge errors resulting from unrecognized options or invalid types. Since incoming configurations are all merged atop the defaults, many isset() checks were removed. As a rule of thumb, we probably only want to ignore null values when an option would be used to set a parameter.
Also:
* Added missing attributes to symfony-1.0.xsd
* profiler: added only-exceptions attribute
* session: fix types and add pdo attributes
* Create FrameworkExtension tests with PHP/XML/YAML fixtures
* Use "%" syntax instead of calling getParameter() within FrameworkExtension
* Normalize config keys and arrays with helper methods for PHP/XML/YAML compatibility
Earlier changes:
* Remove nonexistent "DependencyInjection/Resources/" path from XmlFileLoaders
* Remove hasDefinition() checks, as register methods should only execute once
* Remove first-run logic from registerTranslatorConfiguration(), as it is only run once
* Removed apparently obsolete clearTags() calls on definitions for non-enabled features
With the form factory there was no reasonable way to implement instantiation of custom form classes. So the implementation was changed to let the classes instantiate themselves. A FormContext instance with default settings has to be passed to the creation method. This context is by default configured in the DI container.
$context = $this->get('form.context');
// or
$context = FormContext::buildDefault();
$form = MyFormClass::create($context, 'author');
If you want to circumvent this process, you can also create a form manually. Remember that the services stored in the default context won't be available then unless you pass them explicitely.
$form = new MyFormClass('author');
