Because +not all docblock annotations are used for metadata purposes a filter is +applied to ignore or skip classes that are not Doctrine annotations. + +Take a look at the following code snippet: + +.. code-block:: php + + namespace MyProject\Entities; + + use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping AS ORM; + use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints AS Assert; + + /** + * @author Benjamin Eberlei + * @ORM\Entity + * @MyProject\Annotations\Foobarable + */ + class User + { + /** + * @ORM\Id @ORM\Column @ORM\GeneratedValue + * @dummy + * @var int + */ + private $id; + + /** + * @ORM\Column(type="string") + * @Assert\NotEmpty + * @Assert\Email + * @var string + */ + private $email; + } + +In this snippet you can see a variety of different docblock annotations: + +- Documentation annotations such as ``@var`` and ``@author``. These + annotations are ignored and never considered for throwing an + exception due to wrongly used annotations. +- Annotations imported through use statements. The statement ``use + Doctrine\ORM\Mapping AS ORM`` makes all classes under that namespace + available as ``@ORM\ClassName``. Same goes for the import of + ``@Assert``. +- The ``@dummy`` annotation. It is not a documentation annotation and + not ignored. For Doctrine Annotations it is not entirely clear how + to handle this annotation. Depending on the configuration an exception + (unknown annotation) will be thrown when parsing this annotation. +- The fully qualified annotation ``@MyProject\Annotations\Foobarable``. + This is transformed directly into the given class name. + +How are these annotations loaded? From looking at the code you could +guess that the ORM Mapping, Assert Validation and the fully qualified +annotation can just be loaded using +the defined PHP autoloaders. This is not the case however: For error +handling reasons every check for class existence inside the +``AnnotationReader`` sets the second parameter $autoload +of ``class_exists($name, $autoload)`` to false. To work flawlessly the +``AnnotationReader`` requires silent autoloaders which many autoloaders are +not. Silent autoloading is NOT part of the `PSR-0 specification +<https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md>`_ +for autoloading. + +This is why Doctrine Annotations uses its own autoloading mechanism +through a global registry. If you are wondering about the annotation +registry being global, there is no other way to solve the architectural +problems of autoloading annotation classes in a straightforward fashion. +Additionally if you think about PHP autoloading then you recognize it is +a global as well. + +To anticipate the configuration section, making the above PHP class work +with Doctrine Annotations requires this setup: + +.. code-block:: php + + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader; + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry; + + AnnotationRegistry::registerFile("/path/to/doctrine/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/Driver/DoctrineAnnotations.php"); + AnnotationRegistry::registerAutoloadNamespace("Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint", "/path/to/symfony/src"); + AnnotationRegistry::registerAutoloadNamespace("MyProject\Annotations", "/path/to/myproject/src"); + + $reader = new AnnotationReader(); + AnnotationReader::addGlobalIgnoredName('dummy'); + +The second block with the annotation registry calls registers all the +three different annotation namespaces that are used. +Doctrine Annotations saves all its annotations in a single file, that is +why ``AnnotationRegistry#registerFile`` is used in contrast to +``AnnotationRegistry#registerAutoloadNamespace`` which creates a PSR-0 +compatible loading mechanism for class to file names. + +In the third block, we create the actual ``AnnotationReader`` instance. +Note that we also add ``dummy`` to the global list of ignored +annotations for which we do not throw exceptions. Setting this is +necessary in our example case, otherwise ``@dummy`` would trigger an +exception to be thrown during the parsing of the docblock of +``MyProject\Entities\User#id``. + +Setup and Configuration +----------------------- + +To use the annotations library is simple, you just need to create a new +``AnnotationReader`` instance: + +.. code-block:: php + + $reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader(); + +This creates a simple annotation reader with no caching other than in +memory (in php arrays). Since parsing docblocks can be expensive you +should cache this process by using a caching reader. + +You can use a file caching reader, but please note it is deprecated to +do so: + +.. code-block:: php + + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\FileCacheReader; + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader; + + $reader = new FileCacheReader( + new AnnotationReader(), + "/path/to/cache", + $debug = true + ); + +If you set the ``debug`` flag to ``true`` the cache reader will check +for changes in the original files, which is very important during +development. If you don't set it to ``true`` you have to delete the +directory to clear the cache. This gives faster performance, however +should only be used in production, because of its inconvenience during +development. + +You can also use one of the ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache`` cache +implementations to cache the annotations: + +.. code-block:: php + + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader; + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\CachedReader; + use Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache; + + $reader = new CachedReader( + new AnnotationReader(), + new ApcCache(), + $debug = true + ); + +The ``debug`` flag is used here as well to invalidate the cache files +when the PHP class with annotations changed and should be used during +development. + +.. warning :: + + The ``AnnotationReader`` works and caches under the + assumption that all annotations of a doc-block are processed at + once. That means that annotation classes that do not exist and + aren't loaded and cannot be autoloaded (using the + AnnotationRegistry) would never be visible and not accessible if a + cache is used unless the cache is cleared and the annotations + requested again, this time with all annotations defined. + +By default the annotation reader returns a list of annotations with +numeric indexes. If you want your annotations to be indexed by their +class name you can wrap the reader in an ``IndexedReader``: + +.. code-block:: php + + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader; + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\IndexedReader; + + $reader = new IndexedReader(new AnnotationReader()); + +.. warning:: + + You should never wrap the indexed reader inside a cached reader, + only the other way around. This way you can re-use the cache with + indexed or numeric keys, otherwise your code may experience failures + due to caching in a numerical or indexed format. + +Registering Annotations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +As explained in the introduction, Doctrine Annotations uses its own +autoloading mechanism to determine if a given annotation has a +corresponding PHP class that can be autoloaded. For annotation +autoloading you have to configure the +``Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry``. There are three +different mechanisms to configure annotation autoloading: + +- Calling ``AnnotationRegistry#registerFile($file)`` to register a file + that contains one or more annotation classes. +- Calling ``AnnotationRegistry#registerNamespace($namespace, $dirs = + null)`` to register that the given namespace contains annotations and + that their base directory is located at the given $dirs or in the + include path if ``NULL`` is passed. The given directories should *NOT* + be the directory where classes of the namespace are in, but the base + directory of the root namespace. The AnnotationRegistry uses a + namespace to directory separator approach to resolve the correct path. +- Calling ``AnnotationRegistry#registerLoader($callable)`` to register + an autoloader callback. The callback accepts the class as first and + only parameter and has to return ``true`` if the corresponding file + was found and included. + +.. note:: + + Loaders have to fail silently, if a class is not found even if it + matches for example the namespace prefix of that loader. Never is a + loader to throw a warning or exception if the loading failed + otherwise parsing doc block annotations will become a huge pain. + +A sample loader callback could look like: + +.. code-block:: php + + use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry; + use Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\UniversalClassLoader; + + AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(function($class) { + $file = str_replace("\\", DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class) . ".php"; + + if (file_exists("/my/base/path/" . $file)) { + // file_exists() makes sure that the loader fails silently + require "/my/base/path/" . $file; + } + }); + + $loader = new UniversalClassLoader(); + AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, "loadClass")); + + +Ignoring missing exceptions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By default an exception is thrown from the ``AnnotationReader`` if an +annotation was found that: + +- is not part of the list of ignored "documentation annotations"; +- was not imported through a use statement; +- is not a fully qualified class that exists. + +You can disable this behavior for specific names if your docblocks do +not follow strict requirements: + +.. code-block:: php + + $reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader(); + AnnotationReader::addGlobalIgnoredName('foo'); + +PHP Imports +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By default the annotation reader parses the use-statement of a php file +to gain access to the import rules and register them for the annotation +processing. Only if you are using PHP Imports can you validate the +correct usage of annotations and throw exceptions if you misspelled an +annotation. This mechanism is enabled by default. + +To ease the upgrade path, we still allow you to disable this mechanism. +Note however that we will remove this in future versions: + +.. code-block:: php + + $reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader(); + $reader->setEnabledPhpImports(false); |
