AST builders
============
When PHP-Parser is used to generate (or modify) code by first creating an Abstract Syntax Tree and
then using the [pretty printer](Pretty_printing.markdown) to convert it to PHP code, it can often
be tedious to manually construct AST nodes. The project provides a number of utilities to simplify
the construction of common AST nodes.
Fluent builders
---------------
The library comes with a number of builders, which allow creating node trees using a fluent
interface. Builders are created using the `BuilderFactory` and the final constructed node is
accessed through `getNode()`. Fluent builders are available for
the following syntactic elements:
* namespaces and use statements
* classes, interfaces, traits and enums
* methods, functions and parameters
* properties, class constants and enum cases
* trait uses and trait use adaptations
Here is an example:
```php
use PhpParser\BuilderFactory;
use PhpParser\PrettyPrinter;
use PhpParser\Node;
$factory = new BuilderFactory;
$node = $factory->namespace('Name\Space')
->addStmt($factory->use('Some\Other\Thingy')->as('SomeClass'))
->addStmt($factory->useFunction('strlen'))
->addStmt($factory->useConst('PHP_VERSION'))
->addStmt($factory->class('SomeOtherClass')
->extend('SomeClass')
->implement('A\Few', '\Interfaces')
->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
->addStmt($factory->useTrait('FirstTrait'))
->addStmt($factory->useTrait('SecondTrait', 'ThirdTrait')
->and('AnotherTrait')
->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('foo')->as('bar'))
->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('AnotherTrait', 'baz')->as('test'))
->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('AnotherTrait', 'func')->insteadof('SecondTrait')))
->addStmt($factory->method('someMethod')
->makePublic()
->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
->setReturnType('bool') // ->makeReturnByRef()
->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setType('SomeClass'))
->setDocComment('/**
* This method does something.
*
* @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
*/')
)
->addStmt($factory->method('anotherMethod')
->makeProtected() // ->makePublic() [default], ->makePrivate()
->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setDefault('test'))
// it is possible to add manually created nodes
->addStmt(new Node\Expr\Print_(new Node\Expr\Variable('someParam')))
)
// properties will be correctly reordered above the methods
->addStmt($factory->property('someProperty')->makeProtected())
->addStmt($factory->property('anotherProperty')->makePrivate()->setDefault(array(1, 2, 3)))
)
->getNode()
;
$stmts = array($node);
$prettyPrinter = new PrettyPrinter\Standard();
echo $prettyPrinter->prettyPrintFile($stmts);
```
This will produce the following output with the standard pretty printer:
```php
<?php
namespace Name\Space;
use Some\Other\Thingy as SomeClass;
use function strlen;
use const PHP_VERSION;
abstract class SomeOtherClass extends SomeClass implements A\Few, \Interfaces
{
use FirstTrait;
use SecondTrait, ThirdTrait, AnotherTrait {
foo as bar;
AnotherTrait::baz as test;
AnotherTrait::func insteadof SecondTrait;
}
protected $someProperty;
private $anotherProperty = [1, 2, 3];
/**
* This method does something.
*
* @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
*/
abstract public function someMethod(SomeClass $someParam): bool;
protected function anotherMethod($someParam = 'test')
{
print $someParam;
}
}
```
Additional helper methods
-------------------------
The `BuilderFactory` also provides a number of additional helper methods, which directly return
nodes. The following methods are currently available:
* `val($value)`: Creates an AST node for a literal value like `42` or `[1, 2, 3]`.
* `var($name)`: Creates variable node.
* `args(array $args)`: Creates an array of function/method arguments, including the required `Arg`
wrappers. Also converts literals to AST nodes.
* `funcCall($name, array $args = [])`: Create a function call node. Converts `$name` to a `Name`
node and normalizes arguments.
* `methodCall(Expr $var, $name, array $args = [])`: Create a method call node. Converts `$name` to
an `Identifier` node and normalizes arguments.
* `staticCall($class, $name, array $args = [])`: Create a static method call node. Converts
`$class` to a `Name` node, `$name` to an `Identifier` node and normalizes arguments.
* `new($class, array $args = [])`: Create a "new" (object creation) node. Converts `$class` to a
`Name` node.
* `constFetch($name)`: Create a constant fetch node. Converts `$name` to a `Name` node.
* `classConstFetch($class, $name)`: Create a class constant fetch node. Converts `$class` to a
`Name` node and `$name` to an `Identifier` node.
* `propertyFetch($var, $name)`: Creates a property fetch node. Converts `$name` to an `Identifier`
node.
* `concat(...$exprs)`: Create a tree of `BinaryOp\Concat` nodes for the given expressions.
* `attribute($name, $args)`: Create a `Attribute` node. Converts `$name` to a `Name` node and
normalizes arguments.
These methods may be expanded on an as-needed basis. Please open an issue or PR if a common
operation is missing.
