Upgrade Documentation

This document serves as a reference to upgrade your current BetterReflection installation if improvements, deprecations or backwards compatibility (BC) breakages occur.

4.0.0

BC Breaks

• The following classes no longer implement \Reflector. If you need something that implements \Reflector, you should wrap the BetterReflection in the appropriate \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Adapter\* class.
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionClass
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionClassConstant
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionConstant
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionFunctionAbstract
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionFunction
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionMethod
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionObject
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter
  • \Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionProperty
• The $stubber parameter of Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\EvaledCodeSourceLocator and Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\PhpInternalSourceLocator constructors is now required.

3.0.0

BC breaks

• Method Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionType::createFromType() has been removed, use Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionType::createFromTypeAndReflector() instead.
• Method Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Adapter\ReflectionClass#getProperty() throws an exception when a property does not exist (to be compatible with core reflection).
• Method Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Adapter\ReflectionObject#getProperty() throws an exception when a property does not exist (to be compatible with core reflection).

2.0.0

Namespace change

The base namespace of the library changed from BetterReflection to Roave\BetterReflection. You may search for usages of the previous namespace with following regular expressions:

• /\s*use\s+(\\)?BetterReflection/
• /[^A-Za-z0-9]+(\\)?BetterReflection/

The found imports should be replaced with Roave\BetterReflection imports.

PHP Version requirement raised to PHP 7.1.* and PHP 7.2.*

Due to the complexity of maintaining compatibility with multiple PHP runtime environments and reflection API changes, the library now only supports PHP 7.1.x and PHP 7.2.x

Source locators now require additional dependencies

Due to major design and performance improvements, many of the existing Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\SourceLocator implementations now require you to pass in more parameters.

Following classes have a changed constructor signature:

• Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\AbstractSourceLocator
• Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\AutoloadSourceLocator

In order to comply with the new constructor signatures, you can use the newly introduced Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel object:

<?php

use Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader;
use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\AutoloadSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\ClosureSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\ComposerSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\DirectoriesSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\EvaledCodeSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\FileIteratorSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\PhpInternalSourceLocator;
use Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\SingleFileSourceLocator;

$betterReflection = new BetterReflection();
$astLocator       = $betterReflection->astLocator();

new AutoloadSourceLocator($astLocator);
new ClosureSourceLocator(function () {}, $betterReflection->phpParser());
new ComposerSourceLocator(new ClassLoader(), $astLocator);
new DirectoriesSourceLocator([__DIR__], $astLocator);
new EvaledCodeSourceLocator($astLocator);
new FileIteratorSourceLocator(new \FilesystemIterator(__DIR__), $astLocator);
new PhpInternalSourceLocator($astLocator);
new SingleFileSourceLocator(__FILE__, $astLocator);

Classes that you may have implemented and that extend Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\AbstractSourceLocator also need to adapt to the parent constructor signature.

BetterReflection\Reflection\Exception\NotAString removed

The BetterReflection\Reflection\Exception\NotAString exception was removed, as we now rely on PHP 7's declare(strict_types=1)

Roave\BetterReflection\Util\FindReflectionOnLine constructor changed

Roave\BetterReflection\Util\FindReflectionOnLine now requires additional parameters. It is advisable to use the Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel to get an instance of this class instead:

<?php

use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;

$findReflectionOnLine = (new BetterReflection())->findReflectionsOnLine();

Roave\BetterReflection\Identifier\Identifier constructor changed

Roave\BetterReflection\Identifier\Identifier::__construct() now requires the $name parameter to be a string.

A BetterReflection\Reflection\Exception\NotAString will no longer be thrown, while you will get a TypeError instead, should you not comply with this signature at call time.

Roave\BetterReflection\NodeCompiler constructor changed

The internal Roave\BetterReflection\NodeCompiler class now requires a second mandatory constructor argument.

Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\Reflector#reflect() interface changed

The Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\Reflector#reflect() now requires a string argument for $identifierName. You will need to change your own implementations of the interface.

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#getDefaultValueAsString() removed

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#getDefaultValueAsString() was removed. This method was providing some sort of serialization of internal reflection data, and it opens possibilities for security issues if mishandled.

The equivalent replacement is to manually call var_export($value, true) instead, assuming that you know its intended usage context:

<?php

use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;

function myFunction($myParameter = 'default value') {
    // ...
}

$defaultValue = (new BetterReflection())
    ->functionReflector()
    ->reflect('myFunction')
    ->getParameter('myParameter')
    ->getDefaultValue();

echo var_export($defaultValue, true);

BetterReflection\TypesFinder\FindTypeFromAst was removed

The BetterReflection\TypesFinder\FindTypeFromAst utility was removed, as all AST nodes used by BetterReflection are now processed through a PhpParser\NodeVisitor\NameResolver visitor, which guarantees that the FQCN of the symbol is always available.

This change also allowed for massive performance improvement, as fewer repeated parsing operations have to be performed in order to discover node types.

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#getTypeHint() was removed

The BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#getTypeHint() was dropped, favoring just BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#getType() instead.

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#setType() now requires a string

The BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter#setType() method now requires a string argument to be passed to it. The type will be detected from the given string.

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionType now works with string type definitions

The BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionType object used to work with phpDocumentor implementation details, but is now fully independent and only relying on string type definitions. Therefore:

• ReflectionType::getTypeObject() was removed
• ReflectionType::createFromType() now requires a string for the $type parameter

BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionFunctionAbstract#setReturnType() now requires a string

The BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionFunctionAbstract#setReturnType() method now requires a string argument to be passed to it. The type will be detected from the given string.

Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Reflection\SourceStubber now works with core ReflectionClass

The Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Reflection\SourceStubber is now capable of working with just ReflectionClass instances from PHP core: it is no longer required to use Zend\Code instances, but the type hints also changed accordingly.

Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\ClassReflector::buildDefaultReflector() dropped

Since the Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel was introduced, Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\ClassReflector::buildDefaultReflector() was removed. The equivalent API is following:

<?php

use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;

$reflector = (new BetterReflection())->classReflector();

Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Exception\PropertyNotPublic dropped

The Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Exception\PropertyNotPublic was thrown when a non-accessible reflection property is being read or written to. Since this is "better" reflection, there is no need for calling anything like setAccessible on a Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionProperty instance. All properties are directly accessible, even if private, protected or dynamically defined.

Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\FunctionReflector constructor changed

The constructor of Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\FunctionReflector changed in its required parameters. For generic BetterReflection usage, it is advisable to obtain a Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\FunctionReflector from the Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel:

<?php

use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;

$reflector = (new BetterReflection())->functionReflector();

Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Ast\Locator constructor changed

The constructor of Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Ast\Locator changed in its required parameters. For generic BetterReflection usage, it is advisable to obtain a Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Ast\Locator from the Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel:

<?php

use Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection;
$astLocator = (new BetterReflection())->astLocator();

Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\Reflection*::createFromNode() changes

Due to performance and type introspection requirements, the following methods changed their signature completely:

• Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionMethod::createFromNode()
• Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionParameter::createFromNode()
• Roave\BetterReflection\Reflection\ReflectionProperty::createFromNode()

It is advisable to not call these methods directly, as they are likely to change in future as well. Instead, please use a corresponding Roave\BetterReflection\Reflector\Reflector object to instantiate them.

Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Located\InternalLocatedSource constructor changed

In order to aid in detecting the source of a located internal class or function, the Roave\BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Located\InternalLocatedSource now has an additional mandatory $extensionName parameter.
