Annotation syntax

#[Route]
#[Route()]
#[Route("/path", ["get"])]
#[Route(path: "/path", methods: ["get"])]
Copy after login

In fact, the syntax is very similar to the instantiated class, except that the new keyword is missing.

It should be noted that the annotation name cannot be a variable, but can only be a constant or constant expression

//实例化类
$route = new Route(path: "/path", methods: ["get"]);
Copy after login

(path: "/path", methods : ["get"]) is the new syntax of php8. When passing parameters, you can specify the parameter name and do not pass the parameters in the order of the formal parameters.

Annotation class scope

When defining an annotation class, you can use the built-in annotation class#[Attribute] to define the scope of the annotation class, or you can omit it,The scope is automatically defined by PHP dynamically based on usage scenarios.

Annotation scope list:

  • Attribute::TARGET_CLASS
  • Attribute::TARGET_FUNCTION
  • Attribute::TARGET_METHOD
  • Attribute::TARGET_PROPERTY
  • Attribute::TARGET_CLASS_CONSTANT
  • Attribute::TARGET_PARAMETER
  • Attribute::TARGET_ALL
  • Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE
When used, #[Attribute] is equivalent to #[Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_ALL)]. For convenience, the former is generally used.

1~7 are all easy to understand and correspond to classes, functions, class methods, class attributes, class constants, parameters, and everything respectively. The first 6 items can be combined at will using | or operators , such as Attribute::TARGET_CLASS | Attribute::TARGET_FUNCTION. (Attribute::TARGET_ALLcontains the first 6 items, but does not contain Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE).

Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE Set whether the annotation can be repeated, for example:

class IndexController
{
    #[Route('/index')]
    #[Route('/index_alias')]
    public function index()
    {
        echo "hello!world" . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
Copy after login

If Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE is not set, Route Two uses are not allowed.

As mentioned above, if the scope is not specified, PHP will dynamically determine the scope. How to understand? Example:

<?php

class Deprecated
{

}

class NewLogger
{
    public function newLogAction(): void
    {
        //do something
    }

    #[Deprecated(&#39;oldLogAction已废弃,请使用newLogAction代替&#39;)]
    public function oldLogAction(): void 
    {

    }
}

#[Deprecated(&#39;OldLogger已废弃,请使用NewLogger代替&#39;)]
class OldLogger
{

}
Copy after login

The above-mentioned custom annotation classDeprecated does not use the built-in annotation class#[Attribute] to define the scope, so when it modifies the class OldLogger, its scope is dynamically defined as TARGET_CLASS. When it modifies method oldLogAction, its scope is dynamically defined as TARGET_METHOD. In one sentence, where it is modified, its scope will be

It should be noted that after setting the scope, during the compilation phase, in addition to the built-in annotation class #[Attribute], custom annotation classes will not automatically check the scope. Unless you use the newInstance method of the reflection class ReflectionAttribute.

Example:

<?php

#[Attribute]
function foo()
{

}
Copy after login

An error will be reported hereFatal error: Attribute "Attribute" cannot target function (allowed targets: class), because of the role of the built-in annotation class The scope is TARGET_CLASS, which can only be used to modify classes and not functions. Because the scope of the built-in annotation class is only TARGET_CLASS, so cannot be modified repeatedly.

The scope of custom annotation classes will not be checked at compile time.

<?php 

#[Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_CLASS)]
class A1
{

}

#[A1] 
function foo() {}
Copy after login

This way no error will be reported. So what’s the point of defining scope? Let’s look at a comprehensive example.

<?php 

#[Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_METHOD | Attribute::TARGET_FUNCTION | Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE)]
class Route
{
    protected $handler;

    public function __construct(
        public string $path = &#39;&#39;,
        public array $methods = []
    ) {}

    public function setHandler($handler): self
    {
        $this->handler = $handler;
        return $this;
    }

    public function run()
    {
        call_user_func([new $this->handler->class, $this->handler->name]);
    }
}

class IndexController
{
    #[Route(path: "/index_alias", methods: ["get"])]
    #[Route(path: "/index", methods: ["get"])]
    public function index(): void
    {
        echo "hello!world" . PHP_EOL;
    }

    #[Route("/test")]
    public function test(): void 
    {
        echo "test" . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

class CLIRouter
{
    protected static array $routes = [];

    public static function setRoutes(array $routes): void
    {
        self::$routes = $routes;
    }

    public static function match($path)
    {
        foreach (self::$routes as $route) {
            if ($route->path == $path) {
                return $route;
            }
        }

        die('404' . PHP_EOL);
    }
}

$controller = new ReflectionClass(IndexController::class);
$methods = $controller->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC);

$routes = [];
foreach ($methods as $method) {
    $attributes = $method->getAttributes(Route::class);

    foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
        $routes[] = $attribute->newInstance()->setHandler($method);
    }
}

CLIRouter::setRoutes($routes);
CLIRouter::match($argv[1])->run();
Copy after login
php test.php /index
php test.php /index_alias
php test.php /test
Copy after login

The defined scope will only take effect when using newInstance. It is checked whether the scope defined by the annotation class is consistent with the actual modified scope. Other scenarios are not tested.

Annotation namespace

<?php

namespace {
    function dump_attributes($attributes) {
        $arr = [];
        foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
            $arr[] = [&#39;name&#39; => $attribute->getName(), 'args' => $attribute->getArguments()];
        }
        var_dump($arr);
    }
}

namespace Doctrine\ORM\Mapping {
    class Entity {
    }
}

namespace Doctrine\ORM\Attributes {
    class Table {
    }
}

namespace Foo {
    use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity;
    use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
    use Doctrine\ORM\Attributes;

    #[Entity("imported class")]
    #[ORM\Entity("imported namespace")]
    #[\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity("absolute from namespace")]
    #[\Entity("import absolute from global")]
    #[Attributes\Table()]
    function foo() {
    }
}

namespace {
    class Entity {}

    dump_attributes((new ReflectionFunction('Foo\foo'))->getAttributes());
}

//输出:

array(5) {
  [0]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(27) "Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(14) "imported class"
    }
  }
  [1]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(27) "Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(18) "imported namespace"
    }
  }
  [2]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(27) "Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(23) "absolute from namespace"
    }
  }
  [3]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(6) "Entity"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(27) "import absolute from global"
    }
  }
  [4]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(29) "Doctrine\ORM\Attributes\Table"
    ["args"]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}

is consistent with the namespace of ordinary classes.

Some other issues to pay attention to

  • You cannot use the unpack syntax in the annotation class parameter list.
<?php

class IndexController
{
    #[Route(...["/index", ["get"]])]
    public function index()
    {

    }
}
Copy after login

Although the lexical parsing stage is passed, an error will be thrown during the compilation stage.

  • You can wrap lines when using annotations
<?php 

class IndexController
{
    #[Route(
        "/index",
        ["get"]
    )]
    public function index()
    {

    }
}
Copy after login
  • Annotations can be used in groups
<?php

class IndexController
{
    #[Route(
        "/index",
        ["get"]
    ), Other, Another]
    public function index()
    {

    }
}
Copy after login
  • Inheritance of annotations

Annotations can be inherited or overridden.

<?php

class C1
{
    #[A1]
    public function foo() { }
}

class C2 extends C1
{
    public function foo() { }
}

class C3 extends C1
{
    #[A1]
    public function bar() { }
}

$ref = new \ReflectionClass(C1::class);
print_r(array_map(fn ($a) => $a->getName(), $ref->getMethod('foo')->getAttributes()));

$ref = new \ReflectionClass(C2::class);
print_r(array_map(fn ($a) => $a->getName(), $ref->getMethod('foo')->getAttributes()));

$ref = new \ReflectionClass(C3::class);
print_r(array_map(fn ($a) => $a->getName(), $ref->getMethod('foo')->getAttributes()));
Copy after login

C3 inherits the foo method of C1 and also inherits the annotations of foo. And C2 covers the foo method of C1, so the annotation does not exist.

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
