SilverStripe Model Annotations Task

This module adds a dev task which generates annotations for your data object models. The problem is if you are working a lot with silver stripe models you will learn that no IDE can handle the DB fields as properties and/or collections as methods. So i made this task which completes my models with annotations from existing configs of the model itself and all extensions of it. Configs handled: db, has_one, has_many, many_many, many_many(through), belongs_to, belongs_many_many.

Requirements

• PHP-AST extension
• PHP-BCMATH extension
• SilverStripe ^4.10

Installation

composer require --dev csoellinger/silverstripe-model-annotations-task

Optional params

• dryRun=0/1
• quiet=0/1
• createBackupFile=0/1
• addUseStatements=0/1

Take a look at options section below to get more information about the params.

Options

All optional params from above can be set as silverstripe config at the ModelAnnotationsTask. Only difference is that the config is set as boolean var and not as integer. By default dryRun is set to true. If you want write the files with this task you need to set the config or set the param to false.

dryRun (default: true)

Only print the changes inside your browser or terminal and don't write any file.

quiet (default: false)

No output.

createBackupFile (default: false)

Create a backup file before writing the model. Only if dryRun is false.

addUseStatements (default: false)

Collect data types which are not declared as use statement and add them to the file. If this config is true it also shortens the data types.

Example

Here you see a small example how it will look your model file after using the task.

Your Input

class Player extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Name' => 'Varchar(255)',
    ];
    private static $has_many = [
        'Jobs' => 'Job',
    ];
}

Task would write this file:

/**
 * @property string $Name Name...
 *
 * @method HasManyList Jobs() Get jobs
 */
class Player extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Name' => 'Varchar(255)',
    ];
    private static $has_many = [
        'Jobs' => 'Job',
    ];
}
