Class Converter

Description

Base class for all output converters.

The Converter marks the final stage in phpDocumentor. phpDocumentor works in this order:

Parsing => Intermediate Parsing organization => Conversion to output

A Converter takes output from the phpDocumentor_IntermediateParser and converts it to output. With version 1.2, phpDocumentor includes a variety of output converters:

{@ and using walk() or walk_everything (depending on the value of $sort_absolutely_everything) it "walks" over an array of phpDocumentor elements.}}

Variables
array $all_packages (line 366)

All packages encountered in parsing

string|false $class = false (line 105)

set to a classname if currently parsing a class, false if not


Redefined in descendants as:
Classes $classes (line 319)

All class information, organized by path, and by package

array $class_contents = array() (line 269)

alphabetical index of all methods and vars in a class by package/subpackage

The class itself has a link under ###main

Smarty $class_data (line 165)

template for the class currently being processed


Redefined in descendants as:
array $class_elements = array() (line 208)

alphabetized index of classes by package

mixed $curfile (line 313)

full path of the current file being converted

parserPage $curpage (line 171)

current procedural page being processed

array $define_elements = array() (line 201)

alphabetized index of defines by package

array $elements = array() (line 187)

alphabetical index of all elements

array $function_elements = array() (line 222)

alphabetized index of functions by package

array $global_elements = array() (line 215)

alphabetized index of global variables by package

boolean $highlightingSource = false (line 325)

Flag used to help converters determine whether to do special source highlighting

array $leftindex = array('classes' => true, 'pages' => true, 'functions' => true, 'defines' => true, 'globals' => true) (line 384)

Controls which of the one-element-only indexes are generated.

Generation of these indexes for large packages is time-consuming. This is an optimization feature. An example of how to use this is in HTMLframesConverter::$leftindex, and in HTMLframesConverter::formatLeftIndex(). These indexes are intended for use as navigational aids through documentation, but can be used for anything by converters.


Redefined in descendants as:
string $outputformat = 'Generic' (line 90)

output format of this converter

in Child converters, this will match the first part of the -o command-line as in -o HTML:frames:default "HTML"


Redefined in descendants as:
string $package = 'default' (line 95)

package name currently being converted

array $packagecategories (line 359)

Packages associated with categories

Used by the XML:DocBook/peardoc2 converter, and available to others, to group many packages into categories

array $package_elements = array() (line 180)

alphabetical index of all elements sorted by package, subpackage, page, and class.

  • var: Format: array(package => array(subpackage => array('page'|'class' => array(path|classname => array(element, element,...)))))
  • uses: Converter::$sort_absolutely_everything - if true, then $package_elements is used, otherwise, the ParserData::$classelements and ParserData::$pageelements variables are used
mixed $package_output (line 141)

set to value of -po commandline

array $package_parents (line 349)

Hierarchy of packages

Every package that contains classes may have parent or child classes in other packages. In other words, this code is legal:

  1.  /**
  2.   * @package one
  3.   * /
  4.  class one {}
  5.  
  6.  /**
  7.   * @package two
  8.   * /
  9.  class two extends one {}

In this case, package one is a parent of package two

controls display of progress information while parsing.

defaults to false. Set to true for cron jobs or other situations where no visual output is necessary

string $smarty_dir = '' (line 301)

Directory that the smarty templates are in


Redefined in descendants as:
mixed $sort_absolutely_everything = false (line 251)

This is used if the content must be passed in the order it should be read, i.e. by package, procedural then classes

This fixes bug 637921, and is used by PDFdefaultConverter

  • usedby: Converter::$package_elements - if true, then $package_elements is used, otherwise, the ParserData::$classelements and ParserData::$pageelements variables are used

Redefined in descendants as:
boolean $sort_page_contents_by_type = false (line 245)

This determines whether the $page_contents array should be sorted by element type as well as alphabetically by name


Redefined in descendants as:

If it finds it, it will return a link to the file's documentation. As of 1.2.0rc1, phpDocumentor is smarty enough to find these cases:

  • absolute path to file
  • ./file.ext or ../file.ext
  • relpath/to/file.ext if relpath is a subdirectory of the base parse directory
For examples, see Setup.inc.php includes. Every include auto-links to the documentation for the file that is included

getLink (line 3565)

The meat of the @see tag and inline {@link} tag

$expr is a string with many allowable formats:

  1. proceduralpagename.ext
  2. constant_name
  3. classname::function()
  4. classname::constantname
  5. classname::$variablename
  6. classname
  7. object classname
  8. function functionname()
  9. global $globalvarname
  10. packagename#expr where expr is any of the above

New in version 1.1, you can explicitly specify a package to link to that is different from the current package. Use the # operator to specify a new package, as in tests#bug-540368.php (which should appear as a link like: "bug-540368.php"). This example links to the procedural page bug-540368.php in package tests. Also, the "function" operator is now used to specifically link to a function instead of a method in the current class.

  1.  class myclass
  2.  {
  3.   // from inside the class definition, use "function conflict()" to refer to procedural function "conflict()"
  4.     function conflict()
  5.     {
  6.     }
  7.  }
  8.  
  9.  function conflict()
  10.  {
  11.  }

If classname:: is not present, and the see tag is in a documentation block within a class, then the function uses the classname to search for $expr as a function or variable within classname, or any of its parent classes. given an $expr without '$', '::' or '()' getLink first searches for classes, procedural pages, constants, global variables, and then searches for methods and variables within the default class, and finally for any function

mixed &getLink (string $expr, [string $package = false], [array $packages = false])

getSortedClassTreeFromClass (line 2954)

Return a tree of all classes that extend this class

The data structure returned is designed for a non-recursive algorithm, and is somewhat complex. In most cases, the array returned is:

 array('#root' =>
         array('link' => classLink to $class,
               'parent' => false,
               'children' => array(array('class' => 'childclass1',
                                         'package' => 'child1package'),
                                    array('class' => 'childclass2',
                                         'package' => 'child2package'),...
                                  )
               ),
       'child1package#childclass1' =>
         array('link' => classLink to childclass1,
               'parent' => '#root',
               'children' => array(array('class' => 'kidclass',
                                         'package' => 'kidpackage'),...
                                  )
              ),
       'kidpackage#kidclass' =>
         array('link' => classLink to kidclass,
               'parent' => 'child1package#childclass1',
               'children' => array() // no children
              ),
      ....
      )

To describe this format using language, every class in the tree has an entry in the first level of the array. The index for all child classes that extend the root class is childpackage#childclassname. Each entry in the array has 3 elements: link, parent, and children.

  • link - a classLink to the current class
  • parent - a classLink to the class's parent, or false (except for one special case described below)
  • children - an array of arrays, each entry has a 'class' and 'package' index to the child class, used to find the entry in the big array

special cases are when the #root class has a parent in another package, or when the #root class extends a class not found by phpDocumentor. In the first case, parent will be a classLink to the parent class. In the second, parent will be the extends clause, as in:

  1.  class extends Y
  2.  {
  3.  ...
  4.  }
in this case, the #root entry will be array('link' => classLink to X, 'parent' => 'Y', children => array(...))

The fastest way to design a method to process the array returned is to copy HTMLframesConverter::getRootTree() into your converter and to modify the html to whatever output format you are going to use

getTutorialLink (line 3417)

The meat of the @tutorial tag and inline {@tutorial} tag

Take a string and return an abstract link to the tutorial it represents. Since tutorial naming literally works like the underlying filesystem, the way to reference the tutorial is similar. Tutorials are located in a subdirectory of any directory parsed, which is named 'tutorials/' (we try to make things simple when we can :). They are further organized by package and subpackage as:

tutorials/package/subpackage

and the files are named *.cls, *.pkg, or *.proc, and so a link to a tutorial named file.cls can be referenced (depending on context) as any of:

  1.  * @tutorial package/subpackage/file.cls
  2.  * @tutorial package/file.cls
  3.  * @tutorial file.cls

The first case will only be needed if file.cls exists in both the current package, in anotherpackage/file.cls and in anotherpackage/subpackage/file.cls and you wish to reference the one in anotherpackage/subpackage. The second case is only needed if you wish to reference file.cls in another package and it is unique in that package. the third will link to the first file.cls it finds using this search method:

  1. current package/subpackage
  2. all other subpackages of current package
  3. parent package, if this package has classes that extend classes in another package
  4. all other packages

called by phpDocumentor_IntermediateParser::Convert() to traverse the array of pages and their elements, converting them to the output format

The walk() method should be flexible enough such that it never needs modification. walk() sets up all of the indexes, and sorts everything in logical alphabetical order. It then passes each element individually to Convert(), which then passes to the Convert*() methods. A child Converter need not override any of these unless special functionality must be added. see Converter Default Template Variables for details. {@ and the left indexes specified by $leftindexes, and then sorts them by calling sortIndexes().

Next, it converts all README/CHANGELOG/INSTALL-style files, using Convert_RIC.

After this, it passes all package-level docs to Convert(). Then, it calls the index sorting functions formatPkgIndex(), formatIndex() and formatLeftIndex().

Finally, it converts each procedural page in alphabetical order. This stage passes elements from the physical file to Convert() in alphabetical order. First, procedural page elements parserDefine, parserInclude parserGlobal, and parserFunction are passed to Convert().

Then, class elements are passed in this order: parserClass, then all of the parserVars in the class and all of the parserMethods in the class. Classes are in alphabetical order, and both vars and methods are in alphabetical order.

Finally, ConvertErrorLog() is called and the data walk is complete.}}
