milo / alias-expander example snippets

# An ordinary 'use' usage in namespaced code. But how to expand the alias to full class name?
use Other\Lib as OL;

# in PHP 5.5+
echo OL::class;  // 'Other\Lib'

# in PHP 5.3+
echo Alias::expand('OL');  // 'Other\Lib'


# If the static call is too long for you, wrap it in own function. It will be easy to replace
# when upgrade to PHP 5.5.
function aliasFqn($alias) {
	return \Milo\Alias::expand($alias, 1);
}


# Due to performance, it is good to set writable directory for caching.
Alias::getExpander()->setCacheDir('/path/to/tmp');


# If you want to be strict and ensure that alias expands only to defined class name,
# set exists checking. This is a debugging advantage against to ::class in PHP 5.5.
Alias::getExpander()->setExistsCheck(TRUE);
# or
Alias::getExpander()->setExistsCheck(E_USER_WARNING);


# Expanding an alias in explicitly specified file and line context is useful
# for annotations processing.
$method = new ReflectionMethod($object, 'method');
Alias::expandExplicit('NS\Alias', $method->getFileName(), $method->getStartLine());


# The Milo\Alias class is only a static wrapper for the Milo\AliasExpander object.
# You can use a non-static variation in the same way.
$expander = new Milo\AliasExpander;
$expander->expand('OL');
$expander->expandExplicit('OL', $file, $line);
$expander->setCacheDir('/path/to/tmp');

$storage = new Nette\Caching\Storages\FileStorage('/path/to/tmp');
$expander = new Milo\Nette\AliasExpander($storage);
