Barman is a tool for generating php classes. It uses zend-code to generate class and Doctrine Annotations to add annotations which mutate class and method generators in needed way.

Barman provides DSL (based on annotations) to describe method execution order and generate unit tests.

Built-in annotations

• Alias - replaces string variables in method scope with Variable Annotations
• Context - defines context class or call context object if used as Step
• Custom - defines call of custom method in contract class
• Error - call method of Context if validation fails
• Inject - replaces string variables with Variable Annotations (placed in Context method Annotation scope)
• Injection - defines injected class or primitive or call injected object if used as Step
• Output - this variable will be returned by method
• Property - use class property as variable
• ServiceObject - call method of object in method scope (i.e. $some_object->someMethod())
• ServiceParent - call method of parent class (i.e. parent::someMethod())
• ServiceProperty - call method of class property (i.e. $this->some_property->someMethod())
• ServiceSelf - call static method of the class (i.e. self::someMethod())
• ServiceStatic - call static method of some class (i.e. SomeClass::someMethod())
• ServiceThis - call method from the class (i.e. $this->someMethod())
• Test - generate unit test for this method

Annotation fields

• Alias
  • name {string} - name of variable in scope
  • variable {Annotation} - object annotation that will replace a variable
• Context (extends Step)
  • name {string} - short name of the context
  • class {string} - fully qualified name of the class
• Custom (extends Step)
• Error (extends Context)
• Inject
  • name {string} - name of argument in Context method
  • variable {Annotation} - object annotation that will replace an argument
• Injection (extends Step)
  • name {string} - short name of the injection
  • type {string} - fully qualified name of the class or primitive type
• Output
• Property
  • name {string} - name of class property
• ServiceObject (extends Step)
  • name {string} - name of object in scope
• ServiceParent (extends Step)
• ServiceProperty (extends Step)
  • name {string} - name of class property
• ServiceSelf (extends Step)
• ServiceStatic (extends Step)
  • name {string} - fully qualified name of the class
• ServiceThis (extends Step)
• Step
  • method {string} - name of method of the called object
  • arguments {array} - arguments passed to method
  • return {string|array} - returned variable names
  • if {string} - step proceeds, if this is true
  • unless {string} - step proceeds, if this is false
• Test

Lifecycle (creating own annotations)

• Generators are set to class annotations.
• onCreate() is called on class annotations.
• Class annotations implemented ClassAnnotationMutator mutate class annotations.
• onMutate() is called on class annotations.
• Generators are set to method annotations.
• onCreate() is called on method annotations.
• Class annotations implemented MethodAnnotationMutator mutate method annotations.
• Method annotations implemented MethodAnnotationMutator mutate method annotations.
• onMutate() is called on method annotations.
• Method annotations implemented StepGeneratorMutator mutate step generators.
• Class annotations implemented StepGeneratorMutator mutate step generators.
• Class annotations implemented MethodGeneratorMutator mutate method generators.
