Annotations for Zend Framework.

This module provides "configuration via annotation" support for Zend Framework. Out of the box it allows to define routes, service and all the ServiceManager-based implementations (as controllers, view helpers, etc).
The goal of this project is to get rid of large configuration arrays in application configs.

Requirements

  • PHP >= 7.0.0

Please, note

  1. if you want to use Zend libraries from Zend Framework 2, use ~1.0 versions. Branch ~2.0 supports future versions of Zend Framework and may not be compatible with ZF 1.

  2. Since version 2.3 the module does not use zendframework/zend-code as a backend and use doctrine/annotations directly. See doctrine documentation for more details and options.

Deprecations

  1. Config option "annotations" deprecated in favor of "namespaces".

Installation

Require via composer
composer require alex-oleshkevich/zf-annotations
Enable it in application.config.php
return array(
    'modules' => array(
        // other modules
        'ZfAnnotation'
    ),
    // other content
);

Configuration:

array(
    'zf_annotation' => array(
        // in which modules to search annotated classes
        'scan_modules' => array(),

        // DEPRECATED AND REMOVED IN 2.3
        // here listed all annotations supported by the module
        // add your own here
        'annotations' => array(
            'ZfAnnotation\Annotation\Route',
            // ...
        ),
        
        /*
         * IMPORTANT NOTE:
         * The given directories should NOT be the directory where classes of the namespace are in, 
         * but the base directory of the root namespace. The AnnotationRegistry uses a namespace to directory separator
         * approach to resolve the correct path.
         */
        'namespaces' => array(
            'My\Annotation' => '/path/to/annotations'
        ),
        
        // listeners to events emitted by parser. 
        // they process class annotations and transforms them into config values
        // add your own here.
        'event_listeners' => array(
            'ZfAnnotation\EventListener\RouteListener',
            // ...
        ),
        // if not null, supplied directory would used for cache to speed up parsing
        'cache' => '/path/to/cache/dir',
        // if true, will ignore cached data and always return a fresh one.
        'cache_debug' => false
    )
)

Performance

This module is pretty fast, but anyway, parsing of lots of files on each request takes time.
The module subscribes to ModuleEvent::EVENT_MERGE_CONFIG and scans every time its is triggered. If you have option module_listener_options.config_cache_enabled enabled, annotation parser will not do parsing unless you set config_cache_enabled to false or remove a cache file. More info about caching here.
