Doctrine Annotations Service Provider for Silex 2.x / Pimple 3.x

Lets you to use the Doctrine annotations reader in your Silex/Pimple application.

Installation

Install the service provider using composer:

composer require skalpa/silex-doctrine-annotations-provider

Registration

$app->register(new \Skalpa\Silex\Doctrine\AnnotationsServiceProvider());

$fooAnnotations = $app['annotations']->getClassAnnotations(new \ReflectionClass('Foobar\FooClass'));

Configuration parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
annotations.use_simple_reader	bool	false	Whether to use the Doctrine AnnotationReader or SimpleAnnotationReader class
annotations.register_autoloader	bool	true	Whether to autoload annotations using the PHP autoloader
annotations.cache	string|Cache	ArrayCache	Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache instance or name of a service that implements Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache
annotations.debug	bool	$app['debug']	Whether the cached reader should invalidate the cache files when the PHP class with annotations changed
annotations.ignored_names	string[]	[]	List of names that should be ignored by the annotations reader (Note: this is not supported by the SimpleAnnotationReader)

Configuring the annotations cache

By default the cache used by the annotations reader is an ArrayCache, which is probably not something you'll want to use on a production server.

If you already use a Doctrine Cache service provider and want to use an already registered cache service, set annotations.cache to the name of the service:

// The DoctrineCacheServiceProvider will register a service named "cache"
$app->register(new DoctrineCacheServiceProvider());

// Cache annotations using the "cache" service
$app->register(new AnnotationsServiceProvider(), [
    'annotations.cache' => 'cache',
]);

Alternatively, you can override the annotations.cache service and provide your own cache provider:

$app->register(new AnnotationsServiceProvider(), [
    'annotations.cache' => function () {
        $cache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(__DIR__.'/cache);
        $cache->setNamespace('annotations');

        return $cache;
    },
]);
