README

This is a library with additional classes for usage in combination with the Symfony framework.

Mailer helpers

Automatically set a sender address

We want to replace setting the sender via mailer.yaml as envelope (@see https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/mailer/event-global-recipients) as this would still require each mail to have a FROM address set and also doesn't allow us to set a sender name.

config/services.yaml:

    Vrok\SymfonyAddons\EventSubscriber\AutoSenderSubscriber:
        arguments:
            $sender: "%env(MAILER_SENDER)%"

.env[.local]:

MAILER_SENDER="Change Me <your@email>"

Messenger helpers

Resetting the logger before/after a message

We want to group all log entries belonging to a single message to be grouped with a distinct UID and to flush a buffer logger after a message was processed (successfully or failed), to immediately see the entries in the log:

config/services.yaml:

    # add a UID to the context, same UID for each HTTP request or console command
    # and with the event subscriber also for each message 
    Monolog\Processor\UidProcessor:
        tags:
            - { name: monolog.processor, handler: logstash }

    # resets the UID when a message is received, flushed a buffer after a
    # message was handled. Add this multiple times if you want to flush more
    # channels, e.g. messenger
    app.event.reset_app_logger:
        class: Vrok\SymfonyAddons\EventSubscriber\ResetLoggerSubscriber
        tags:
            - { name: monolog.logger, channel: app }

Validators

AtLeastOneOf

Works like Symfony's own AtLeastOneOf constraint, but instead of returning a message like This value should satisfy at least ... it returns the message of the last failed validation. Can be used for obviously optional form fields where only simple messages should be displayed when AtLeastOne is used with Blank as first constraint.
See AtLeastOneOfValidatorTest for examples.

NoHtml

This validator tries to detect if a string contains HTML, to allow only plain text.
See NoHtmlValidatorTest for examples of allowed / forbidden values.

NoLineBreak

This validator raises a violation if it detects one or more linebreak characters in the validated string.
Detects unicode linebreaks, see NoLineBreaksValidatorTest for details.

NoSurroundingWhitespace

This validator raises a violation if it detects trailing or leading whitespace or newline characters in the validated string. Linebreaks and spaces are valid within the string.
Uses a regex looking for \s and \R, see NoSurroundingWhitespaceValidatorTest for details on detected characters.

PasswordStrength

This validator evaluates the strength of a given password string by determining its entropy instead of requireing something like "must contain at least one uppercase & one digit & one special char".
Allows to set a minStrength to vary the requirements. See Vrok\SymfonyAddons\Helper\PasswordStrength for details on the calculation.

PHPUnit helpers

Using the ApiPlatformTestCase

This class is used to test ApiPlatform endpoints by specifying input data and verifying the response data. It combines the traits documented below to refresh the database before each test, optionally create authenticated requests and check for created logs / sent emails / dispatched messages. It allows to easily check for expected response content, allowed or forbidden keys in the data or to verify against a given schema.

Requires "symfony/browser-kit" & "symfony/http-client" to be installed (and of cause ApiPlatform).

<?php

use Vrok\SymfonyAddons\PHPUnit\ApiPlatformTestCase;

class AuthApiTest extends ApiPlatformTestCase
{
    public function testAuthRequiresPassword(): void
    {
        $this->testOperation([
            'uri'            => '/authentication_token',
            'method'         => 'POST',
            'requestOptions' => ['json' => ['username' => 'fakeuser']],
            'responseCode'   => 400,
            'contentType'    => 'application/json',
            'json'           => [
                'type'   => 'https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10',
                'title'  => 'An error occurred',
                'detail' => 'The key "password" must be provided.',
            ],
        ]);
    }
}

Using the RefreshDatabaseTrait

(Re-)Creates the DB schema for each test, removes existing data and fills the tables with predefined fixtures. Install doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle and create fixtures, the trait uses the test group per default.

Just include the trait in your testcase and call bootKernel() or createClient(), e.g. in the setUp method:

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\KernelTestCase;
use Vrok\SymfonyAddons\PHPUnit\RefreshDatabaseTrait;

class DatabaseTest extends KernelTestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabaseTrait;

    /**
     * @var \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager
     */
    private $entityManager;

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        $kernel = self::bootKernel();

        $this->entityManager = $kernel->getContainer()
            ->get('doctrine')
            ->getManager();
    }

}

Optionally define which fixtures to use for this test class:

    protected static $fixtureGroups = ['test', 'other'];

Supports setting the cleanup method after tests via DB_CLEANUP_METHOD. Allowed values are purge and dropSchema, for more details see RefreshDatabaseTrait::$cleanupMethod.

Using the AuthenticatedClientTrait

For use with an APIPlatform project with lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle. Creates a JWT for the user given by its unique email, username etc. and adds it to the test client's headers.

Include the trait in your testcase and call createAuthenticatedClient:

use ApiPlatform\Core\Bridge\Symfony\Bundle\Test\ApiTestCase;
use Vrok\SymfonyAddons\PHPUnit\AuthenticatedClientTrait;

class ApiTest extends ApiTestCase
{
   use AuthenticatedClientTrait;

   public function testAccess(): void
   {
       $client = static::createAuthenticatedClient([
           'email' => TestFixtures::ADMIN['email']
       ]);

       $iri = $this->findIriBy(User::class, ['id' => 1]);
       $client->request('GET', $iri);
       self::assertResponseIsSuccessful();
   }
}

Using the MonologAssertsTrait

For use with an Symfony project using the monolog-bundle.
Requires monolog/monolog of v3.0 or higher.

Include the trait in your testcase and call prepareLogger before triggering the action that should create logs and use assertLoggerHasMessage afterwards to check if a log record was created with the given message & severity:

use Monolog\Level;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\KernelTestCase;
use Vrok\SymfonyAddons\PHPUnit\MonologAssertsTrait;

class LoggerTest extends KernelTestCase
{
   use MonologAssertsTrait;

   public function testLog(): void
   {      
       self::prepareLogger();

       $logger = static::getContainer()->get(LoggerInterface::class);
       $logger->error('Failed to do something');
       
       self::assertLoggerHasMessage('Failed to do something', Level::Error);
   }
}

Workflow helpers

Require symfony/workflow.

PropertyMarkingStore

Can be used instead of the default MethodMarkingStore, for entities & properties without Setter/Getter.

workflow.yaml:

framework:
  workflows:
    application_state:
      type: state_machine
      marking_store:
        # We need to use a service as there is no option to register a new "type"
        service: workflow.application.marking_store

services.yaml:

    # When using the "service" option, all other settings like "property: state"
    # are ignored in the workflow.yaml -> That's why we need a service definition
    # with the correct arguments.
    workflow.application.marking_store:
      class: Vrok\SymfonyAddons\Workflow\PropertyMarkingStore
      arguments: [true, 'state']

WorkflowHelper

Allows to get an array of available transitions and their blockers, can be used to show the user what transitions are possible from the current state and/or why a transition is currently blocked.

    public function __invoke(
        Entity $data
        WorkflowInterface $entityStateMachine,
    ): array
    {
      $result = $data->toArray();
      
      $result['transitions'] = WorkflowHelper::getTransitionList($data, $entityStateMachine);
      
      return $result;
    }

'publish' => [
    'blockers' => [
        TransitionBlocker::UNKNOWN => 'Title is empty!',
    ],
],

Cron events

Adding this bundle to the bundles.php registers three new CLI commands:

    Vrok\SymfonyAddons\VrokSymfonyAddonsBundle::class => ['all' => true],

bin/console cron:hourly
bin/console cron:daily
bin/console cron:monthly

When these are called, they trigger an event (CronHourlyEvent, CronDailyEvent, CronMonthlyEvent) that can be used by one ore more event listeners/subscribers to do maintenance, push messages to the messenger etc. It is your responsibility to execute these commands via crontab correctly!

use Vrok\SymfonyAddons\Event\CronDailyEvent;

class MyEventSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
    public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            CronDailyEvent::class => [
                ['onCronDaily', 100],
            ],
        ];
    }
}

ApiPlatform Filters

SimpleSearchFilter

Selects entities where the search term is found (case insensitive) in at least one of the specified properties. The properties can also be of relations, e.g. child.name. All specified properties must be string types (varchar, text etc.) or JSON fields (Postgres only), in that case the JSON is cast to string first.

#[ApiFilter(
    filterClass: SimpleSearchFilter::class,
    properties: [
        'description',
        'name',
        'slug',
        'parent.title',
        'children.content',
    ],
    arguments: ['searchParameterName' => 'pattern']
)]

Requires CAST as defined Doctrine function, e.g. by vrok/doctrine-addons:

doctrine:
  orm:
    dql:
      string_functions:
        CAST: Vrok\DoctrineAddons\ORM\Query\AST\CastFunction

ContainsFilter

Postgres-only: Filters entities by their jsonb fields, if they contain the search parameter, using the @> operator. For example for filtering for numbers in an array.

#[ApiFilter(filterClass: ContainsFilter::class, properties: ['numbers'])]

Requires CONTAINS as defined Doctrine function, provided by vrok/doctrine-addons:

doctrine:
  orm:
    dql:
      string_functions:
        CONTAINS: Vrok\DoctrineAddons\ORM\Query\AST\ContainsFunction

JsonExistsFilter

Postgres-only: Filters entities by their jsonb fields, if they contain the search parameter, using the ? operator. For example for filtering Users by their role, to prevent accidental matching with overlapping role names (e.g. ROLE_ADMIN and ROLE_ADMIN_BLOG) when searching as text with WHERE roles LIKE '%ROLE_ADMIN%'.

#[ApiFilter(filterClass: JsonExistsFilter::class, properties: ['roles'])]

Requires JSON_CONTAINS_TEXT as defined Doctrine function, provided by vrok/doctrine-addons:

doctrine:
  orm:
    dql:
      string_functions:
        JSON_CONTAINS_TEXT: Vrok\DoctrineAddons\ORM\Query\AST\JsonContainsTextFunction

MultipartDecoder

Adding this bundle to the bundles.php registers the MultipartDecoder to allow handling of file uploads with additional data (e.g. in ApiPlatform):

    Vrok\SymfonyAddons\VrokSymfonyAddonsBundle::class => ['all' => true],

The decoder is automatically called for multipart requests and simply returns all POST parameters and uploaded files together. To enable this add the multipart format to your config\api_platform.yaml:

api_platform:
    formats:
        multipart: ['multipart/form-data']

FormDecoder

Adding this bundle to the bundles.php registers the FormDecoder to allow handling HTML form data in ApiPlatform:

    Vrok\SymfonyAddons\VrokSymfonyAddonsBundle::class => ['all' => true],

The decoder is automatically called for form requests and simply returns all POST parameters. To enable this add the form format to your config\api_platform.yaml:

api_platform:
    formats:
      form: ['application/x-www-form-urlencoded']

Twig Extensions

Adding this bundle to the bundles.php together with the symfony/twig-bundle registers the new extension:

    Vrok\SymfonyAddons\VrokSymfonyAddonsBundle::class => ['all' => true],

FormatBytes

Converts bytes to human-readable notation (supports up to TiB).
This extension is auto-registered.
In your Twig template:

  {{ attachment.filesize|formatBytes }}

Outputs: 9.34 MiB
