Six years ago, the TYPO3 community was seeking for a framework as a foundation for their new CMS. There was none satisfying their wishlist of features and architecture and thus a new one was made - top notch, built without the pressure of day to day work. In the meantime TYPO3 Flow has become one of the “serious” PHP frameworks which is built on two paradigms: harness the complexity of enterprise applications but at the same time be concise and developer friendly. Or in short: Flow brings back the joy of development in PHP. This session introduces some of the main features of TYPO3 Flow 2.0 and gives you an idea about how it relates to the well established frameworks on the market.

48. Dependency Injection

49. class SomeService {
protected static $instance;
public function getInstance() {
if (self::$instance === NULL) {
self::$instance = new self;
}
return self::$instance;
}
}
class SomeOtherController {
public function action() {
$service = SomeService::getInstance();
…
}
}

50. class ServiceLocator {
protected static $services = array();
public function getInstance($name) {
return self::$service[$name];
}
}
class SomeOtherController {
public function action() {
$service = ServiceLocate::getInstance("SomeService");
…
}
}

51. Flow's take on Dependency Injection
• one of the first PHP implementations
(started in 2006, improved ever since)
• object management for the whole lifecycle of all objects
• no unnecessary configuration if information can be
gathered automatically (autowiring)
• intuitive use and no bad magical surprises
• fast! (like hardcoded or faster)

52. class BookController extends ActionController {
/**
* @var BookRepository
*/
protected $bookRepository;
/**
* @param BookRepository $bookRepository
*/
public function __construct(BookRepository $bookRepository) {
$this->bookRepository = $bookRepository;
}
}

53. class BookController extends ActionController {
/**
* @var BookRepository
*/
protected $bookRepository;
/**
* @param BookRepository $bookRepository
*/
public function injectBookRepository(BookRepository
$bookRepository) {
$this->bookRepository = $bookRepository;
}
}

54. class BookController extends ActionController {
/**
* @FlowInject
* @var BookRepository
*/
protected $bookRepository;
}

55. Aspect-Oriented Programming

56. /**
* An action which sends greetings to $name
*
* @param string $name The name to mention
* @return string
*/
public function greetAction($name) {
return "Hello $name!";
}

57. dev.demo.local/acme.demo/helloworld/greet.html?name=Robert
dev.demo.local/acme.demo/helloworld/greet.html?name=Robert
Hello Robert!

58. /**
* @FlowAspect
*/
class DemoAspect {
/**
* @param TYPO3FlowAopJoinPointInterface $joinPoint
* @return void
* @FlowAround("method(.*->greetAction())")
*/
public function demoAdvice(JoinPointInterface $joinPoint) {
$name = $joinPoint->getMethodArgument('name');
return sprintf('%s, you are running out of time!');
}
