The Yaf_Plugin_Abstract class

(Yaf >=1.0.0)

Introduction

Plugins allow for easy extensibility and customization of the framework.

Plugins are classes. The actual class definition will vary based on the component -- you may need to implement this interface, but the fact remains that the plugin is itself a class.

A plugin could be loaded into Yaf by using Yaf_Dispatcher::registerPlugin(), after registerd, All the methods which the plugin implemented according to this interface, will be called at the proper time.

Examples

Example #1 Plugin example

<?php
   
/* bootstrap class should be defined under ./application/Bootstrap.php */
   
class Bootstrap extends Yaf_Bootstrap_Abstract {
        public function 
_initPlugin(Yaf_Dispatcher $dispatcher) {
            
/* register a plugin */
            
$dispatcher->registerPlugin(new TestPlugin());
        }
   }

   
/* plugin class should be placed under ./application/plugins/ */
   
class TestPlugin extends Yaf_Plugin_Abstract {
        public function 
routerStartup(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
/* before router 
               in this hook,  user can do some url rewrite */
            
var_dump("routerStartup");
        }
        public function 
routerShutdown(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
/* router complete 
               in this hook, user can do login check */
            
var_dump("routerShutdown");
        }
        public function 
dispatchLoopStartup(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
var_dump("dispatchLoopStartup");
        }
        public function 
preDispatch(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
var_dump("preDispatch");
        }
        public function 
postDispatch(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
var_dump("postDispatch");
        }
        public function 
dispatchLoopShutdown(Yaf_Request_Abstract $requestYaf_Response_Abstract $response) {
            
/* final hoook
               in this hook user can do loging or implement layout */
            
var_dump("dispatchLoopShutdown");
        }
   }

   Class 
IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract {
        public function 
indexAction() {
            return 
FALSE//prevent rendering
        
}
   }

   
$config = array(
       
"application" => array(
           
"directory" => dirname(__FILE__) . "/application/",
       ),
   );
 
   
$app = new Yaf_Application($config);
   
$app->bootstrap()->run();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

string(13) "routerStartup"
string(14) "routerShutdown"
string(19) "dispatchLoopStartup"
string(11) "preDispatch"
string(12) "postDispatch"
string(20) "dispatchLoopShutdown"
