Allow Symfony bundles to have plugins

Symfony Bundle Plugins

By Matthias Noback

This package helps you create extensible bundles, by introducing a plugin
system for bundles. Each bundle plugin can define its own services and
configuration. This basically makes your bundles conform to the open/closed
principle.

Setup

Install this library in your project by running

composer require matthiasnoback/symfony-bundle-plugins

Example

First, your bundle should extend BundleWithPlugins. You need to implement
the getAlias method. It should return the name of your bundle's
configuration key (as it will be used in config.yml for instance).

use Matthias\BundlePlugins\BundleWithPlugins;

class DemoBundle extends BundleWithPlugins
{
protected function getAlias()
{
return 'demo';
}
}

Each plugin for the bundle should implement BundlePlugin:

use Matthias\BundlePlugins\BundlePlugin;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\ArrayNodeDefinition;
use Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\YamlFileLoader;

class FooPlugin implements BundlePlugin
{
public function name()
{
return 'foo';
}

public function load(
array $pluginConfiguration,
ContainerBuilder $container
) {
// load specific service definitions for this plugin,
// just like you would do in a bundle extension

$loader = new YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__));
$loader->load('foo.yml');

// $pluginConfiguration contains just the values that are relevant
// for this plugin
}

public function addConfiguration(ArrayNodeDefinition $pluginNode)
{
// add plugin-specific configuration nodes,
// just like you would do in a bundle extension

$pluginNode
->children()
->scalarNode('foo')
->isRequired()
->end();
}
}

When instantiating this bundle in your AppKernel class, you can provide any
number of BundlePlugin instances:

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
public function registerBundles()
{
return array(
...,
new DemoBundle(array(new FooPlugin()))
);
}
}

If some of the plugins are required, just introduce a CorePlugin and make
sure it is always registered by overriding your bundle's
alwaysRegisteredPlugins() method:

class DemoBundle
{
...

protected function alwaysRegisteredPlugins()
{
return array(new CorePlugin());
}
}

Register compiler passes

When a bundle plugin needs to register a compiler pass, it can do so in its
build() method.

class FooPlugin implements BundlePlugin
{
...

public function build(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$container->addCompilerPass(...);
}
}

Booting a plugin

Whenever the main bundle is booted, plugins are allowed to do some runtime
initialization as well. They can do this in their boot() method. At that
time, the fully initialized service container is available:

class FooPlugin implements BundlePlugin
{
...

public function boot(ContainerInterface $container)
{
// runtime initialization (will run when the kernel itself is
// booted)
}
}

Simple plugins

If your plugin is quite simple (i.e. only needs a load() method), just make
the plugin class extend SimpleBundlePlugin which contains stub
implementations for the interface methods that you won't need.
