README
Class registries for OpenAPI Tools code generators. Maps cebe/php-openapi schema objects to stable PHP class names while gathering an OpenAPI spec, tracks inline contract shapes, and records schemas used as error responses.
Installation
To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ^.
composer require openapi-tools/registry
Components
| Class | Purpose |
|---|---|
Schema |
Resolves OpenAPI schemas to PHP class names with deduplication, alias support, and discovery of unknown schemas |
Contract |
Resolves inline object schemas to contract class names during gathering |
UnknownSchema |
Value object for a schema discovered during gathering that was not pre-registered |
ThrowableSchema |
Tracks schema class names that represent error responses |
JsonException |
Thrown when schema data cannot be JSON-encoded for comparison |
Usage
These registries are created and passed through the gathering pipeline in openapi-tools/gatherer. The examples below show how each registry behaves on its own.
Schema registry
The schema registry maps OpenAPI schema objects to PHP class names. Pre-register component schemas with addClassName() before resolving references so naming stays consistent across the spec.
use cebe\openapi\spec\Schema as OpenApiSchema; use OpenAPITools\Registry\Schema; $registry = new Schema( allowDuplicatedSchemas: false, useAliasesForDuplication: false, ); $userSchema = new OpenApiSchema(['type' => 'object', 'title' => 'User']); $registry->addClassName('User', $userSchema); // Same JSON structure resolves to the pre-registered name. $matching = new OpenApiSchema(['type' => 'object', 'title' => 'User']); $registry->get($matching, 'Fallback'); // 'User' // A new schema gets a class name from the fallback and is queued as unknown. $other = new OpenApiSchema(['type' => 'string', 'format' => 'uuid']); $registry->get($other, 'Uuid'); // 'Uuid'
Array schemas are unwrapped to their items schema before lookup. When the same PHP object is passed again, the cached class name is returned regardless of the fallback name.
Unknown schemas
Schemas resolved via get() that were not pre-registered are collected and can be drained for a second gathering pass. This is how Gatherer discovers nested schemas referenced during property and operation gathering:
while ($registry->hasUnknownSchemas()) { foreach ($registry->unknownSchemas() as $unknown) { // $unknown->name, $unknown->className, $unknown->schema } }
Each call to unknownSchemas() yields the current batch and clears the internal queue.
Duplicates and aliases
When allowDuplicatedSchemas is true and useAliasesForDuplication is true, a schema with the same JSON structure as an existing one still receives a new class name, and the duplicate is recorded as an alias:
$registry = new Schema( allowDuplicatedSchemas: true, useAliasesForDuplication: true, ); $schema = new OpenApiSchema(['type' => 'string', 'title' => 'shared']); $registry->addClassName('ExistingClass', $schema); $duplicate = new OpenApiSchema(['type' => 'string', 'title' => 'shared']); $registry->get($duplicate, 'NewFallback'); // 'NewFallback' iterator_to_array($registry->aliasesForClassName('Schema\\ExistingClass')); // ['Schema\\NewFallback']
When duplicates are allowed but aliases are disabled, each occurrence gets its own class name with no alias mapping.
When the fallback name is already taken by another unknown schema, the registry appends an incrementing suffix (Foo, FooB, FooC, …).
Contract registry
The contract registry assigns class names to inline object schemas used as contracts (nested shapes embedded in a parent schema). It does not deduplicate by JSON content—only by object identity and fallback name collision:
use cebe\openapi\spec\Schema as OpenApiSchema; use OpenAPITools\Registry\Contract; $contract = new Contract(); $inline = new OpenApiSchema([ 'type' => 'object', 'properties' => ['id' => ['type' => 'integer']], ]); $contract->get($inline, 'Contract\\User\\Profile'); // 'Contract\\User\\Profile' foreach ($contract->contracts() as $registered) { // $registered->name, $registered->className, $registered->schema }
Like unknownSchemas() on the schema registry, contracts() drains and clears the internal queue.
Throwable schema registry
Operations that return error status codes register their response schema class names so generators can treat them as throwables:
use OpenAPITools\Registry\ThrowableSchema; $throwables = new ThrowableSchema(); $throwables->add('Schema\\NotFound'); $throwables->has('Schema\\NotFound'); // true
