<?php namespace ProcessWire;/*** ProcessWire Module Interface** Provides the base interfaces required by modules.** ProcessWire 3.x, Copyright 2018 by Ryan Cramer* https://processwire.com** #pw-summary Module is the primary PHP interface for module types in ProcessWire.* #pw-body =* The Module interface doesn't actually require any specific methods,* (other than the `className()` method) but is required as an interface* to state your intention to ProcessWire that your class is to be used* as a Module. As a result, all methods are optional, but including the* Module interface is not. You must also provide a means by which ProcessWire* can query information about your module. More on that below.** ### Implementing the Module interface** Below is how you indicate a PHP class is a ProcessWire Module:** ~~~~~* <?php namespace ProcessWire;* class HelloWorld extends WireData implements Module {* // your class implementation* }* ~~~~~** Modules should either extend the `WireData` class, or if they are a* predefined type already recognized by ProcessWire, they should extend* the base class of that type (or another module based upon it). Base* module types include:** - `AdminTheme`* - `Fieldtype`* - `FileCompilerModule`* - `FileValidatorModule`* - `Inputfield`* - `ModuleJS`* - `PageAction`* - `Process`* - `Textformatter`* - `WireAction`* - `WireMail`* - `WireSessionHandler`** ### Requirements for Modules** 1. Must provide a means of getting information about the module.* This can be with a static `getModuleInfo()` method, or with* a `ModuleName.info.php` file or a `ModuleName.info.json` file.** 2. Must provide a `className()` method that returns the module* class name. All Wire derived objects already do this, so* you don't have to provide it unless your Module does not* descend from a ProcessWire class. We recommend that your* modules extend the Wire or WireData class.** 3. If you have a `__construct()` method, it must not require any* particular arguments.** 4. If your module is configurable, it must also fulfill the* `ConfigurableModule` interface.** ### Optional methods** - `__construct()` - Called before module config is populated.** - `init()` - Called after module config is populated.** - `ready()` - Called after init(), after API ready. Note that ready() applies to 'autoload' modules only.** - `install()` - Called when module is installed.** - `uninstall()` - Called when module is uninstalled.** - `upgrade($fromVersion, $toVersion)` - Called on version change.** - `isAutoload()` - Returns a boolean indicating whether the module should be loaded at boot.* Can also be specified as a property in module information.** - `isSingular()` - Returns a boolean indicating whether the module is limited to one instance or not.* Can also be specified as a property in module information.** - `getModuleInfo()` - A static method that returns an array of module information.** These methods are outlined in more detail further down on this page.** -----------------------------------------------------------------** ## Module Information** Modules must have some way to communicate information about* themselves to ProcessWire. This is done by providing an* associative array containing this module information. One* of the following implementations is required:** 1. `getModuleInfo()` static method in your module class that returns an array.* 2. `YourModuleClass.info.php` file that populates an `$info` array.* 3. `YourModuleClass.info.json` file that contains an `info` object.** Each of these are demonstrated below:** **1) Static getModuleInfo() method:*** ~~~~~* public static function getModuleInfo() {* return array(* 'title' => 'Your Module Title',* 'version' => 1,* 'author' => 'Your Name',* 'summary' => 'Description of what this module does and who made it.',* 'href' => 'http://www.domain.com/info/about/this/module/',* 'autoload' => false, // set to true if module should auto-load at boot* 'requires' => array(* 'HelloWorld>=1.0.1',* 'PHP>=5.4.1',* 'ProcessWire>=2.4.1'* ),* 'installs' => array('Module1', 'Module2', 'Module3'),* );* }* ~~~~~** **2) YourModuleClass.info.php file:*** Your file should populate an `$info` variable with an array exactly like* described for #1 above, i.e.** ~~~~~* $info = array(* 'title' => 'Your Module Title',* 'version' => 1,* // and so on, like the static version above* );* ~~~~~** **3) YourModuleClass.info.json file:*** Your JSON file should contain nothing but an object/map of the module info:** ~~~~~* {* "title": "Your Module Title",* "version": 1* }* ~~~~~* Note: The example JSON above just shows "title" and "version", but you would* likely add more than that as needed, like shown in the static version above.** -----------------------------------------------------------------** ## Module information properties** ### Required info properties** - `title` (string): The module's title.** - `version` (int|string): An integer or string that indicates the version number.** - `summary` (string): Summary text of the module (1 sentence recommended).** ### Optional info properties** - `href` (string): URL to more information about the module.** - `requires` (array|string): Array or CSV string of module class names that are required by this* module in order to install.** - **Requires Module version:** If a particular version of the module is required, then specify an operator* and version number after the module name, like this: "HelloWorld>=1.0.1".** - **Requires PHP version:** If a particular version of PHP is required, then specify "PHP" as the module name* followed by an operator and required version number, like this: "PHP>=5.6.0".** - **Requires ProcessWire version:** If a particular version of ProcessWire is required, then specify* ProcessWire followed by an operator and required version number, like this: "ProcessWire>=2.4.1".** - `installs` (array|string): Array or CSV string of module class names that this module will handle install* and uninstall for.* This causes ProcessWire's dependency checker to ignore them and it is assumed your module will handle* them. If your module does not handle them, ProcessWire will automatically install/uninstall them* immediately after your module.** - `permanent` (boolean): This property is intended for only for core modules. When true, a module cannot be uninstalled.** - `permission` (string): Name of permission required of a user before ProcessWire will load the module (for non-superusers).* Note that ProcessWire will not install this permission if it doesn't yet exist. To have it installed automatically,* see the _permissions_ option below this.** - `permissions` (array): Array of permissions that ProcessWire will install (and uninstall) automatically.* Permissions should be in the format: array('permission-name' => 'Permission description').** - `icon` (string): Optional icon name to represent this module.* Currently uses [font-awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) icon names.* Omit the "fa-" part, leaving just the icon name.** - `singular` (boolean): Is only one instance of this module allowed? (default=auto-detect).* This is good for any module that you want to eliminate the possibility of multiple instances* running at once. For instance, modules that become API variables are typically singular, whereas* something like an Inputfield module would not be singular. When not specified, modules that extend an* existing base type typically inherit the singular setting from the module they extend.** - `autoload` (boolean|string|callable|int): Should this module load automatically at boot? (default=false).* This is good for modules that attach hooks or that need to otherwise load on every single* request. Autoload is typically specified as a boolean true or false. Below are the different ways* autoload can be specified:** - **Boolean:** Specify true or false to indicate the module should either always autoload (true)* or never autoload (false).** - **Selector string:** The module will be automatically loaded only if the current page matches the* selector string. For example, a selector string of `template=admin` would mean the module will* only autoload in the admin side of ProcessWire.** - **Callable function:** The module will automatically load only if the given callable function* returns true.** - **Integer:** If given integer 2 or higher, it will autoload the module before other autoload* modules (in /site/modules/). Higher numbers autoload before lower numbers.** - `searchable` (string): When present, indicates that module implements a search() method* consistent with the SearchableModule interface. The value of the 'searchable' property should* be the name that the search results are referred to, using ascii characters of a-z, 0-9, and* underscore. See the SearchableModule interface in this file for more details.** -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** ## Module Methods** ### __construct()** This method is called by PHP immediately when the module is instantiated, and before any* configuration data has been populated to the module. This method must not have any required* arguments. This method is a good place for populating default configuration values or any* other initialization you want to occur before ProcessWire sees it or populates anything to it.* Your construct method should not assume that the module will actually be executed, as* ProcessWire may instantiate a module for informational reasons.** ### init()** This method is called after `__construct()` and after any configuration data has been populated* to the module. It is called before the module is handed over to the requester. This is a good* place to perform any initialization that requires configuration data and can be a good place to* attach hooks.** ### ready()** This method is used only by _autoload_ modules. It is called when the entire ProcessWire API* is ready to use. This may be preferable to the `init()` method for autoload modules because* they are loaded and init()'d at boot, when everything else is loading too. The ready() method* is called once the boot has completed and all API variables are ready to use, but before any* page has been rendered. This makes it an excellent place to attach hooks.** ### isSingular()** Indicates whether only one instance of a module is allowed to exist in memory.* If this method is not present, it will be auto-determined based on module type. If it is provided* in the module information array (discussed above) that will override this method.** This method exists primarily so that base module types may specify a singular state and have it* automatically inherit to any modules extending the type. If you are not extending a base module* type then you can implement this method, or you can provide it in your module info array.** A module that returns TRUE is referred to as a "singular" module, because there will never be any more* than a single instance of the module running.** Return TRUE if this module is a single reusable instance, returning the same instance on every* call from Modules. Return FALSE if this module should return a new instance on every call from Modules.** - Singular modules will have their instance active for the entire request after instantiated.* - Non-singular modules return a new instance on every `$modules->get("YourModule")` call.* - Modules that attach hooks are usually singular.* - Modules that may have multiple instances (like `Inputfield` modules) should _not_be singular.** If you are having trouble deciding whether to make your module singular or not, be sure to read* the documentation below for the `isAutoload()` method, because if your module is 'autoload' then* it's probably also 'singular'.** ### isAutoload()** Should this module be automatically loaded at boot?* If this method is not present, it will be auto-determined based on module type. If it is provided* in the module information array (discussed above) that will override this method.** This method exists primarily so that base module types may specify an autoload state and have it* automatically inherit to any modules extending the type. If you are not extending a base module* type then you can implement this method, or you can provide it in your module info array.** A module that returns TRUE is referred to as an "autoload" module, because it automatically loads as* part of ProcessWire's boot process. Autoload modules load before PW attempts to handle the web request.** Return TRUE if this module is automatically loaded at runtime.* Return FALSE if this module must be requested via `$modules->get('ModuleName')` method before it is loaded.** Modules that are intended to attach hooks in the application typically should be autoload because* they listen in to classes rather than have classes call upon them. If they weren't autoloaded, then* they might never get to attach their hooks.** Modules that shouldn't be autoload are those that may or may not be needed at runtime, for example* `Fieldtype` and `Inputfield` modules.** _As a side note, I can't think of any reason why a non-singular module would ever be autoload. The fact that* an autoload module is automatically loaded as part of PW's boot process implies it's probably going to be the* only instance running. So if you've decided to make your module 'autoload', then is safe to assume you've* also decided your module will also be singular (if that helps anyone reading this)._** ### install()** This method is called when the module is first installed. If implemented, install() methods typically are* defined hookable as `public function ___install()`.** The method should prepare the environment with anything else needed by the module, such as newly created* fields, pages, templates, etc. or installation of other modules.** If the install() method determines that the module called be installed for some reason, it should* throw a `WireException.`** ### uninstall()** This method is called when the module is uninstalled. If implemented, uninstall() methods typically are* defined hookable as `public function ___uninstall()`.** This method should undo everything done by the install() method, or undo anything created by the module,* restoring the system back to the state that it was in before the module was installed.** If the uninstall() method determines that it cannot proceed for some reason, it should throw* a `WireException`.** ### upgrade($fromVersion, $toVersion)** This method is called when a version change is detected. This method should make any adjustments needed* to support the module from one version to another. The previous known version ($fromVersion) and new* version ($toVersion) are provided as arguments.** If implemented, upgrade() methods typically are defined hookable as `public function ___upgrade(...)`.* If the upgrade cannot proceed for some reason, this method should throw a `WireException`.***** #pw-body** The following methods may or may not be implemented, all are optional:** #pw-method void install() Called when module is installed.* #pw-method void uninstall() Called when module is uninstalled.* #pw-method void upgrade($fromVersion, $toVersion) Called when a version change is detected for the module.* #pw-method array getModuleInfo() Static method that returns array of module info (not required if module implements an info file instead).* #pw-method void init() Called when the module is loaded, immediately after any configuration data has been populated to it.* #pw-method void ready() For autoload modules only, called when the ProcessWire API is ready to use.* #pw-method void setConfigData(array $data) Modules may optionally provide this method to receive config data from ProcessWire.* #pw-method bool isSingular() #pw-internal* #pw-method bool isAutoload() #pw-internal***/interface Module {/*** Return an array of module information** @return array** public static function getModuleInfo();**//*** Method to initialize the module.** While the method is required, if you don't need it, then just leave the implementation blank.** This is called after ProcessWire's API is fully ready for use and hooks. It is called at the end of the* bootstrap process. This is before PW has started retrieving or rendering a page. If you need to have the* API ready with the $page ready as well, then see the ready() method below this one.** public function init();**//*** Method called when API is fully ready and the $page is determined and set, but before a page is rendered.** Optional and only called if it exists in the module.** public function ready();**//*** Return this object’s class name** If your Module descends from Wire, or any of it's derivatives (as would usually be the case),* then you don't need to implement this method as it's already present.** @param array|bool|null $options Optionally an option or boolean for 'namespace' option:* - `lowercase` (bool): Specify true to make it return hyphenated lowercase version of class name* - `namespace` (bool): Specify false to omit namespace from returned class name.

That’s because the* search method is generally self contained. If you need either of those methods to be called,* and your module is not autoload, you should call the method(s) from your search() method.** About the optional “properties” index:* If ProcessWire calls your search() method with $options['info'] == true; then it is likely wanting to see* what properties are available for search. For instance, properties for a Module search might be:* [ 'name', 'title', 'summary' ]. Implementation of the properties index is optional, and for PW’s informational* purposes only.** @param string $text Text to search for* @param array $options Options array provided to search() calls:* - `edit` (bool): True if any 'url' returned should be to edit rather than view items, where access allows.

(default=0).* - `type` (string): If search should only be of a specific type, i.e. "pages", "modules", etc. then it is* specified here. This corresponds with the getModuleInfo()['searchable'] name or item 'group' property.* Note that ProcessWire won’t call your search() method if the type cannot match this search.* - `operator` (string): Selector operator type requested, if more than one is supported (default is %=).* - `property` (string): If search should limit to a particular property/field, it is named here.* - `verbose` (bool): True if output can optionally be more verbose, false if not. (default=false)* - `debug` (bool): True if DEBUG option was specified in query. (default=false)* - `help` (bool): True if we are just querying for help/info and are not using the search results.
