The package is able to build generic proxy for a class i.e. it allows intercepting all class method calls. It's used in yii-debug package to collect service's method calls information.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.1 – 8.5.

Installation

The package could be installed with Composer:

composer require yiisoft/proxy

General usage

Custom base proxy class

Custom base proxy class is useful to perform certain actions during each method call.

use Yiisoft\Proxy\ObjectProxy;

class MyProxy extends ObjectProxy
{
 protected function afterCall(string $methodName, array $arguments, mixed $result, float $timeStart) : mixed {
 $result = parent::afterCall($methodName, $arguments, $result, $timeStart);
 
 $error = $this->getCurrentError(); // Use to track and handle errors. 
 $time = microtime(true) - $timeStart; // Use to measure / log execution time.
 
 return $result;
 }
}

Additionally, you can customize new instance creation, etc. See examples in yii-debug extension.

Class with interface

Having an interface and class implementing it, the proxy can be created like this:

use Yiisoft\Proxy\ProxyManager;

interface CarInterface
{
 public function horsepower(): int;
}

class Car implements CarInterface
{
 public function horsepower(): int
 {
 return 1;
 }
}

$path = sys_get_temp_dir();
$manager = new ProxyManager(
 // This is optional. The proxy can be created "on the fly" instead. But it's recommended to specify path to enable
 // caching.
 $path
);
/** @var Car|MyProxy $object */
$object = $manager->createObjectProxy(
 CarInterface::class,
 MyProxy::class, // Custom base proxy class defined earlier.
 [new Car()]
);
// Now you can call `Car` object methods through proxy the same as you would call it in original `Car` object.
$object->horsepower(); // Outputs "1".

Class without interface

An interface is not required though, the proxy still can be created almost the same way:

use Yiisoft\Proxy\ProxyManager;

class Car implements CarInterface
{
 public function horsepower(): int
 {
 return 1;
 }
}

$path = sys_get_temp_dir();
$manager = new ProxyManager($path);
/** @var Car|MyProxy $object */
$object = $manager->createObjectProxy(
 Car::class, // Pass class instead of interface here. 
 MyProxy::class, 
 [new Car()]
);

Proxy class contents

Here is an example how proxy class looks internally:

class CarProxy extends MyProxy implements CarInterface
{
 public function horsepower(): int
 {
 return $this->call('horsepower', []);
 }
}
