A regular expression datatype.

Keeps an instance of the compiled expression for speed purposes. This compiled expression is lazily evaluated (it is compiled the first time it is needed). The syntax is the dependent on which regular expression type you are using.

 Methods

__construct()

__construct() 

Creates an exception that indicates the user has generated a loop of data types referencing each other.

circularReference() 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::circularReference()

Check to see whether any DataType we hold references to is included in the Stack (which holds all DataType instances that directly or indirectly reference this instance, including this instance itself).

dieOnCircularReference($stk, \Project $p) 
Inherited

If one is included, throw a BuildException created by circularReference

This implementation is appropriate only for a DataType that cannot hold other DataTypes as children.

The general contract of this method is that it shouldn't do anything if checked is true and set it to true on exit.

inherited_from \DataType::dieOnCircularReference()

Parameters

$stk

$p

Performs the check for circular references and returns the referenced object.

getCheckedRef($requiredClass, $dataTypeName) 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::getCheckedRef()

Parameters

$requiredClass

$dataTypeName

Return the description for the current data type.

getDescription() 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::getDescription()

getIgnoreCase()

getIgnoreCase() 

getModifiers()

getModifiers() 

getMultiline()

getMultiline() 

getPattern()

getPattern($p) 

Parameters

$p

Returns a reference to current project

getProject() : \Project
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::getProject()
inherited_from \DataType::getProject()

Returns

\ProjectReference to current porject object

getRef()

getRef(\Project $p) 

Parameters

$p

getRegexp()

getRegexp(\Project $p) 

Parameters

$p

getReplace()

getReplace($p) 

Parameters

$p

Has the refid attribute of this element been set?

isReference() 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::isReference()

Logs a message with the given priority.

log(string $msg, integer $level) 
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::log()
inherited_from \DataType::log()

Parameters

$msg

string

The message to be logged.

$level

integer

The message's priority at this message should have

Creates an exception that indicates that this XML element must not have child elements if the refid attribute is set.

noChildrenAllowed() 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::noChildrenAllowed()

Template method being called when the data type has been parsed completely.

parsingComplete() : void
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::parsingComplete()

Sets a description of the current data type.

setDescription($desc) 
Inherited

It will be useful in commenting what we are doing.

inherited_from \DataType::setDescription()

Parameters

$desc

setIgnoreCase()

setIgnoreCase($bit) 

Parameters

$bit

setModifiers()

setModifiers($modifiers) 

Parameters

$modifiers

setMultiline()

setMultiline($multiline) 

Parameters

$multiline

setPattern()

setPattern($pattern) 

Parameters

$pattern

References the project to the current component.

setProject(\Project $project) 
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::setProject()
inherited_from \DataType::setProject()

Parameters

$project

\Project

The reference to the current project

Set the value of the refid attribute.

setRefid(\Reference $r) : void
Inherited

Subclasses may need to check whether any other attributes have been set as well or child elements have been created and thus override this method. if they do they must call parent::setRefid()

inherited_from \DataType::setRefid()

Parameters

setReplace()

setReplace($replace) 

Parameters

$replace

Creates an exception that indicates that refid has to be the only attribute if it is set.

tooManyAttributes() 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::tooManyAttributes()

 Properties

 

$description 
Inherited
inherited_from \DataType::$$description
 

$ref 
Inherited

Type of Reference

inherited_from \DataType::$$ref
 

$checked : boolean
Inherited

Subclasses are responsible for setting this value to false if we'd need to investigate this condition (usually because a child element has been added that is a subclass of DataType).

inherited_from \DataType::$$checked
 

$project : \Project
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::$$project
inherited_from \DataType::$$project
 

$ignoreCase 
todo Probably both $ignoreCase and $multiline should be removed from attribute list of RegularExpression class: actual values are preserved on regexp *engine* level, not expression object itself.
 

$multiline 
 

$regexp
