Summary

Properties

$_observed

Defines if this object is under observation

$_observers

protected array SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::$_observers = array()

The Objects to notify on any change

This will be the PDF document or another value holding this one. Initially this will be an array.

$metadata

An array for individual metadata.


Static Methods

_ensureType()

protected static SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::_ensureType (
string $type, mixed $value, string $errorMessage [, $ensure = true ]
): mixed

Ensure that a value is an instance of a specific PDF type.

Parameters
$type : string
 
$value : mixed
 
$errorMessage : string
 
$ensure
 
Exceptions

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Type_Exception

ensureType()

Ensures that the passed value is a SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType instance.

Parameters
$value : mixed
 
Exceptions

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Type_Exception

ensureWithType()

Ensures that the passed value is an instance of the passed type.

Parameters
$type : string
 
$value : mixed
 
Exceptions

Throws SetaPDF_Core_Type_Exception

is()

public static SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::is (
string $type, mixed $value [, bool $ensure = true ]
): bool

Checks if the type of a value is the expected one.

Indirect references will be evaluated if $ensure is set to true.

Parameters
$type : string
 
$value : mixed
 
$ensure : bool
 

writePdfString()

public static SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::writePdfString (
SetaPDF_Core_WriteInterface $writer, mixed $value
): void

Parses a php value to a pdf string and writes it into a writer.

PHP data type -> PDF data type

Null -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_Null

Boolean -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_Boolean

Integer/Double -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_Numeric

String -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_String or SetaPDF_Core_Type_Name(if the string starts with "/")

Indexed array -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_Array

Associative array -> SetaPDF_Core_Type_Dictionary

Parameters
$writer : SetaPDF_Core_WriteInterface
 
$value : mixed
 
Exceptions

Throws InvalidArgumentException


Methods

__construct()

The constructor.

__clone()

Implementation of __clone().

__sleep()

public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::__sleep (
void
): array

Implementation of __sleep.

We remove the observers from all elements because they will get read if they are waked up in an observed object.

__wakeup()

Implementation of __wakeup.

Unset the observed flag.

attach()

Add an observer to the object.

Implementation of the Observer Pattern.

Parameters
$observer : SplObserver
 

cleanUp()

This method is used to clean up an object by releasing memory and references.

The observers have to be removed with the "detach()"-method. Only if there is no observer left this method should really release resources.

The method has to be implemented by each object type

deepClone()

Clone the object recursively in the context of a document.

Parameters
$document : SetaPDF_Core_Document
 

detach()

Detach an observer from the object.

Implementation of the Observer Pattern.

Parameters
$observer : SplObserver
 

detachAll()

Detach all observers from this object.

Be careful with this method!!!

ensure()

public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::ensure (
[ bool|null $forceObservation = null ]
): SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType

Returns the main value.

This method is used for automatically resolving of indirect references.

Parameters
$forceObservation : bool|null
 

getValue()

abstract public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::getValue (
void
): mixed

Gets the PDF value.

isObserved()

Checks if this object is observed.

notify()

public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::notify (
void
): void

Notifies all attached observers.

Implementation of the Observer Pattern.

Has to be called by any method that changes a value.

setValue()

abstract public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::setValue (
mixed $value
): void

Sets the value of the PDF type.

Parameters
$value : mixed
 

toPdfString()

abstract public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::toPdfString (
[ SetaPDF_Core_Document $pdfDocument = null ]
): string

Returns the type as a formatted PDF string.

Parameters
$pdfDocument : SetaPDF_Core_Document
 

toPhp()

abstract public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::toPhp (
void
): mixed

Converts the PDF data type to a PHP data type and returns it.

writeTo()

abstract public SetaPDF_Core_Type_AbstractType::writeTo (
SetaPDF_Core_Document $pdfDocument
): void

Writes the type as a formatted PDF string to the document.

Parameters
$pdfDocument : SetaPDF_Core_Document
