Traversable arayüzü

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Giriş

Bir sınıf foreach kullanarak çaprazlanabiliyorsa bunu saptayan arayüz.

Tek başına gerçeklenemeyen bir soyut temel arayüz olup ya IteratorAggregate ya da Iterator olarak gerçeklenmelidir.

Arayüz Sözdizimi

interface Traversable {
}

Bu arayüzün yöntemleri yoktur. Tek amacı çaprazlanabilir tüm sınıflar için temel arayüz olmaktır.

Sürüm Bilgisi

Sürüm: Açıklama
7.4.0 Traversable arayüzü artık soyut sınıflar tarafından gerçeklenebiliyor. Genişleyen sınıflar Iterator veya IteratorAggregate gerçeklemelidir.

Notlar

Bilginize:

Bu arayüzü gerçekleyen dahili (yerleşik) sınıflar bir foreach oluşumunda kullanılabilir ve IteratorAggregate veya Iterator gerçeklemesi gerekmez.

Bilginize:

PHP 7.4.0 öncesinde, bu dahili motor arayüz PHP betiklerinde gerçeklenemezdi. Yerine ya IteratorAggregate ya da Iterator kullanılması gerekirdi.

While you cannot implement this interface, you can use it in your checks to determine if something is usable in for each. Here is what I use if I'm expecting something that must be iterable via foreach.

<?php
   
if( !is_array( $items ) && !$items instanceof Traversable )
       
//Throw exception here
?>

NOTE:  While objects and arrays can be traversed by foreach, they do NOT implement "Traversable", so you CANNOT check for foreach compatibility using an instanceof check.

Example:

$myarray = array('one', 'two', 'three');
$myobj = (object)$myarray;

if ( !($myarray instanceof \Traversable) ) {
    print "myarray is NOT Traversable";
}
if ( !($myobj instanceof \Traversable) ) {
    print "myobj is NOT Traversable";
}

foreach ($myarray as $value) {
    print $value;
}
foreach ($myobj as $value) {
    print $value;
}

Output:
myarray is NOT Traversable
myobj is NOT Traversable
one
two
three
one
two
three

The PHP7 iterable pseudo type will match both Traversable and array. Great for return type-hinting so that you do not have to expose your Domain to Infrastructure code, e.g. instead of a Repository returning a Cursor, it can return hint 'iterable':
<?php
UserRepository
::findUsers(): iterable
?>

Also, instead of:
<?php
   
if( !is_array( $items ) && !$items instanceof Traversable )
       
//Throw exception here
?>

You can now do with the is_iterable() method:
<?php
   
if ( !is_iterable( $items ))
       
//Throw exception here
?>

Note that all objects can be iterated over with foreach anyway and it'll go over each property. This just describes whether or not the class implements an iterator, i.e. has custom behaviour.

Actually you can use `Traversable` within your php scripts - you can use it to enforce iterability on user-land objects.

<?php

interface Stream implements \Traversable {}

class
InMemoryStream implements IteratorAggregate, Stream
{
    public function
getIterator() {}
}

$stream = new InMemoryStream();
?>

In case you'd forgot about implementing `IteratorAggregate` or `Iterator` interfaces, fatal error will be raised when instantiating objects in question.

<?php

interface Stream implements \Traversable {}

class
InMemoryStream implements Stream {}

$stream = new InMemoryStream(); // Fatal error: Class InMemoryStream must implement interface Traversable as part of either Iterator or IteratorAggregate in Unknown on line 0
?>
