Kaliop Content Decorator Bundle

Kaliop Content Decorator Bundle is an Ibexa extension inspired by eZObjectWrapperBundle. It lets you work with Ibexa Content objects as typed models plus dedicated repositories.

Instead of using raw content objects everywhere, you map content types to custom classes extending Kaliop\Contracts\ContentDecorator\Model\ContentDecorator.

Compatibility

Bundle line	Ibexa	Symfony	PHP
1.x	4.6	5.4 LTS	>= 8.1

Installation

composer require kaliop/content-decorator-bundle

If Symfony Flex does not enable the bundle automatically, register it in config/bundles.php:

return [
    Kaliop\Bundle\ContentDecorator\KaliopContentDecoratorBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Quick Start

1. Configure mappings:

# config/packages/kaliop_content_decorator.yaml
kaliop_content_decorator:
    default_class: App\Model\GenericContent
    default_repository_class: Kaliop\ContentDecorator\Repository\ContentRepository
    mappings:
        App:
            namespace: 'App\Model'
            dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Model'

2. Create a decorator class:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Model;

use Kaliop\ContentDecorator\Attribute\Decorator;
use Kaliop\Contracts\ContentDecorator\Model\ContentDecorator;

#[Decorator(repositoryClass: App\Repository\ArticleRepository::class, contentTypes: ['article'])]
final class Article extends ContentDecorator
{
}

3. Create a repository:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Repository;

use Kaliop\ContentDecorator\Repository\AbstractContentRepository;

final class ArticleRepository extends AbstractContentRepository
{
    public function findByAuthorId(int $authorId): array
    {
        // Implement query logic
        return [];
    }
}

4. Use ContentDecoratorManager in your service/controller:

$repository = $contentDecoratorManager->getRepository(App\Model\Article::class);
$articles = $repository->findByAuthorId(42);

Configuration

kaliop_content_decorator:
    default_class: App\Model\GenericContent
    default_repository_class: Kaliop\ContentDecorator\Repository\ContentRepository
    mappings:
        App:
            namespace: 'App\Model'
            dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Model'
    content_types:
        article: App\Model\Article

Injectors

Decorators are not Symfony services. Use injectors to add services during decoration. Implement Kaliop\Contracts\ContentDecorator\Injector\InjectorInterface and tag as kaliop.content_decorator.injector (autoconfiguration handles this automatically).

Default injectors:

• ConfigResolverInjector
• IbexaRepositoryInjector
• ImageVariationInjector
• LoggerInjector
• ManagerInjector
• TranslatorInjector
• UrlGeneratorInjector

Performance and Method-Level Cache

• Decorated instances are cached in memory per request.
• Proxy classes can cache selected method results.
• Mark methods with #[Cacheable].
• Method parameters must be serializable.

use Kaliop\ContentDecorator\Attribute\Cacheable;

#[Cacheable]
public function getExpensiveComputation(): array
{
    return [];
}

Contribute

The tool comes with quite a few built-in fixers, but everyone is more than welcome to contribute more of them.
