Its main goal is to introduce additional behaviour and logic to code in a simple and controllable manner. To do this doppelgaenger relies on annotations with which additional features can be added. Doppelgaenger currently supports the known techniques of: - [AOP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming) - [Design by Contract](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract) Issues ------ [](#issues) In order to bundle our efforts we would like to collect all issues regarding this package in [the main project repository's issue tracker](https://github.com/appserver-io/appserver/issues). Please reference the originating repository as the first element of the issue title e.g.: `[appserver-io/] A issue I am having` Semantic versioning ------------------- [](#semantic-versioning) This library follows semantic versioning and its public API defines as follows: - The public API of [its related appserver.io PSR](https://github.com/appserver-io-psr/mop) - The public interface of the `\AppserverIo\Doppelgaenger\AutoLoader` class - The public interface of the `\AppserverIo\Doppelgaenger\Config` class - The syntax and amount of usable annotations (NOT including common annotations such as `@param` and `@return`) - The format of its configuration files External Links -------------- [](#external-links) - Documentation at [appserver.io](http://docs.appserver.io) (have a look at [`AOP`](http://appserver.io/get-started/documentation/aop.html) and [`Design by Contract`](http://appserver.io/get-started/documentation/design-by-contract.html) section) ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 82% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 85.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~45 days Recently: every ~132 days Total 37 Last Release 2556d ago Major Versions 0.6.0 → 1.0.02015-02-13 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/76b54aaecf7287a0520eec0009161ca457982dee83ac413bfa0d818b72d79947?d=identicon)[wagnert](/maintainers/wagnert) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/33b42e8c7314da5df45bca5d1dd786ea2b3d540fae5a5a9489580a886f2f4f39?d=identicon)[zelgerj](/maintainers/zelgerj) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/aa15f27f393eeb1f1a481fa7de89b41add17de686da79d49e07c5c77249c5e86?d=identicon)[wick-ed](/maintainers/wick-ed) --- Top Contributors [![wick-ed](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4931168?v=4)](https://github.com/wick-ed "wick-ed (166 commits)")[![pathmissing](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6809462?v=4)](https://github.com/pathmissing "pathmissing (19 commits)")[![wagnert](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/287509?v=4)](https://github.com/wagnert "wagnert (5 commits)")[![ahi](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/125972?v=4)](https://github.com/ahi "ahi (3 commits)")[![zelgerj](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/287595?v=4)](https://github.com/zelgerj "zelgerj (1 commits)") --- Tags aopproxyremote proxytwindoppelgaengerremote method callaspect oriented ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/appserver-io-doppelgaenger/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/appserver-io-doppelgaenger/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/appserver-io-doppelgaenger) ``` ### Alternatives [ocramius/proxy-manager A library providing utilities to generate, instantiate and generally operate with Object Proxies 5.0k82.4M230](/packages/ocramius-proxy-manager)[friendsofphp/proxy-manager-lts Adding support for a wider range of PHP versions to ocramius/proxy-manager 1.2k139.1M104](/packages/friendsofphp-proxy-manager-lts)[fideloper/proxy Set trusted proxies for Laravel 7.3k174.4M559](/packages/fideloper-proxy)[symfony/var-exporter Provides tools to export, instantiate, hydrate, clone and lazy-load PHP objects 2.1k378.1M441](/packages/symfony-var-exporter)[php-curl-class/php-curl-class PHP Curl Class makes it easy to send HTTP requests and integrate with web APIs. 3.3k9.5M353](/packages/php-curl-class-php-curl-class)[nette/http 🌐 Nette Http: abstraction for HTTP request, response and session.
