Remove-Prefix-Patcher for PHP-Scoper
====================================

[](#remove-prefix-patcher-for-php-scoper)

[PHP-Scoper](https://github.com/humbug/php-scoper) Patcher for removing prefixes from global functions/classes/traits.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev pxlrbt/php-scoper-prefix-remover
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Import the required classes either manually or via composer autoloader:

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use pxlrbt\PhpScoper\PrefixRemover\IdentifierExtractor;
use pxlrbt\PhpScoper\PrefixRemover\RemovePrefixPatcher;
```

Extract the functions/classes/traits/interfaces you want the prefix removed from a stub file:

```
$identifiers = (new IdentifierExtractor())
  ->addStub('stub-file.php')
  ->extract();
```

Add the patcher in the patcher section of PHPScoper and pass the identifiers you extracted earlier:

```
'patchers' => [
    // Some patcher
    (new RemovePrefixPatcher($identifiers)),
    // More patchers
```

WordPress
---------

[](#wordpress)

For removing prefixes from WordPress functions/classes install [WordPress stubs](https://github.com/php-stubs/wordpress-stubs).

```
composer require --dev php-stubs/wordpress-stubs
```

Then add the stubs file to the extractor:

```
use pxlrbt\PhpScoper\PrefixRemover\IdentifierExtractor;

$identifiers = (new IdentifierExtractor())
  ->addStub('vendor/php-stubs/wordpress-stubs/wordpress-stubs.php')
  ->extract();
```

Specific PHP version
--------------------

[](#specific-php-version)

There might be issues with new reserved keywords (e.g. readonly as new keyword in PHP 8.1 and WordPress function name). You can set the targeted PHP version by providing a non default lexer like this:

```
use pxlrbt\PhpScoper\PrefixRemover\IdentifierExtractor;
use PhpParser\Lexer\Emulative;

$identifiers = (new IdentifierExtractor())
    ->addStub('vendor/php-stubs/wordpress-stubs/wordpress-stubs.php')
    ->setLexer(new Emulative(['phpVersion' => '8.0']))
    ->extract();
```
