Wrapping all methods of a controller in Recess - php

Question

In recess, I have a controller
/**
* !RespondsWith Layouts
* !Prefix user/
*/
class UserController extends Controller
{
......
}
I want to wrap all methods of the UserController using Iwrapper. I know how to wrap method of a normal class using IWrapper. But in the case of the controller, i 'm not being able to do it because the UserController is not instantiated and its methods are called automatically by the recess controller.

You can use annotations to add a wrapper to the controller class. For instance, I have a controller "nas"
/**
* !RespondsWith Json,CSV
* !Prefix nas/
*/
class NasController extends Controller {
/**
* !Route GET
* !VerifyPermission Module: data, Permission: read, UnauthorizedAction: noEntry
*/
function index() {
}
}
The VerifyPermission annotation will add a wrapper in the expand method
Library::import('recess.lang.Annotation');
Library::import('cirrusWorks.wrappers.VerifyPermissionWrapper');
class VerifyPermissionAnnotation extends Annotation {
protected function expand($class, $reflection, $descriptor) {
$module = $this->module;
$permission = $this->permission;
$unauthorizedAction = $this->unauthorizedaction;
$descriptor->addWrapper('serve',new VerifyPermissionWrapper($module,$permission,$unauthorizedAction, $reflection->getName()));
/* ... */
return $descriptor;
}
}
Then you can create the VerifyPermissionWrapper and the standard methods will be wrapped around your class method (before(), after(), combine())
class VerifyPermissionWrapper implements IWrapper {
function __construct($module, $permission, $action, $method) {
$this->module = $module;
$this->permission = $permission;
$this->action = $action;
$this->method = $method;
}
function before($controller, &$args) {
error_log('Before {$this->action} on {$this->method}');
}
}
