Instantiate PHP Model [message #1765464]

Hi everyone,

Since there is a way to parse PHP code into an abstract syntax tree using import org.eclipse.php.internal.core.ast.nodes.ASTParser;

Is there also some kind of util to also instantiate the PHP Model correspondent to the file parsed?

Or do I have to implement my own factory with the entire Metamodel of the PHP Language Code?

Thank you very much for any incoming help!

Hi,
At the moment I'm not sure what do you want to achieve but take a look at 'DLTKCore.create' methods. You can create IModelElement from IFile or IResource. For valid php source file it should return ISourceModule with file model. It will give you info about classes, methods, functions, etc. but not info about e.g. method source structure. It's much higher level than ASTParser. Let me know if it helps you or describe what you need exactly and we will try to help you :)

Hi @Michal Niewrzal, thank you for your message.
My objective is to have a Model in Ecore correspondent to the PHP Model of the source file.
To do that I assume I have to iterate through the entire tree and instantiate each node individually in the target Ecore model?
Thank you!

To traverse over file model you can use IModelElement.accept(IModelElementVisitor) or iterate recursively over the children's. How to do rest on EMF side is your decision ;)
