Stanislav created THRIFT-5082:
---------------------------------
Summary: Add a Class reference for PHP enum $_TSPEC
Key: THRIFT-5082
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5082
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PHP - Compiler
Reporter: Stanislav
Currently we are losing the connection between the structure enum parameter
value and the enum definition itself in PHP.
The following thrift parameter which is using GroupType enum:
{code:java}
5: required GroupType group_type;{code}
Is compiled to PHP:
{code:java}
5 => array(
'var' => 'group_type',
'isRequired' => true,
'type' => TType::I32,
),{code}
Which means that we cannot say on PHP side if that is a regular *i32* or an
*enum*.
*Why do I need that?*
I am using lowercase enum values instead of integers in database and on the
frontend. Currently converting them by manually specifying the Enum Classes for
enum parameters for each Structure which is not scalable, more difficult to
maintain and growing over time.
This also makes it impossible to validate fields by Enum values on php side.
