Composer autoload file before loading dependencies - function

One of the vendor packages I'm requiring exposes a function by autoloading it:
{
...
"autoload": {
...
"files": [
"functions.php"
]
}
}
Unfortunately it lacks multilingual support.
As I really like the function's fluent definition and I already have a drop-in multilingual alternative., I would like to use my drop-in replacement instead while still using the same function name. Luckily the package has implemented a function_exists() check, so I just need to declare my function before the package is autoloaded.
I know I could just reference a require before requiring Composer's autoloader, but are there any composer.json alternatives to accomplish this? Is there any way I can tell Composer to load a specific file first, before anything else?
More specifically I'm looking to override Laravel's unlocalized now() function to a localizable version. Since this question is also applicable to other applications and/or dependencies I kept my question quite generic.

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'define' on 'CustomElementRegistry': this name has already been used with this registry

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'define' on 'CustomElementRegistry': this name has already been used with this registry
at http://127.0.0.1:8000/components/#polymer/polymer/lib/elements/dom-module.js:175:16
Tried deleting node-modules and package-lock and reinstalling did not work.
this error is due to a custom element tag-name being registered which is already registered; to fix simply check that an element by this name hasn't already been registered. This example solution checks to see if something is already registered using the existing API and if not, registers the given Class (inheriting from/extending HTMLElement--at some point):
customElements.get('the-element') || customElements.define('the-element', HTMLTheElement);
For more on the API see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/CustomElementRegistry
most/mature libraries address this problem and those that don't, or are mangled by package and build process complexities can have it pop up; in most cases either updating to a current version, migrating to Lit (https://lit.dev) or patching the problem somehow provides a path to a solution; note the simpler solutions are far easier to maintain--as can be seen in the conflation of npm, polymer over the actual error in the original question; the Polymer project became lit-html and LitElement, and recently rebranded as "Lit" (and still includes these lit-things). Professionally I'm migrating away from npm and Nodejs to Deno with the aim of generally resolve the many problems related to npm and tooling insecurity and complexity, however this answer provides a more direct solution (understand the problem and fix directly, or update to the relevant latest solution which includes this somehow).
Well, this worked for me, with no Typescript warnings,
if (!customElements.get('the-element')) { customElements.define('the-element', HTMLTheElement); }
Hope someone will find this useful.
Cheers.
It is unwise to use the answers above. You want it to fail! The reason being is that your NPM should be deduping duplicate packages, so the fact that you see a certain component being defined on the custom elements registry more than once is a crucial error that you need to debug why the same component is registered more than once.
How to debug, in short, go to your browser, inspect element, network tab, refresh, figure out which files are both registering the same element. Then check in the initiator to see which files are loading those files. Then you get a way better idea of why your app is not resolving the same import to a single place (your deduped dependency).
One reason why you might face this problem is due to semver. If you have multiple different major versions of the same dependency, NPM cannot just dedupe all of the installations to your root node_modules. How you solve this is up to you. Some people use npm-aliases for their different majors of a dependency, some people implement a plugin in their build-tool to resolve paths to a single installation, etc.
For people that can't use #jimmonts answer because the issue is in one of their dependencies you can use the following snippet:
This happens for us, because a package we are using defines an element. But this package is used by multiple apps. And these apps, wouldn't you know it, interact. So customElements.define('x-tag', className) gets called multiple times. And the second time it does, it crashes the app.
function safeDecorator(fn) {
// eslint-disable-next-line func-names
return function(...args) {
try {
return fn.apply(this, args);
} catch (error) {
if (
error instanceof DOMException &&
error.message.includes('has already been used with this registry')
) {
return false;
}
throw error;
}
};
}
customElements.define = safeDecorator(customElements.define);
I was getting the same error. You may not have the same issue as me but I thought I would drop my solution here just incase someone runs into the same issue in the future.
I had two modules that both imported the same custom element module, one of the was importing Module.js and the other module.js. Now the browser saw this as two separate files because URLs can be case sensitive, except my server saw this as one file because it is not case sensitive (express.js) or at least it was able to resolve the path to the correct file even with the incorrect case. And so the browser saw two "different" modules both defining the same custom element, but when I searched my source code only one file was defining the custom element.
I had this problem and found out that I was calling on my boundle.js file twice. Since I was using Webpack and HtmlWebpackPlugin, HtmlWebpackPlugin added the reference to my boundled file to my index.html file where I had already referenced it by hand.
I developed a solution, thats overrite the define with a precheck before define. It works fine for me, just ad the 2 lines into your index.js
customElements.defineclone = Object.assign(Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(customElements)).define, customElements);
customElements.define = (name, element) => customElements.get(name) || customElements.defineclone(name, element);

Yii2: differences between init() and bootstrap() and best place to add dynamical URLs on a module

I dont understand exactly what is the difference between use init() and bootstrap() on a class.
My case:
I want to add dynamical urls from my module by using Yii::$app->urlManager->addRules(...) but NOT loading the module in order to improve the performance.
So, I thought if bootstraping the module from the main configuration file like: 'bootstrap' => ['mymodule'], the Module::bootstrap() function will be executed ONLY and exclusively. But actually always runs Module::init() function, and then Module::bootstrap().
On this documentation http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-runtime-routing.html#adding-rules say:
'Note that you should also list these modules in yii\web\Application::bootstrap() so that they can participate the bootstrapping process.'
But Module::bootstrap() is not executed if the module is listed on yii\web\Application::bootstrap()
I want to set only the dynamic rules with no module loading. How is it possible? What is the best place to set dynamical URLs with no impact to performance?
i decide resolve this issue(adding dynamic rules for module) by watching working extensions.
for example https://github.com/dmstr/yii2-pages-module extension uses bootstrap interface.
don`t forget write in composer.json "type" attribute as "yii2-extension".

Make PhpStorm add a warning if calling a function with more arguments than declared

Using PhpStorm 8.0.3.
Let's say I have this function:
public function myFunction($argA, $argB) {
// ...
}
And I'm calling it from somewhere else in the project with one extra argument, like:
$myClass->myFunction($arg1, $arg2, $arg3);
I know this is not considered an error in PHP, and it can be useful in some scenarios... but it is wrong according to my own coding standards, so I just wanted to know if there's a way to make PhpStorm to warn me if I'm doing it somewhere...
You cannot do anything about it in PhpStorm v8.0.3.
But PhpStorm v9 already has separate inspection for that. If you want -- try v9 EAP build now.

how to force compiler compile all classes in my project?

im using Adobe® Flash® Builder™ 4.6,the problem also exist in previous versions.
for some reason ,i am using
cls = applicationDomain.getDefinition(name) as Class;
to get the object's constructor and then create the instance of my modules class.thus make compile ignore my module classes ,because they are not related from my main class.how to force else classes also compiled into my swf or swc file? i didn't find where i can adjust my compile option.
by now i use this way to solve my problem,at the very beginning of the program entry.
if(1+1==3){
//never be run but do make classes merge into swf files.
new MyModule();
}
i have hundreds of modules like this one,i do hope i can find a way to solve this problem permanently
You can try with this
package
{
public class IncludeClasses
{
import com.abc.db.Database;Database;
import com.abc.logs.RemoteLogTarget; RemoteLogTarget;
import com.abc.logs.LocalLogTarget; LocalLogTarget;
import com.abc.exception.GlobalExceptionHandler; GlobalExceptionHandler;
import com.abc.utils.NetConnectionMonitor;NetConnectionMonitor;
}
}
You need to use the class to get it to compile in the swf.
Not the best method but
private var someVar:someClass;
Using the "new" keyword will cause the run-time to allocate memory for the object so you don't want to use that.
This whole loading modules and compiling classes has a code smell to it.
You would be better off having your classes in the modules implement an interface.
You need at least one strict reference to your class to appear within the project. I use a static variable of type Array to stuff all of the classes I need, and never really reference that array, if I can.
private static var dummy:Array=[OneClass, AnotherClass, Class01, Etc];
You can also do this by setting your compiler flag.
About the application compiler options
See:
include-libraries library [...]
Include only classes that are inheritance dependencies of classes that
are included with the include-classes compiler option.
The default value is false.
This is an advanced option. You might use this compiler option if you
are creating a custom RSL and want to externalize as many classes as
possible. For example:
compc -include-classes mx.collections.ListCollectionView
-include-inheritance-dependencies-only=true
-source-path . -output lcv2 -directory

MEF: "Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions for more information"

Scenario: I am using Managed Extensibility Framework to load plugins (exports) at runtime based on an interface contract defined in a separate dll. In my Visual Studio solution, I have 3 different projects: The host application, a class library (defining the interface - "IPlugin") and another class library implementing the interface (the export - "MyPlugin.dll").
The host looks for exports in its own root directory, so during testing, I build the whole solution and copy Plugin.dll from the Plugin class library bin/release folder to the host's debug directory so that the host's DirectoryCatalog will find it and be able to add it to the CompositionContainer. Plugin.dll is not automatically copied after each rebuild, so I do that manually each time I've made changes to the contract/implementation.
However, a couple of times I've run the host application without having copied (an updated) Plugin.dll first, and it has thrown an exception during composition:
Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions for more information
This is of course due to the fact that the Plugin.dll it's trying to import from implements a different version of IPlugin, where the property/method signatures don't match. Although it's easy to avoid this in a controlled and monitored environment, by simply avoiding (duh) obsolete IPlugin implementations in the plugin folder, I cannot rely on such assumptions in the production environment, where legacy plugins could be encountered.
The problem is that this exception effectively botches the whole Compose action and no exports are imported. I would have preferred that the mismatching IPlugin implementations are simply ignored, so that other exports in the catalog(s), implementing the correct version of IPlugin, are still imported.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm thinking either of several potential options:
There is a flag to set on the CompositionContainer ("ignore failing imports") prior to or when calling Compose
There is a similar flag to specify on the <ImportMany()> attribute
There is a way to "hook" on to the iteration process underlying Compose(), and be able to deal with each (failed) import individually
Using strong name signing to somehow only look for imports implementing the current version of IPlugin
Ideas?
I have also run into a similar problem.
If you are sure that you want to ignore such "bad" assemblies, then the solution is to call AssemblyCatalog.Parts.ToArray() right after creating each assembly catalog. This will trigger the ReflectionTypeLoadException which you mention. You then have a chance to catch the exception and ignore the bad assembly.
When you have created AssemblyCatalog objects for all the "good" assemblies, you can aggregate them in an AggregateCatalog and pass that to the CompositionContainer constructor.
This issue can be caused by several factors (any exceptions on the loaded assemblies), like the exception says, look at the ExceptionLoader to (hopefully) get some idea
Another problem/solution that I found, is when using DirectoryCatalog, if you don't specify the second parameter "searchPattern", MEF will load ALL the dlls in that folder (including third party), and start looking for export types, that can also cause this issue, a solution is to have a convention name on all the assemblies that export types, and specify that in the DirectoryCatalog constructor, I use *_Plugin.dll, that way MEF will only load assemblies that contain exported types
In my case MEF was loading a NHibernate dll and throwing some assembly version error on the LoaderException (this error can happen with any of the dlls in the directory), this approach solved the problem
Here is an example of above mentioned methods:
var di = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("../../bin/"));
if (!di.Exists) throw new Exception("Folder not exists: " + di.FullName);
var dlls = di.GetFileSystemInfos("*.dll");
AggregateCatalog agc = new AggregateCatalog();
foreach (var fi in dlls)
{
try
{
var ac = new AssemblyCatalog(Assembly.LoadFile(fi.FullName));
var parts = ac.Parts.ToArray(); // throws ReflectionTypeLoadException
agc.Catalogs.Add(ac);
}
catch (ReflectionTypeLoadException ex)
{
Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);
}
}
CompositionContainer cc = new CompositionContainer(agc);
_providers = cc.GetExports<IDataExchangeProvider>();
