+++ Library strategies
+
++++ Parallel
+Parallel strategy means double maint. burden but high freedom for due
improvements and necessary BC breaks.
+
+Example: horde/test
+
+* Keep unnamespaced PSR-0 code as-is or only make changes required by
composer.
+* Add PSR-4 PHP 7.4+ code in src/ - it may contain BC breaks and
structural changes.
+* develop new code quality measures only against the src/ version
(phpstan, member/parameter/return type hinting, strict types)
+* Convert unit tests for phpunit 9.x, use PSR-4 for unit tests, test
against the namespaced version
+* src/ Code must be php 7.4 compatible and php 8 compatible.
+
++++ Wrapper
+Wrapper strategy allows both old and new calling code to leverage the
same slightly modernized code base. However, BC breaks must be
prevented.
+
+Example: horde/components, horde/injector
+* Move code to src/ and namespace it
+* Add wrappers or child classes to lib so consuming code still works
+* Be conservative about return type hinting, parameter type hinting
and other potentially BC breaking measures
+* Convert unit tests for phpunit 9.x, use PSR-4 for unit tests, test
against the namespaced version - maybe keep some duplicate tests
against the wrapper code to prove correctness.
+* All Code must be php 7.4 compatible and php 8 compatible.
+
++++ Modern
+
+Newly developed code should only focus on the composer use case
+
+Example: horde/horde-installer-plugin, horde/http_server
+* Follow PSR-4, PSR-12, PHP 7.4+, ignore PEARisms unless they belong
to the problem domain.
+* PHPStan level 4 and higher.
+* member/parameter/return type hinting, strict types
+* Avoid mixed parameter and return type designs.
+* Avoid array constructors if it makes sense. (When switching to PHP
8, we will get named arguments)
+* src/ Code must be php 7.4 compatible and php 8 compatible.
+
++++ Keep
+
+Libraries which are essentially deprecated but kept around for H6
+
+Example: horde/controller
+
+* Only necessary changes to avoid breaking in modern PHP
+* unit tests should be PHPUnit 9 ready
++ General
* Unnamespaced code mostly follows Horde 5 Coding standards and very
little conversion requirements
-* Most of the upgrade requirements are only targeted at namespaced code
* With some necessary exceptions, Horde 6 should be able to
cooperate with Horde 5-ish apps and libraries with very little
modification for composer compat
-* Deprecate PSR-0 autoloading but don't break it intentionally.
Unconditional require/require_once/include to paths outside the
library's own lib or src dir need to check for the require'd class
first (likely breaks in H6 via composer).
+* Unconditional require/require_once/include to paths outside the

[Unnamespaced code still needs Horde_Autoloader's slightly different
approach than composer's autoloader]
* Consider: Horde 5 Framework lived out 2012-2021, I would like
Horde 6 to be intentionally shortlived, deprecating more stuff over
time.
* Allow a very smooth transition path, avoid big bang changes. [STILL TRUE]

* Composer based setup must work with all libraries we intend to
keep [SOLVED]
* [rla thinks] Deprecate Horde_Forms usage. Keep it where it is
until we can refactor, but make it clear this is a legacy concept
- * Looked into it. There's a few parts to easily refactor when
converting to namespaced, with some BC breaks but very schematic
remedy. This will reduce warnings and improve compat with newer PHPs.
It will really make Form more attractive.

++ DI / Injector and Constructors
-

As Horde has evolved over the years, we have different types of
classes, sometimes even mixed.
* Classes which implement create-on-the-fly objects with no/few
dependencies or are mostly static, e.g. Horde_Url, Horde_Date,
Horde_String
* Classes which have one or few instances to cover most or all use
cases, e.g. the DB Driver, the registry. They will typically be
provided by the injector directly or via a factory without explicit
parameters
* Messy stuff which cannot decide if it is a factory or a base class
or wants composition, e.g. Horde_Form, Horde_Rpc
* Classes which are intended as Per-Entity objects
+++ Mandatory
-
+
* Constructors SHOULD depend on interfaces or base classes, not on
the (single) implementation.
* HordeBase or App configuration SHOULD be depended on as *TODO*
object, not as array and explicitly not via global state
* Apps must not care for configuration of other apps, only theirs or
HordeBase
* Namespaced app-internal objects which implement an interface
should be registered with the injector using the class combined with
::class, e.g.
-
+
<code type="php">
// Use a factory to get an implementation
// In case the factory cannot be autowired itself, you need
to register how to get it first.

Horde\Kronolith\Calendar\Factory::class, 'create')
// In case you want a specific implementation and it can be
autowired, just bind it.
$injector->bindImplementation(Horde\Kronolith\Renderer::class,
Horde\Kronolith\Renderer\Default::class);
