class ClassMetadataFactory implements ClassMetadataFactoryInterface
Returns a {@link ClassMetadata}.
__construct(LoaderInterface $loader, Cache $cache = null) | ||
ClassMetadataInterface | getMetadataFor(string|object $value) If the method was called with the same class name (or an object of that class) before, the same metadata instance is returned. | |
bool | hasMetadataFor(mixed $value) Checks if class has metadata. |
If the method was called with the same class name (or an object of that class) before, the same metadata instance is returned.
If the factory was configured with a cache, this method will first look for an existing metadata instance in the cache. If an existing instance is found, it will be returned without further ado.
Otherwise, a new metadata instance is created. If the factory was configured with a loader, the metadata is passed to the {@link \Symfony\Component\Serializer\Mapping\Loader\LoaderInterface::loadClassMetadata()} method for further configuration. At last, the new object is returned.
Checks if class has metadata.
