Fix for json fields containing a dollar sign (Issue #59)

[mrbig]

This PR contains a proposed fix for issue #59

I've noticed that the current escaping is custom tailored for the "pattern" key, which contains a regular expression.

I understand that those need special treatment and a standalone $ sign is not expected(?) there. But other fields (titles, description, ids) could contain dollar signs at any positions.

I've added unit tests and made sure everything else works as well.

Please review this PR and add any suggestions.

1. Overview

1.1 PR Summary

• Business value and requirements alignment: This PR fixes an issue where JSON fields containing a dollar sign cause an undefined variable error. Resolving this issue ensures that the library can handle a wider range of JSON schemas without errors.
• Key components modified: src/JsonSchema/SchemaBuilder.php
• Impact assessment: The fix affects the JSON schema parsing and PHP code generation processes, impacting all JSON fields that contain dollar signs.
• System dependencies and integration impacts: The change might have implications for other parts of the system that rely on these generated classes.

1.2 Architecture Changes

• System design modifications: N/A
• Component interactions: The fix interacts with the JSON schema parsing and PHP code generation processes.
• Integration points: N/A

2. Detailed Technical Analysis

2.1 Code Logic Deep-Dive

Core Logic Changes

• src/JsonSchema/SchemaBuilder.php - public static function setUpProperties($properties, Schema $ownerSchema)
  • Submitted PR Code:

    $export = '"' . str_replace(array('\\', "\n", "", "\t", '"', '$'), array('\\\\', '\n', '', '\t', '\"', '\$'), $value) . '"';

• Analysis:
  • The current logic replaces all occurrences of $ with \$ for string values in JSON schema fields, except for the "pattern" key.
  • This change introduces a switch statement to handle different escaping rules for the "pattern" key versus other fields.
  • The fix assumes that dollar signs in the "pattern" key follow regular expression escaping rules, which might not always be the case.
• LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:

    $export = match ($key) {
      'pattern' => '"' . preg_quote($value, '"') . '"',
      default => '"' . str_replace(array('\\', "\n", "", "\t", '"', '$'), array('\\\\', '\n', '', '\t', '\"', '\$'), $value) . '"',
    };

• Improvement rationale:

  • Using preg_quote ensures that the escaping rules for the "pattern" key follow regular expression escaping rules correctly.
  • The match statement provides a more modern and readable syntax for handling different cases.
  • This improvement ensures consistency and correctness in escaping rules for both the "pattern" key and other fields.

• src/JsonSchema/SchemaBuilder.php - public static function setUpProperties($properties, Schema $ownerSchema)

  • Submitted PR Code:

    $ownerSchema->description = "Description with \$dollar sign";

• Analysis:
  • The current logic sets the description property of the ownerSchema object using the escaped string.
  • However, the description is not used anywhere in the generated PHP code, so escaping the dollar sign is not necessary.
• LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:

    $ownerSchema->description = "Description with $dollar sign";

• Improvement rationale:
  • Removing the escaping of the dollar sign in the description property simplifies the code and makes it more readable.
  • Since the description is not used in the generated PHP code, escaping the dollar sign is not required.

5.2 Test Recommendations

Suggested Test Cases

  // Test case for the "pattern" key with a regular expression pattern
  $schemaJson = <<<'JSON'
  {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "foo": {
        "type": "string",
        "pattern": "/\\d+/"
      }
    }
  }
  JSON;

  // Test case for a string field with a dollar sign at the beginning
  $schemaJson = <<<'JSON'
  {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "foo": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "Description with $dollar sign"
      }
    }
  }
  JSON;

  // Test case for a string field with a dollar sign at the end
  $schemaJson = <<<'JSON'
  {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "foo": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "Description with dollar sign$"
