XHP<?hhrequire_once('lib/init.php');$class = "greeting";$subject = "Toronto & area";$body = <p class={$class}>$hello {ucwords($subject)}</p>;echo <x:doctype> <html> <head><title>Hello XHP</title></head> <body>{$body}</body> </html></x:doctype>;
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Hello XHP</title></head><body> <p class="greeting">$hello Toronto & Area</p></body></html>
XHP
XHP emits HTML without
the whitespace andformatting. I’ve added
itfor readability.
<?hhrequire_once('lib/init.php');$list = <ul />;for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i += 1) { $list->appendChild(<li>{date('l', time() + $i * 86400)}</li>);}echo $list;
<ul> <li>Monday</li> <li>Tuesday</li> <li>Wednesday</li> <li>Thursday</li> <li>Friday</li> <li>Saturday</li> <li>Sunday</li></ul>
XHP
• Available for Zend PHP too!
• See https://github.com/facebook/xhp
• Can use HTML() to emit unescaped HTML but don’t.

Old School Arrays
Can you spot the difference between
the Hack and PHP results?
<?php$v = array("zero", “one”);
$v[] = 2;
array_push($v, count($v));
unset($v[0]);
print_r($v); [1] => "one"[2] => 2[3] => 3
[0] => “zero"[1] => “one"[0] => "zero"[1] => "one"[2] => 2[0] => "zero"[1] => "one"[2] => 2[3] => 3
Vectors
• Always 0 .. (count -1)
• Values are not hashed / indexed
• Use Sets for this
• Can use [] to append, but not unset() to remove
PairPair Object( [0] => Pair Object ( [0] => Batman [1] => Robin ) [1] => xhp_p Object ( [tagName:protected] => p [attributes:xhp_x__composable_element:private] => Array () [children:xhp_x__composable_element:private] => Array ( [0] => The dynamic Duo ) [source] => /home/vic/prog/presentation/collections/pair.php:4 ))
<?hhrequire_once('../lib/init.php');$dynamicDuo = Pair {'Batman', 'Robin'};$p = Pair {$dynamicDuo, <p>The dynamic Duo</p>};print_r($p);
Pair
• Pairs must contain two items of any type
• Pairs are always immutable
• Items are accessed with [0] and [1]
Map
Map Object( [CA] => Canada [US] => United States [MX] => Mexico [NI] => Nicaragua)
<?hh$map = Map { 'CA' => 'Canada', 'US' => 'United States'};$map->add(Pair {'MX', 'Mexico'});$map['NI'] = 'Nicaragua';print_r($map);
Map
• Maps contain key / value Pairs
• Keys can only be integers or strings
• Values can be of any type
• Order is preserved
Set
HH\Set Object( US CA MX NI Has Canada)
• Can only contain integers orstrings
• Unordered
<?hh$s = Set {'US', 'CA'};$s->add('MX');$s[] = 'NI';$s[] = ($s->contains('CA') ? 'Has' : 'Lacks') . ' Canada';print_r($s);

$rc = new ReflectionFunction('bar');print_r($rc->getAttributes());
Array( [MyAnnotation] => Array ( [0] => Unicorn [1] => 42 )

User Attributes
• You can add attributes / annotations to classes, methods, functions and arguments.
• You can specify more than one set of user attributes:<< Foo(1), Bar(2) >>
• You can’t use constants or variables in attributes
Async
• I lied; hhvm’s async is more c# than node.
• Library functions like evhttp_async_get() don’t return Awaitable’s
• So they don’t seem to play well together
• PocketRent/beatbox uses async, but I don’t grock it
class Foo{}
class Bar { public function getFoo(): Foo { return new Foo(); }}
async function gen_foo(int $a): Awaitable<?Foo> { if ($a === 0) { return null; }
$bar = await gen_bar($a); if ($bar !== null) { return $bar->getFoo(); }
return null;}
Async
async function gen_bar(int $a): Awaitable<?Bar> { if ($a === 0) { return null; }
return new Bar();}
gen_foo(4);
This is the exampleFacebook provided on GitHub for async.
