UserProfile extends Intangible uses UserProfileTrait

A reusable template for provisioning a user account.

A user profile is an administrator-managed blueprint that pairs an authorization Role with the kind of business entity the account is expected to be linked to. It is not a property of a user : it is a convenience consumed once, at creation time, to wire an account in a single step — grant its role (the auth axis) and attach its business identity (the identity axis, see BusinessIdentity).

What it is (and is not)

  • It carries no per-account state. Once a user is created from a profile, the user owns its roles and its identities directly ; the profile is a creation-time gabarit, never the runtime source of truth for permissions or routing.
  • UserProfile::$role is the authorization role to grant.
  • UserProfile::$expectedType is the additionalType the linked person must match (e.g. "Seller", "CustomerEmployee"), so a server can validate the owner supplied at creation.

Extends Intangible : a profile is a definition, not an independently addressable resource. It inherits name, description, url, created/modified and the ArangoDB metadata (_key) from Thing.

Example

use xyz\oihana\schema\business\UserProfile;

$profile = new UserProfile
([
    'name'                     => 'Commercial' ,
    UserProfile::COLOR         => '#22C55E' ,
    UserProfile::ROLE          => 'seller' , // an auth Role reference
    UserProfile::EXPECTED_TYPE => 'Seller' , // expected Person additionalType
]);

Constants

COLOR

A display color for the profile (UI hint).

public string COLOR = 'color'

Related model property:

public ?string $color ;

CONTEXT

The @context of the json-ld representation of the thing.

public string CONTEXT = \xyz\oihana\schema\constants\Oihana::SCHEMA

EXPECTED_TYPE

The expected `additionalType` of the linked person (e.g. `"Seller"`).

public string EXPECTED_TYPE = 'expectedType'

Related model property:

public ?string $expectedType ;

JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS

Defines the priority order of keys when serializing the object to JSON-LD.

public array<string|int, mixed> JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS = [\org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_TYPE, \org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_CONTEXT, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_KEY, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_FROM, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_TO, \org\schema\constants\Schema::ID, \org\schema\constants\Schema::NAME, \org\schema\constants\Schema::URL, \org\schema\constants\Schema::CREATED, \org\schema\constants\Schema::MODIFIED]

Keys listed here will always appear first in the serialized array, in the order specified. All remaining public properties will be sorted alphabetically after these priority keys.

This ensures that important JSON-LD metadata and system fields (like @type, @context, _key, id, url, created, modified, etc.) appear at the top of the output for consistency and readability.

Usage:

$orderedKeys = self::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS;

Notes:

  • Can be overridden in a subclass by redefining the constant.
  • Late static binding (static::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS) allows child classes to modify the serialization order.

Parameters
$init : array<string|int, mixed>|object|null = null

A data array or object used to initialize the instance. Keys must match public property names.

Tags
throws
ReflectionException
example 
use org\schema\Person;
use org\schema\constants\Prop;

$person = new Person
([
    Prop::NAME => 'Jane Doe',
    Prop::URL  => 'https://example.com/janedoe'
]);

echo $person->name; // Outputs: Jane Doe

getJsonSerializeOptions()

Returns the default JSON serialization options.

public getJsonSerializeOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>

This method determines how the jsonSerialize() output is reduced or compressed, etc. It can be overridden in child classes to customize serialization behavior.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —

Returns the reduction/compression options for JSON serialization.

getSchemaType()

Returns the fully qualified URI of the schema type.

public static getSchemaType() : string

This method combines the class's CONTEXT constant with its short name to produce a globally unique identifier for the entity type.

  • It uses Late Static Binding to ensure the correct context is retrieved even when called from an inherited class (e.g., Corporation vs. Affiliate).
  • Performance Optimization: Results are stored in a static cache ($schemaTypeCache) to avoid redundant Reflection calls during the same execution lifecycle.
Return values
string —

The absolute URI of the type (e.g., "https://schema.org/Thing"). ** @example

echo Thing::getSchemaType();      // https://schema.org/Thing
echo Affiliate::getSchemaType();  // https://schema.oihana.xyz/Pagination

jsonSerialize()

Serializes the current object into a JSON-LD array.

public jsonSerialize() : array<string|int, mixed>

Includes public properties, the JSON-LD @context and @type. Null values are automatically removed.

Tags
throws

$person = new Person
([

]);

echo json_encode($person, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Output:

   "id": "jsmith-001",
   "name": "John Smith"
}
