DeliveryRouteTerm extends ThesaurusTerm uses DeliveryRouteTermTrait
A delivery route : the recurring circuit an own-fleet vehicle runs — leaving a given warehouse, on given days of the week, to serve the addresses assigned to it.
Where DeliveryMethodTerm answers how an order travels (counter pick-up, carrier, own fleet) and what that costs, this term answers on which passage it travels. The two are orthogonal : a dozen routes may all be run under the single "own fleet" method, and a route carries no charge of its own.
A back office maintains this list alongside its other reference data, which is
why the class is a ThesaurusTerm first — referenced by its id from
sites and business documents, and enriched here with the two values that
describe the circuit itself.
The days a route runs
byDay holds the days the vehicle is on the road, as DayOfWeek
constants — the vocabulary Schedule::$byDay uses, so a consumer that
already reads schedules reads a route with the same code.
An empty list is meaningful and must be kept : a route defined but not yet
scheduled runs no day at all, which is not the same thing as null (nothing
was said about its days).
Beware of the distinction with DeliveryRouteAssignment::$byDay, which is narrower : this property says when the route runs, the assignment says when it serves one given address. The second is always a subset of the first.
Where the route departs from
assignedPOS names the warehouse the vehicle leaves from — the same word, and
the same shape, Customer::$assignedPOS
uses for the point of sale a customer is attached to. It holds the raw
warehouse reference as read, or the resolved Warehouse once the
reference data has been joined.
null means no warehouse is assigned : back offices commonly encode that
absence as a zero, which a consumer normalizes away on ingestion rather than
letting a route claim to depart from a warehouse that does not exist.
Example
use org\schema\enumerations\DayOfWeek;
use xyz\oihana\schema\thesaurus\DeliveryRouteTerm;
$route = new DeliveryRouteTerm
([
'id' => '01D' ,
'name' => 'West coast, midweek' ,
DeliveryRouteTerm::ASSIGNED_POS => '1' ,
DeliveryRouteTerm::BY_DAY => [ DayOfWeek::WEDNESDAY , DayOfWeek::FRIDAY ] ,
]);

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.

Methods
__construct()
Constructor to hydrate public properties from an array or stdClass.
public
__construct([array<string|int, mixed>|object|null $init = null ]) : mixed
This allows objects to be quickly populated with associative data without manually setting each property.
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
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
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —JSON-LD representation of the object.
withAtContext()

public
withAtContext(string $context) : $this
Useful if you need a custom JSON-LD context.
Parameters
- $context : string
-
Optional JSON-LD context.
Return values
$thiswithAtType()
Sets the internal JSON-LD `@type` attribute.
public
withAtType(string $type) : $this
Allows overriding the default type inferred from the class.
Parameters
- $type : string
-
Optional JSON-LD type
Return values
$thiswithJSONLDMeta()
Initializes both JSON-LD metadata: `@type` and `@context`.
public
withJSONLDMeta([string|null $atType = null ][, string|null $atContext = null ]) : $this
Can be called from constructor or later to override default values.
Parameters
- $atType : string|null = null
-
Optional JSON-LD type
- $atContext : string|null = null
-
Optional JSON-LD context
