2022-07-02 14:01:51 +00:00
A container class for immutable settings objects. Not a DI container. PHP 7.4+
- [`SettingsContainerInterface` ](https://github.com/chillerlan/php-settings-container/blob/main/src/SettingsContainerInterface.php ) provides immutable properties with magic getter & setter and some fancy - decouple configuration logic from your application!

## Documentation
### Installation
**requires [composer ](https://getcomposer.org )**
2022-07-02 14:01:51 +00:00
*composer.json* (note: replace `dev-main` with a [version constraint ](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md#writing-version-constraints ), e.g. `^2.1` - see [releases ](https://github.com/chillerlan/php-settings-container/releases ) for valid versions)
2021-02-26 16:16:17 +00:00
```json
{
"require": {
2022-07-12 19:26:21 +00:00
"php": "^7.4 || ^8.0",
2022-07-02 14:01:51 +00:00
"chillerlan/php-settings-container": "dev-main"

}
}
```
Profit!
## Usage
2021-11-15 15:33:35 +00:00
The `SettingsContainerInterface` (wrapped in`SettingsContainerAbstract` ) provides plug-in functionality for immutable object properties and adds some fancy, like loading/saving JSON, arrays etc.
It takes an `iterable` as the only constructor argument and calls a method with the trait's name on invocation (`MyTrait::MyTrait()`) for each used trait.
2021-02-26 16:16:17 +00:00
### Simple usage
```php
class MyContainer extends SettingsContainerAbstract{
protected $foo;
protected $bar;
}
```
2021-11-15 15:33:35 +00:00
Typed properties in PHP 7.4+:
```php
class MyContainer extends SettingsContainerAbstract{
protected string $foo;
protected string $bar;
}
```
2021-02-26 16:16:17 +00:00
```php
// use it just like a \stdClass
$container = new MyContainer;
$container->foo = 'what';
$container->bar = 'foo';
// which is equivalent to
$container = new MyContainer(['bar' => 'foo', 'foo' => 'what']);
// ...or try
$container->fromJSON('{"foo": "what", "bar": "foo"}');
// fetch all properties as array
$container->toArray(); // -> ['foo' => 'what', 'bar' => 'foo']
// or JSON
$container->toJSON(); // -> {"foo": "what", "bar": "foo"}
2021-11-15 15:33:35 +00:00
// JSON via JsonSerializable
$json = json_encode($container); // -> {"foo": "what", "bar": "foo"}
2021-02-26 16:16:17 +00:00
//non-existing properties will be ignored:
$container->nope = 'what';
var_dump($container->nope); // -> null
```
### Advanced usage
```php
trait SomeOptions{
protected $foo;
protected $what;
// this method will be called in SettingsContainerAbstract::construct()
// after the properties have been set
protected function SomeOptions(){
// just some constructor stuff...
$this->foo = strtoupper($this->foo);
}
// this method will be called from __set() when property $what is set
protected function set_what(string $value){
$this->what = md5($value);
}
}
trait MoreOptions{
protected $bar = 'whatever'; // provide default values
}
```
```php
$commonOptions = [
// SomeOptions
'foo' => 'whatever',
// MoreOptions
'bar' => 'nothing',
];
// now plug the several library options together to a single object
$container = new class ($commonOptions) extends SettingsContainerAbstract{
use SomeOptions, MoreOptions;
};
var_dump($container->foo); // -> WHATEVER (constructor ran strtoupper on the value)
var_dump($container->bar); // -> nothing
$container->what = 'some value';
var_dump($container->what); // -> md5 hash of "some value"
```

#### [`SettingsContainerAbstract`](https://github.com/chillerlan/php-settings-container/blob/main/src/SettingsContainerAbstract.php)
2021-02-26 16:16:17 +00:00
method | return | info
-------- | ---- | -----------
`__construct(iterable $properties = null)` | - | calls `construct()` internally after the properties have been set
(protected) `construct()` | void | calls a method with trait name as replacement constructor for each used trait
`__get(string $property)` | mixed | calls `$this->{'get_'.$property}()` if such a method exists
`__set(string $property, $value)` | void | calls `$this->{'set_'.$property}($value)` if such a method exists
`__isset(string $property)` | bool |
`__unset(string $property)` | void |
`__toString()` | string | a JSON string
`toArray()` | array |
`fromIterable(iterable $properties)` | `SettingsContainerInterface` |
`toJSON(int $jsonOptions = null)` | string | accepts [JSON options constants ](http://php.net/manual/json.constants.php )
`fromJSON(string $json)` | `SettingsContainerInterface` |
`jsonSerialize()` | mixed | implements the [`JsonSerializable` ](https://www.php.net/manual/en/jsonserializable.jsonserialize.php ) interface
## Disclaimer
This might be either an utterly genius or completely stupid idea - you decide. However, i like it and it works.
Also, this is not a dependency injection container. Stop using DI containers FFS.
