chillerlan/php-settings-container
A container class for immutable settings objects. Not a DI container. PHP 7.2+
SettingsContainerInterface
provides immutable properties with magic getter & setter and some fancy
Documentation
Installation
requires composer
composer.json (note: replace dev-master
with a version boundary)
{
"require": {
"php": "^7.2",
"chillerlan/php-settings-container": "^1.0"
}
}
Manual installation
Download the desired version of the package from master or release and extract the contents to your project folder. After that:
- run
composer install
to install the required dependencies and generate/vendor/autoload.php
. - if you use a custom autoloader, point the namespace
chillerlan\Settings
to the foldersrc
of the package
Profit!
Usage
The SettingsContainerInterface
(wrapped inSettingsContainerAbstract
) provides plug-in functionality for immutable object variables and adds some fancy, like loading/saving JSON, arrays etc.
It takes iterable as the only constructor argument and calls a method with the trait's name on invocation (MyTrait::MyTrait()
) for each used trait.
Simple usage
class MyContainer extends SettingsContainerAbstract{
protected $foo;
protected $bar;
}
// 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"}
//non-existing properties will be ignored:
$container->nope = 'what';
var_dump($container->nope); // -> null
Advanced usage
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
}
$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"
API
SettingsContainerAbstract
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) |

mixed | implements the JsonSerializable 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.
