ARTEX EXCEPTIONS
^{Custom PHP Exceptions Library}

A simple, consistent library for creating and managing exceptions in PHP projects.

The Artex Standard Exceptions Library provides a basic, flexible way to handle exceptions in your PHP applications. Built to align with good practices, it simplifies exception management and adds a touch of consistency to your projects.

While this library isn't aiming to reinvent the wheel, it serves as a standard tool for PHP projects under the Artex Software ecosystem, ensuring reliability and clarity for developers.

 

Key Features

• Custom Exceptions: Extendable exceptions for common use cases (e.g., runtime errors, validation errors, database errors).
• PSR-4 Compliant: Easy integration into modern PHP projects.
• Contextual Data: Include optional context information for better debugging.
• Extensibility: Provides a foundation to build project-specific exceptions.

 

 

Installation

composer "require artex/exceptions"

 

Usage

Basic Example

use Artex\Exceptions\ArtexRuntimeException;

try {
    throw new ArtexRuntimeException("Something went wrong!", 500);
} catch (ArtexRuntimeException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Adding Context to Exceptions

use Artex\Exceptions\ArtexException;

try {
    throw new ArtexException(
        "Validation failed!",
        422,
        ['field' => 'email', 'error' => 'Invalid format']
    );
} catch (ArtexException $e) {
    // Access additional context
    var_dump($e->getContext());
}

Extending Exceptions

You can easily extend any Artex exception to create project-specific exceptions:

namespace MyApp\Exceptions;

use Artex\Exceptions\ArtexRuntimeException;

class CustomException extends ArtexRuntimeException
{
    public function __construct(string $message = "", int $code = 0, array $context = [])
    {
        parent::__construct($message, $code, $context);
    }
}

Logging Exceptions

The library can seamlessly log exceptions if a PSR-3 compatible logger is available:

use Artex\Exceptions\ArtexRuntimeException;
use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;

// Set up a PSR-3 logger
$logger = new Logger('example');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://stdout', Logger::DEBUG));

// Register the logger
ArtexRuntimeException::registerLogger($logger);

try {
    throw new ArtexRuntimeException("Critical failure", 500);
} catch (ArtexRuntimeException $e) {
    // Exception is automatically logged
    echo "Exception logged: " . $e->getMessage();
}

 

Available Exceptions

The library ships with the following prebuilt exceptions:

Exception Class	Description
ArtexException	Base exception class for all custom exceptions.
ArtexRuntimeException	For runtime errors.
ArtexInvalidArgumentException	For invalid arguments passed to functions.
ArtexLogicException	For logical errors in the application.
ArtexUnexpectedValueException	For unexpected values in operations.
ValidationException	For validation-specific errors.
DatabaseException	For database-related errors.
FileException	For file-related errors.

 

Advanced Usage

Extending Exceptions

use Artex\Exceptions\ArtexRuntimeException;

class CustomException extends ArtexRuntimeException

    public function __construct(string $message = "", int $code = 0, array $context = [])
    {
        parent::__construct($message, $code, $context);
    }
}
