Utilities to work with the singleton pattern
Getting started
Installation
This library can be installed using composer, if you don't have it already, download it.
You can either run this command :
composer require delights/singleton
Or by adding a requirement in your composer.json
:
{ "require": { "delights/singleton": "1.0.0" } }
Don't forget to run composer install
after adding the requirement.
Disclaimer
Most of the time, you don't want to use a Singleton, most of the time it's a bad practice. It just as bad as using global variables. But this pattern exists for a reason, it can be useful! I assume that you know what you're doing and using a singleton is the best solution for your problem.
Singleton
Use it on any class you want to transform into a singleton and there you are, it's done!
Let me show you a small example.
use \Delight\Singleton\Singleton; class MySingleton { use Singleton; } MySingleton::getInstance() // will always return the same instance
Non Cloneable
You may want to prevent cloning. There is a simple trait for that. Let me show you an example.
use Delight\Singleton\NotCloneable; class SomeClass { use NotCloneable; } $instance = new SomeClass(); clone $instance // throws an NonCloneableException
Not constructable
You may want to prevent constructing the object at all (excepted in the getInstance
method or any object methods).
This applies for child classes as well
use Delight\Singleton\NotConstructable; class SomeOtherClass { use NotConstructable; } $someOtherClass = new SomeOtherClass(); // throws an Error, SomeOtherClass is protected
You may think that this behavior is inconsistent regarding of how the cloning prevention works. However, this is the simplest way to achieve this without touching at the backtrace.
