README

Advanced switch statements as classes

Description

This package provides classes that wrap similar logic to a switch statement into object-instances.

You provide several callbacks together with their key and subsequently call the instance like a method. (there is also a static one-method-call)

This enables you to abstract away commonly used switching-logic, dynamically construct the cases or maybe even inject some conditional as dependency e.g. in DI or Strategy-Patterns

Along the Abstraction this package ships:

• SwitchByIsA -> Keys are Interfaces (FQCN), prioritized by order of added callbacks (first wins)
• SwitchByType -> Keys are inbuilt types or FQCNs, FQCNs have higher priority
• SwitchByValue -> Keys are the values
• SwitchBySubstring -> Keys are substrings of the passed value; prioritized by order of added callbacks (first wins)

You can also easily implementing your own CallbackSwitches by extending the AbstractCallbackSwitch and implementing the only abstract method to choose which callback to use

Installation

Require this package with composer require rikta/callback-switch

Usage

Cases

Regardless of your concrete call you provide your cases as callables with an associated key.

The callable will get the $value as first parameter, and ...$extra for the rest of it.

What you have to choose for the key depends on the type of switch you are using. e.g. if you use SwitchByValue it must match the exact (string)$value, if you use SwitchByType it must match the type or class of $value

with Instance

Create

You can create a class implementing CallbackSwitch with an optional ['key' => fn($value, ...$extra)] array.

$exampleSwitch = new SwitchByType([
    SwitchByType::string => staticfn($value) => ('Hello ' . $value),
    SwitchByType::int => staticfn($value) => ('Hello Agent '. $value),
])

Add Cases

You can add cases to a CallbackSwitchInstance with addCase($key, $callable)

$exampleSwitch->addCase(SwitchByType::array, fn($value) => ('Hello ' . implode(' and ', $value)))

Make optional

By default, a CallbackSwitch shall throw an exception if neither a matching case was found, nor a default was provided.

If you mark the instance as "optional" null will be returned instead.

There are two ways to mark an instance as optional:

• You can pass true as second argument to the constructor

$exampleSwitch = new SwitchByType([...], true)

• You can call setOptional() on the instance

$exampleSwitch->setOptional()

Invoke

Every class implementing SwitchCallback is invokable, as if it would be a method.

Pass your $value as first parameter, it will be used to determine the case and passed to the callback. Any extraneous parameters you pass here will be passed to the callback as well.

echo $exampleSwitch(['Anna', 'Bob']);

Full example

$exampleSwitch = new SwitchByType([
    SwitchByType::string => staticfn($value) => ('Hello ' . $value),
    SwitchByType::int => staticfn($value) => ('Hello Agent '. $value),
]);

$exampleSwitch
    ->addCase(SwitchByType::array, fn($value) => ('Hello ' . implode(' and ', $value)))
    ->setOptional();

echo $exampleSwitch('World'); // Hello World
echo $exampleSwitch(['Jay', 'Bob']); // Hello Jay and Bob
echo $exampleSwitch(47); // Hello Agent 47

without Instance

If you need the CallbackSwitch only once, you can call the static version.

$value = 'World';
echo SwitchByType::switch($value, [
    SwitchByType::string => staticfn($value) => ('Hello ' . $value),
    SwitchByType::int => staticfn($value) => ('Hello Agent '. $value),
    SwitchByType::array => staticfn($value) => ('Hello ' . implode(' and ', $value)))
]) // Hello World;

Make optional

By default, a CallbackSwitch shall throw an exception if neither a matching case was found, nor a default was provided.

If you call ::switchOptional instead of ::switch, null will be returned instead.
