Install

Pull this package in through Composer.

{
    "require": {
        "yatta-tecnologia/presenter": "0.1.*"
    }
}

Usage

The first step is to store your presenters somewhere - anywhere. These will be simple objects that do nothing more than format data, as required.

Here's an example of a presenter.

use Yatta\Presenter\Presenter;

class UserPresenter extends Presenter {

    public function fullName()
    {
        return $this->first . ' ' . $this->last;
    }

    public function accountAge()
    {
        return $this->created_at->diffForHumans();
    }

}

Next, on your entity, pull in the Yatta\Presenter\PresentableTrait trait, which will automatically instantiate your presenter class.

Here's an example - maybe a Laravel User model.

<?php

use Yatta\Presenter\PresentableTrait;

class User extends \Eloquent {

    use PresentableTrait;

    protected $presenter = 'UserPresenter';

}

That's it! You're done. Now, within your view, you can do:

    <h1>Hello, {{ $user->present()->fullName }}</h1>

Notice how the call to the present() method (which will return your new or cached presenter object) also provides the benefit of making it perfectly clear where you must go, should you need to modify how a full name is displayed on the page.

Have fun!
