Hey welcome to you traveler! You are looking for a way of traveling through your
software easily? Do not search anymore, you've just find the place!, (*2)
Ladies and gentleman, let me present you the famous, the incredible, the revolutionary
PHP Minibus !, (*3)
The goal
If you are like me, you are probably coding software solutions. In many software
architectures the story starts with an Entry point (cf: a controller in an MVC application). But
if you think about this Entry Point you probably agree with
me that it's not only one point but, in many cases, a mix of many components that interact between them!, (*4)
In order to avoid what I call SMFB architecture (understand: Super Mega
Fuc**** Brain, as the Controller) I present you Minibus!, (*5)
The principle is simple. In order to handle an application Entry Point we need
three components:, (*6)
- A
Minibus, which contains various passengers (understand data).
- Some
Stations, that can handle a minibus at some point (replace the controller).
- A bus
Line that contains Stations and can guide a Minibus.
- Optionaly a
Terminus that can handle how to display the passengers.
Cool! Let's rock!
A basic example would be somethong like this:, (*7)
use Knp\Minibus\Station;
use Knp\Minibus\Minibus;
class CrazyStation implements Station
{
public function handle(Minibus $minibus, array $configuration = [])
{
// You can add passenger
$minibus->addPassenger('Sheldon', ['name' => 'Cooper', 'from' => 'The Big Bang Theory']);
// Ensure a passenger existence
if (!$minibus->hasPassenger('Sheldon')) {
throw new \Exception('Wow something is going wrong :/');
}
// Retrieve a passenger
$from = $minibus->getPassenger('Sheldon')['from'];
// Or add as many passengers you want
$minibus->setPassengers([
'George' => 'Abitbol',
]);
}
}
Once you have some stations, you need to create a Minibus and a Line:, (*8)
// test.php
use Knp\Minibus\Minibus\Minibus;
use Knp\Minibus\Line\Line;
$minibus = new Minibus;
$line = new Line;
// add the station in the line
$line->addStation(new CrazyStation);
// finally lead te minibus thrue all the registered stations
$line->lead($minibus); // return the minibus
echo $minibus->getPassenger('George'); // print "Abitbol" :)
