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();
}
