DEPRECATION NOTICE: this package has been moved and improved at grizz-it/fallback

Ulrack Fallback

This package contains an implementation for implementing a fallback system within a PHP application.

Installation

To install the package run the following command:

composer require ulrack/fallback

Usage

A single fallback consists of one FallbackStack with multiple Fallbacks.

Creating a Fallback

A fallback can be created by providing it with a callable, a (optional) validator and a (optional) set of parameters. The callable will be executed when it is reached inside the stack. The validator (see package: ulrack/validator) will be used to verify the output of the callable. The parameters are variadic and will override the parameters send by the stack.

An implementation would look like:

<?php

use Ulrack\Fallback\Component\Fallback;
use Ulrack\Validator\Component\Logical\ConstValidator;

$class = new class {
    /**
     * Returns the input.
     *
     * @param string $input
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function foo(string $input): string
    {
        return $input;
    }
};

$validator = new ConstValidator('bar');

$fallback = new Fallback([$class, 'foo'], $validator);

The fallback stack can be created after this. The fallback stack takes a validator as an argument. The function addFallback is used to add the fallback to the stack. This function takes the Fallback and a position as its arguments. The stack can then be invoked with a set of parameters.

<?php

use Ulrack\Fallback\Component\FallbackStack;
use Ulrack\Validator\Component\Type\StringValidator;

$validator = new StringValidator();

$fallbackStack = new FallbackStack($validator);

$fallbackStack->addFallback($fallback, 0);

$fallbackStack('bar');
