README

Embedded driver design pattern that allows universal operation chaining.

Purpose

This project aims to abstract all basic operations from the application logic. This includes file and socket operations, conversions, and an unlimited amount of other options.

Installation

composer require blondie101010/php-embedded-driver

Usage

General usage example

https://github.com/blondie101010/php-embedded-driver/blob/master/testfile.php shows a two Driver layer example.

Making a driver

To make a driver, you just extend Blondie101010\EmbeddedDriver\Driver and define its required methods:

• applySettings(): validate and apply the settings passed to the class constructor, performing setup operation;
• receive(): receive data from the Driver;
• send(): send data to the Driver.

The source code is much more extensively documented and should be consulted first.

If interested in a simple Driver example, be sure to look at https://github.com/blondie101010/php-embedded-driver/blob/master/src/Converter/Base64.php.

Pull requests

A project needs to evolve to stay alive and become more useful. Pull requests are very welcome whether to offer improvements to the core, or integrate new drivers directly in this project for convenience.

You can of course make your own repository and only use this package as a dependency. Feel free to let me know of your Drivers and I'll make a list available.
