README

States allows you to create PHP classes following the State Pattern in PHP. This can be a cleaner way for an object to change its behavior at runtime without resorting to large monolithic conditional statements and this improve maintainability and workflows writing.

Features

• Create Several States : Split classes in states to avoid un-understandable large monolithic statements.
• Inherit States and Classes : Complete and factorize states thanks to inheritance.
  • Stated classes can be also inherited.
• Automate States Switching : Define states switching rules based on object's properties.
• Implement Every Where: Thanks to traits and interfaces, use this pattern on your existing code.
  • Compatible with Doctrine.

A complete documentation is available in documentation/README.md

Installation & Requirements

To install this library with composer, run this command :

composer require teknoo/states

This library requires :

* PHP 8.1+
* A PHP autoloader (Composer is recommended)
* Teknoo/Immutable (for Automated features).

A complete documentation is available in documentation/README.md

News from Teknoo State 6.0

This library requires PHP 8.1 or newer. Some change causes bc breaks :

• Replace StateInterface::VISIBILITY_* by Enum Visibility in same namespace.
• Use readonly behavior on immutables objects' classes.
• Prevent bug of mutability on automated features with Property and ConstraintsSet.
• ProxyInterface::DEFAULT_STATE_NAME is now final

News from Teknoo State 5.0

This library requires PHP 8.0 or newer. Some change causes bc breaks :

• Constructor Property Promotion
• Non-capturing catches
• Some optimisations on array functions to limit O(n)

News from Teknoo State 4.0

This library requires PHP 7.4 or newer. Some change causes bc breaks :

• PHP 7.4 is the minimum required
• Most methods have been updated to include type hints where applicable. Please check your extension points to make sure the function signatures are correct. _ All files use strict typing. Please make sure to not rely on type coercion.
• Switch to typed properties
• Remove some PHP useless DockBlocks
• Replace array_merge by "..." operators
• Enable PHPStan in QA Tools and disable PHPMd
• Add PHPStan extension dedicated to support Stated classes analyze and avoid false positive.

Evolutions in 3.x versions

From the version 3.2, the internal api has been redesigned to

• Following #East programming rules.
• Remove all public "getter" able to return the internal state of the object.
• Clean dead code and simplify the behavior of the library.
• Method are bound and executed by states managing object instead of object itself, but result is injected into the object.
• This behavior allows developers to execute several implementations for a called method (but only one result must be injected).
• Import from the extension teknoo/states-life-cyclable all automated feature. This implementation follows also the #east programming.
• teknoo/states-life-cyclable is deprecated and not compatible with this library since 3.2.

From the version 3.1, this library provide base implementation for doctrine from teknoo/statesBundle.

• teknoo/statesBundle is deprecated and not compatible with this library since 3.1.

From the version 3.0, this library has been redesigned to

• States's method are now builders of closure : They must return a closure, bindable with \Closure::call(). The Reflection API is no longer used to get a closure.
• The library uses \Closure::call() instead of \Closure::rebindTo(), more efficient.
• States's class must be referenced declared in the proxy class, via the static method statesListDeclaration().
• Factories and Loaders are removed, they have become useless.
• Proxy standard can be now directly instantiate. Integrated proxy are also removed.

From the version 2.0, this library has been redesigned to

• Reuse all composer's autoloader features instead internal autoloader.
• Reduce the number of necessary components to the internal functioning of this library (Dependency Injector, Closure Injector).
• Forbid the usage of slows functions like call_user_func.
• Use Scalar Type Hinting to use PHP Engine's check instead if statements.
