Overview

This package provides a static constructor and handler interface, and a trait that implements the interface.

Installation

Via Composer:

composer require aviator/runnable

Testing

Via Composer:

composer test

Usage

Use the trait:

class Something
{
    use RunnableTrait;
}

Then the class can be instantiated and handled using Class::run()(). The static run method returns a closure which accepts any arguments the method (by default get()) requires:

$closure = Something::run($arg1);
$result = $closure($arg2); 

// Or just:

$result = Something::run($arg1)($arg2);

The trait also pulls in Aviator\Makeable, so you get the static constructor make() out of the box.

The interface is optional, though it can be useful in composite interfaces to specify that a static constructor should be present:

interface SomeInterface extends Runnable, SomeOtherInterface
{
    /* etc */
}

By default the trait will call get(), but this can be overridden:

class Something
{
    use RunnableTrait;
    
    protected static $method = 'handle';
    
    public function handle ($arg)
    {
        /* etc */
    }
}

$result = Something::run()('arg');

// Calls the handle() method.

The magic of late static binding means you can override the default method on classes extending abstract classes and classes extending classes, etc.
