Installation

Using Composer

composer require fyre/forge

In PHP:

use Fyre\Forge\ForgeRegistry;

Basic Usage

• $container is a Container.

$forgeRegistry = new ForgeRegistry($container);

Autoloading

It is recommended to bind the ForgeRegistry to the Container as a singleton.

$container->singleton(ForgeRegistry::class);

Any dependencies will be injected automatically when loading from the Container.

$forgeRegistry = $container->use(ForgeRegistry::class);

Methods

Map

Map a Connection class to a Forge handler.

• $connectionClass is a string representing the Connection class name.
• $forgeClass is a string representing the Forge class name.

$forgeRegistry->map($connectionClass, $forgeClass);

Use

Load the shared Forge for a Connection.

• $connection is a Connection.

$forge = $forgeRegistry->use($connection);

Forge dependencies will be resolved automatically from the Container.
