README
The defer statement originally comes from Golang. This library allows you to use the defer functionality in your PHP code.
Usage
<?php defer($context, $callback);
defer
requires two parameters: $context
and $callback
.
$context
- unused in your app, required to achieve the "defer" effect. I recommend to use$_
always.$callback
- a callback which is executed after the surrounding function returns.
Examples
Defer the execution of a code
<?php function helloGoodbye() { defer($_, function () { echo "goodbye\n"; }); defer($_, function () { echo "...\n"; }); echo "hello\n"; } echo "before hello\n"; helloGoodbye(); echo "after goodbye\n"; // Output: // // before hello // hello // ... // goodbye // after goodbye
Defer and exceptions
<?php function throwException() { defer($_, function () { echo "after exception\n"; }); echo "before exception\n"; throw new \Exception('My exception'); } try { throwException(); } catch (\Exception $e) { echo "exception has been caught\n"; } // Output: // // before exception // after exception // exception has been caught
