Strategy design pattern in laravel, the easiest way.

🍄 Laravel Smart Facades 🍄

The "Strategy pattern" in Laravel, made easy

by adding some features on top of Laravel facades.

Built with ❤️ for every smart Laravel developer

                                          

🔦 Installation:

composer require imanghafoori/laravel-smart-facades

⚡️ No need to have getFacadeAccessor()

Before:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class MyFacade extends Facade
{
    protected static function getFacadeAccessor() // <--- normal facade
    {
        return 'some_key'; 
    }
}

After:

use Imanghafoori\SmartFacades\Facade;

class MyFacade extends Facade
{
    //                                          <--- smart facade
}

⚡️ Setting the default driver by shouldProxyTo($class):

Instead of binding a string to a concrete class with an IOC container, you can choose the low-level implementation class like this:

public function register()    // <-- in a service provider
{             
    if ($someCondition) {
        MyFacade::shouldProxyTo( SomeDriver::class );
    } else {
        MyFacade::shouldProxyTo( SomeOtherDriver::class );
    }
}

You can proxy to any abstract string (or closure) bound on the IoC container.

Note: If you invoke it twice, it will override:

MyFacade::shouldProxyTo( DriverClass1::class );
MyFacade::shouldProxyTo( DriverClass2::class ); // <--- This wins!

⚡️ Using Non-default Driver:

If you want to change the driver at call site:

MyFacade::withDriver(nonDefaultDriver::class)::myMethod();

⚡️ Method Hooks:

You can introduce some code "Before" and "after" a method call, remotely: (like event listeners on eloquent models)

Here we have told the system whenever the MyFacade::findUser($id) method was called in the system, to perform a log.

⚡️ Choosing the driver, based on parameters value:

For example, let's say you want your facade to use an SMS-based driver by default, but if the text is very long (more than 200 chars) it should use an email driver.

You can do it like this:

🔧 Automatic method injection when calling a method through a facade.

This the adds ability to enjoy automatic method injection when calling methods on POPOs (Plain Old Php Objects) WITHOUT any performance hit when you do not need it.

🐙 Example:

class Foo { ... }

class Bar
{
    // This has dependencies: "Foo", "LoggerInterface"
    public function m1 (Foo $foo, LoggerInterface $logger, string $msg)
    {
       
    }
}

Calling Bar through a Facade:

Before:

MyFacade::m1(resolve(Foo::class), resolve(LoggerInterface::class), 'hey there !'); 

After:

 // This will work and $foo, $logger would be auto-injected for us.

MyFacade::m1('hey there !');          // normal facade

// or you may want to provide some dependencies yourself:
\Facades\Bar::m1(new Foo('hey man!'), 'hey there !');   //Now only the Logger is injected
