# DeGraciaMathieu/Manager

Implementation of the Manager pattern existing in Laravel framework.

## Installation

| Manager | 3.* | 2.* | 1.* |
|-------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| php ^8.1 | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: |
| php 8.0.* | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
| php 7.* | :x: | :x: | :white_check_mark: |

```
composer require degraciamathieu/manager
```

## Usage

This package offers an abstract class `DeGraciaMathieu\Manager\Manager` which needs to be extended to implement the creation of various Driver classes :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

use DeGraciaMathieu\Manager\Manager;

class WeatherManager extends Manager {

public function createOpenweathermapDriver()
{
return new Openweathermap();
}

public function getDefaultDriver(): string
{
return 'openweathermap';
}
}
```

A driver is a class integrating all the logic of an implementation, in our examples the interactions with the APIs of [Openweathermap](https://openweathermap.org/api) :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

class Openweathermap {

public function itsRainingNow(string $city): bool
{
// call Openweathermap api to know if it is raining in this city

return true;
}
}
```
From now on, you can directly call the method of a driver directly from the manager :

```php
(new WeatherManager())->itsRainingNow('Paris'); // true
```

The manager will call the `itsRainingNow` method of the default driver configured by the `getDefaultDriver` method.

You can also call any driver from the manager's `driver` method :

```php
(new WeatherManager())->driver('openweathermap')->itsRainingNow('Paris');
```

Now if you want to create a new implementation, for example if you want to use [Aerisweather](https://www.aerisweather.com/develop/api/) APIs, you just have to create a new driver in your manager :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

use DeGraciaMathieu\Manager\Manager;

class WeatherManager extends Manager {

public function createOpenweathermapDriver()
{
return new Openweathermap();
}

public function createAerisweatherDriver()
{
return new Aerisweather();
}

public function getDefaultDriver(): string
{
return 'openweathermap';
}
}
```

> Tip, the `getDefaultDriver` method is the perfect place to use a configuration or environment variable !

## Add an interface to the drivers

For more consistency it is advisable to implement an interface to the different drivers :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

interface Driver {
public function itsRainingNow(string $city): bool;
}
```

You obviously need to add this interface to your drivers.

```php
namespace App\Managers;

use DeGraciaMathieu\Manager\Manager;

class WeatherManager extends Manager {

public function createOpenweathermapDriver(): Driver
{
return new Openweathermap();
}

public function createAerisweatherDriver(): Driver
{
return new Aerisweather();
}

public function getDefaultDriver(): string
{
return 'openweathermap';
}
}
```

Now you will be assured that each driver instantiated by the manager will have the same interface.

## Repository class

To control side effects of drivers, it is advisable to create a class encapsulating the instance of a driver, this class is usually called `Repository` :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

use DeGraciaMathieu\Manager\Manager;

class WeatherManager extends Manager {

public function createOpenweathermapDriver(): Repository
{
$driver = new Openweathermap();

return new Repository($driver);
}

public function createAerisweatherDriver(): Repository
{
$driver = new Aerisweather();

return new Repository($driver);
}

public function getDefaultDriver(): string
{
return 'openweathermap';
}
}
```

The repository is a class providing a bridge between your application and the driver :

```php
namespace App\Managers;

class Repository {

public function __construct(
private Driver $driver,
){}

public function itsRainingNow(string $city): bool
{
return $this->driver->itsRainingNow($city);
}
}
```

> This repository class is an anti-corruption layer

Thus, your application will never be aware of which driver it is handling, because it will always be encapsulated in a class repository.

The repository is also a good place if you need to add specific logic for all drivers.

## Work with singleton

You can also cache the creation of Drivers with the `$singleton` property.

With the `singleton` property you will only create one instance of `Openweathermap` driver :

```php
driver('openweathermap')->itsRainingNow('Paris');
$weatherManager->driver('openweathermap')->itsRainingNow('Paris');
$weatherManager->driver('openweathermap')->itsRainingNow('Paris');
```

> by default, singleton property value is False
