# ComposeMixins
ComposeMixins is a tiny but extendable PHP library for function composition.

## Installation
```bash
# in your project root
composer require reasno/compose-mixins
```

## Examples
```php
use function Reasno\Helpers\composeMixins;
use Reasno\Helpers\Recipe;

$c = composeMixins(new Recipe('pipe'), /* callable */ $a, /* callable */ $b);
$result = $c($input); //Use the composed function

```

$c becomes a composition of function $a and function $b. You can verify it with the following snippet.

```php
$result1 = $c($input);
$result2 = $a($b($input));

var_dump($result1 === $result2); //true
```

## API
```php
function composeMixins(Recipe $recipe, callable ...$mixins)
```

## Recipes
This library comes with a few (most frequently used) built in recipes. These recipes define how functions are composed together.

* pipe: h(x) = g(f(x))
* map: h(list) = array_map(g, (array_map(f, list)))
* all: returns true if all functions (eg. f(x), g(x)...) return true.
* any: returns true if any function returns true.

To use any recipe, create new instance with their names passed into constructor.
```php
new Recipe('map');
```

You can create new recipes on the fly. Just pass in a closure.
```php
/* use a different handler each time the composed function is called */
$r = Recipe::fromCallable(function(...$fns){
static $i = 0;
return function($input) use (&$i, $fns){
try{
return $fns[$i++]($input);
} catch( Error $e ){
return null;
}

};
});
```

You can define your own RecipeHandlers in your own code, and pass it to the recipe constructor.
```php
Class MyRecipeHandler{
//...
}
$CustomRecipe = new Recipe('fancy', ['handler' => 'MyRecipeHandler']);
```
Please take a look at [RecipeHandler.php](https://github.com/Reasno/ComposeMixins/blob/master/src/RecipeHandler.php) in this library to learn how to write your own handlers.

## Caveat
* Functions composed with ```map``` and ```collapse``` recipes also accept ```Traversable``` as input.
* For ```all``` and ```any``` recipes, all functions are always evaluated regardless of their return values.

## Testing
PHPUnit is overkill for this project. To do a simple test, execute ```php tests/composeMixinsTest.php``` and see if all assertions pass.
