Messages

This library is an implementation of the Message Pattern described by Steve Bate in this article. The article, besides being a good read, defines a pattern for application design to enable complex algorithms to be broken down into more manageable and fluid form.

Usage

Usage of the library is very straightforward:

<?php


$msg = new \My\Project\Action\Message();
$msg->myAction()->add(function () {
    echo "Notification Received!\n";
});

use \Rawebone\Messages as M;

M\Action::setHandlerInstance(new M\Action());

$pipe = new M\Pipeline();
$pipe->add(new \My\Project\Action\Filter());
$pipe->add(new \My\Project\Action\DependentFilter($dependency));
$pipe->run($msg);

In the above example, the filters are extensions of the Rawebone\Messages\Filter class and the message an extension of Rawebone\Messages\Message.

Actions

Actions allow for callbacks to be registered and fire on certain events happening during the Messages lifecycle:

<?php
namespace My\Project\Action;


use Rawebone\Messages\Action;
use Rawebone\Messages\Message as BaseMessage;

class Message extends BaseMessage
{
    protected $myAction;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->myAction = Action::newAction("myAction");
    }

    public function myAction()
    {
        return $this->myAction;
    }
}
