Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Delegate is a simple way to make property calls chainable when they otherwise wouldn't be.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Via Composer:

```
composer require aviator/delegate

```

### Testing

[](#testing)

Via Composer:

```
composer test

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Use a magic `__get` to set up a delegate:

```
public function __get ($name)
{
    if ($name === 'foo') {
        return $this->getFooDelegate()
    }
}
```

which will return the delegate when `$instance->foo` is called.

Since Delegate accepts anything as its first parameter and a Closure as its second, you can do anything:

```
private function getFooDelegate ()
{
    return new Delegate($this->someMember, function ($collection, $name) {
        return $collection->get($name);
    }
}
```

This allows you to call `$instance->foo->bar`, which will call your function against `someMember`.
