Phi Facades
===========

[](#phi-facades)

Facades are a way to make Phi bindings feel more natural.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is the recommended method of installation for Facade.

```
$ composer require bapcat/facade

```

### GitHub

[](#github)

Facade may be downloaded from [GitHub](https://github.com/BapCat/Facade/).

Features
--------

[](#features)

### Pseudo-Static Access To Phi Singletons

[](#pseudo-static-access-to-phi-singletons)

A common use-case for Phi Facades is logging:

```
namespace Vendor\Package\Logging;

class Logger {
  public function warning($text) {
    // ...
  }
}
```

```
$logger = new Vendor\Package\Logging\Logger;

$phi = BapCat\Phi\Phi::instance();
$phi->bind('core.log', $logger);
```

```
use BapCat\Facade\Facade;

class Log extends Facade {
  protected static $_binding = 'core.log';
}
```

Once the facade is set up, the `Vendor\Package\Logging` singleton can be accessed like this:

```
Log::warning('Something bad happened!');
```

Phi Facades can even be used to create a facade for Phi:

```
$phi = BapCat\Phi\Phi::instance();
$phi->bind('phi', $phi);
```

```
use BapCat\Facade\Facade;

class Phi extends Facade {
  protected static $_binding = 'phi';
}
```

This will allow Phi to be accessed as such:

```
Phi::bind('Bar', 'Foo');
$foo = Phi::make('Bar');
```

### Phi Custom Resolvers

[](#phi-custom-resolvers)

If you are using Phi 1.2.0 or greater, Phi facades will work seamlessly with custom resolvers.
