dreadlabs/media-type-decoding
=============================

[](#dreadlabsmedia-type-decoding)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This library provides a simple API for [Media type](#def_media_type) decoding.

It can be used to infer PHP class names from Media type strings literals such as **application/prs.acme.user-created+json; version=1.0**.

This library leans on the [RFC 6838](#rfc_6838) specification.

It is a companion to [DreadLabs/media-type-encoding](https://github.com/DreadLabs/media-type-encoding), providing decoding of a [Media type](#def_media_type) string literal.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer install dreadlabs/media-type-decoding:~1.0

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Example 1

> From a Media type string literal within the **Application** top-level type and the **Vendor** subtype tree, I want to resolve a fully-qualified PHP class name. The Media type string literal also carries a **version** parameter and no *Suffix* is defined.

```
$mediaType = new Application(RegistrationTree::vendor(new UpperCamelCasedFromHyphened(new Imploded('\\'))));
$withParameter = $mediaType->withParameter(new Parameter('version'));
$withSuffix = $withParameter->withSuffix(Suffix::none());

echo (string)$withSuffix->inferred('application/vnd.acme.customer-api.domain.event.item-added-to-cart; version=1.0');

> 'Acme\\CustomerApi\\Domain\\Event\\ItemAddedToCart'

```

Example 2

> This example enhances Example 1. The Media type string literal does not carry all necessary data to get the fully-qualified PHP class name. So we make usage of the *Prefixed* subtype inference.

```
$prefix = ['acme', 'customer-api', 'domain'];
$subtype = new Prefixed(new UpperCamelCasedFromHyphened(new Imploded('\\')), $prefix);
$mediaType = new Application(RegistrationTree::personal($subtype));

echo (string)$mediaType->inferred('application/prs.event.item-removed-from-cart')

> 'Acme\\CustomerApi\\Domain\\Event\\ItemRemovedFromCart'

```
