In a standalone way. Folded is a constellation of packages to help you setting up a web app easily, using ready to plug in packages. - [folded/action](https://github.com/folded-php/action): A way to organize your controllers for your web app. - [folded/config](https://github.com/folded-php/config): Configuration utilities for your PHP web app. - [folded/crypt](https://github.com/folded-php/crypt): Encrypt and decrypt strings for your web app. - [folded/exception](https://github.com/folded-php/exception): Various kind of exception to throw for your web app. - [folded/history](https://github.com/folded-php/history): Manipulate the browser history for your web app. - [folded/http](https://github.com/folded-php/http): HTTP utilities for your web app. - [folded/orm](https://github.com/folded-php/orm): An ORM for you web app. - [folded/request](https://github.com/folded-php/request): Request utilities, including a request validator, for your PHP web app. - [folded/routing](https://github.com/folded-php/routing): Routing functions for your PHP web app. - [folded/view](https://github.com/folded-php/view): View utilities for your PHP web app. Features -------- [](#features) - Set and get value by keys - Can flash value (which means they can be getted only once) - Can remove values by key - Can check if a value exist by its key - Uses the plain `$_SESSION` superglobal Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP version >= 7.4.0 - Composer installed Installation ------------ [](#installation) - [1. Install the package](#1-install-the-package) - [2. Add the setup code](#2-add-the-setup-code) ### 1. Install the package [](#1-install-the-package) In your root folder, run this command: ``` composer require folded/session ``` ### 2. Add the setup code [](#2-add-the-setup-code) In the script you want to use, call for the session start function: ``` if (session_status() !== PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE) { session_start(); } // ... ``` Examples -------- [](#examples) - [1. Set a value](#1-set-a-value) - [2. Get a value by key](#2-get-a-value-by-key) - [3. Check if a value exist by key](#3-check-if-a-value-exist-by-key) - [4. Flash a value](#4-flash-a-value) - [5. Keep a value one more time after being flashed](#5-keep-a-value-one-more-time-after-being-flashed) - [6. Remove a value by key](#6-remove-a-value-by-key) ### 1. Set a value [](#1-set-a-value) In this example, we will set the value in the session. ``` use function Folded\setSession; setSession("token", "12345"); ``` ### 2. Get a value by key [](#2-get-a-value-by-key) In this example, we will get the value of a session key. ``` use function Folded\setSession; use function Folded\getSession; setSession("token", "12345"); echo getSession("token"); // "12345" ``` ### 3. Check if a value exist by key [](#3-check-if-a-value-exist-by-key) In this example, we will check if a value exist by its key. ``` use function Folded\hasSession; if (hasSession("token")) { echo "has token in session"; } else { echo "has not token in session yet"; } ``` ### 4. Flash a value [](#4-flash-a-value) Flashing a value consist of telling the session to keep a value for a single usage. In this example, we will set a flash value, then get it once. Any attempt to get it a second time will fail. ``` use function Folded\flashSession; use function Folded\getSession; use function Folded\hasSession; flashSession("token", "12345"); echo getSession("token"); // "12345" var_dump(hasSession("token")); // bool(false) ``` ### 5. Keep a value one more time after being flashed [](#5-keep-a-value-one-more-time-after-being-flashed) In this example, we will use the second parameter of `getSession()` to keep a flashed data one last time after being getted. ``` use function Folded\getSession; use function Folded\flashSession; use function Folded\hasSession; flashSession("token", "12345"); getSession("token", $keep = true); var_dump(hasSession("token")); // bool(true) ``` ### 6. Remove a value by key [](#6-remove-a-value-by-key) In this example, we will set a value, then remove it, and check if it exist. ``` use function Folded\hasSession; use function Folded\removeSession; use function Folded\setSession; setSession("token", "12345"); var_dump(hasSession("token")); // booll(true) removeSession("token"); var_dump(hasSession("token")); // bool(false) ``` Version support --------------- [](#version-support) 7.37.48.0v0.1.0❌✔️❓v0.1.1❌✔️❓v0.2.0❌✔️❓v0.2.1❌✔️❓v0.2.2❌✔️❓ ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
