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

[](#installation)

Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
php composer.phar require jgswift/qub:dev-master
```

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

[](#description)

qub is a relatively simple utility that mediates state machines for any given object

qub constitutes a flexible and non-invasive way to associate potentially disparate (well formed) systems

qub is conceptually similar to the many-to-many or joint-table pattern found in relational database theory

qub adds conceptually barely anything to object-oriented programming in php but has many conceivable applications

qub uses 3 transformations to modify state and they are ASK, TELL, and TRANSLATE respectively

qub provides 4 drivers to run transformations immediately (run-time) or from stored lists (collections/queues/stacks)

qub can mediate both object and arrayaccess magic with comparable performance

Transformations
---------------

[](#transformations)

Ask - requests state information from mediator

Tell - instructs mediator to update it's internal state

Translate - requests translated information. should always result in identical output given the same arguments

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This is minimal example of a user being asked what it's name is using the run-time state driver
