max13/dtion
===========

Dtion allows you to serialize and unserialize conditions and results. For instace: if $x between 'A' and 'C', result is 'X'. Else if $x between 'D' and 'F', result is 'Y'.

Dtion
=====

[](#dtion)

How to serialize and store multiple if/else and the values corresponding to the different conditions?

`Dtion` is a serializable classes allowing you to store a condition and result. `Dtion` can store `string`, `int`, `float`, `callable` and `Stringable` values as boudaries and result. `callable` boundaries are evaluated during comparison but the result is returned as stored.

`DtionList` is also serializable and is used to store a list of `Dtion`, allowing you to `find()` the `Dtion` matching a given criterion, if any. `DtionList` can also directly return the `resultFor()` a matching criterion.

Example, you can store conditions like:

- If the **category** of the employee is **between 1 and 5**, the *prior notice* is **1 month**.
- If the **category** of the employee is **between 6 and 7**, the *prior notice* is **2 months**.
- If the **category** of the employee is **between 8 and 12**, the *prior notice* is **3 months**.

Here is another example using date intervals as conditions:

- If the **fixed term contract** lasts from 0 to **6 months**, then the *trial period* is **15 days**.
- Above **6 months**, the *trial period* is **1 month**.

Expressing these intervals (as `DateInterval` or `CarbonInterval`) as conditions with `Dtion` is easy. See bellow.

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

[](#installation)

You can use composer: `composer require max13/dtion`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using the examples above:

```
use Dtion\Dtion;
use Dtion\DtionList;

$priorNoticeList = new DtionList([
    new Dtion(1, 5, new DateInterval('P1M'),
    new Dtion(6, 7, new DateInterval('P2M'),
    new Dtion(8, 12, new DateInterval('P3M'),
]);

$category = 2;
$p = $priorNoticeList->resultFor($category);
// returns DateInterval('P1M')

$dtion = $priorNoticeList->find($category);
// returns the corresponding Dtion, or null if not found.
$result = $dtion->result();
```
