Why?
----

[](#why)

You can watch Jeffrey Way's video from Laracon US 2017 with usage example:  (35:00)

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Suppose, we want to create Presenter for our User model:

```
class User extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
    ];
}

class UserPresenter
{
    use SimpleDelegator;

    protected $user;

    public function __construct($user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }

    protected function delegatee()
    {
        return $this->user;
    }

    public function formattedName()
    {
        return 'Decorated ' . $this->user->name;
    }
}

$decoratedUser = new UserPresenter($user);

$decoratedUser->formattedName() // call to decorator method
$decoratedUser->name // gets original name from User model
```

Or, we want to add some additional behavior to our class (as in Jeffrey's example):

```
class NotifyingThread
{
    protected $thread;

    public function __construct($thread)
    {
        $this->thread = $thread;
    }

    public function addReply()
    {
        $reply = $this->thread->addReply();

        Notification::send(
            $reply->mentionedUsers(),
            new YouWereMentioned($reply)
        );
    }
}

$thread = new NotifyingThread($thread);

$thread->addReply($data); // default logic + sending notification
```

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

[](#installation)
