php-codewriter
==============

[](#php-codewriter)

\######Generate code for writing to file using different components

##### Need to pass instance of `CodeWriterSettings` to the top most component using `setSettings()` \[inherited from BaseComponent Class\] before calling `writeComponent()` method. Exception `SettingsNotSet` is thrown if `writeComponent()` is called before settings is set.

[](#need-to-pass-instance-of-codewritersettings-to-the-top-most-component-using-setsettings-inherited-from-basecomponent-class-before-calling-writecomponent-method-exception-settingsnotset-is-thrown-if-writecomponent-is-called-before-settings-is-set)

```
      CodeWriterSettings::create(ISyntaxGrammar::PHP, $indent = 0)
```

#### 1 . Variable Component

[](#1--variable-component)

```
      $variable = VariableComponent::create("var")->setValue("Is Name", "string")->writeComponent();

OUTPUT:
      $var = 'Is Name';
```

###### Constants:

[](#constants)

```
      $constant = VariableComponent::create("TEST")->setValue("VALUE 1")->makeConstant()->writeComponent();

OUTPUT:
      const TEST = 'VALUE 1';
```

#### 2 . Array Component

[](#2--array-component)

```
      $array    = ArrayComponent::create("what_is_this", TRUE)
        ->setValue([
            "string" => "is game",
            "number" => 2,
            "bool"   => FALSE,
        ])
        ->writeComponent();

OUTPUT:
      $what_is_this = [
            'string' => 'is game',
            'number' => 2,
            'bool' => false,
        ];
```

#### 3 . Function Component

[](#3--function-component)

```
      $function = FunctionComponent::create("myFunction")
        ->setAccessIdentifier(BaseComponent::ACCESS_PUBLIC)
        ->setParameters([ArrayComponent::create("my_array"), $variable])
        ->appendComponent($array)
        ->appendComponent($variable)
        ->writeComponent();

OUTPUT:
      /**
       * @param array $my_array
       * @param string $val
       */
      public function myFunction(array $my_array, $val = 'Is Name')
      {
          $what_is_this = [
              'string' => 'is game',
              'number' => 2,
              'bool' => false,
          ];
          $nischal = 'Is Name';
      }
```

#### 4 . Class Component

[](#4--class-component)

```
      $class = ClassComponent::create('TestController')
        ->setExtends("Controller")
        ->appendComponent($variable)
        ->appendComponent($constant)
        ->appendBlankLine()
        ->appendComponent($array)
        ->appendBlankLine()
        ->appendComponent($function)
        ->writeComponent();

OUTPUT:
      /**
       * Class TestController
       */
      class TestController extends Controller
      {
           $var = 'Is Name';
           const TEST = 'VALUE 1';

           $what_is_this = [
              'string' => 'is game',
              'number' => 2,
              'bool' => false,
           ];

           /**
            * @param array $my_array
            * @param string $val
            */
           public function myFunction(array $my_array, $val = 'Is Name')
           {
               $what_is_this = [
                   'string' => 'is game',
                   'number' => 2,
                   'bool' => false,
               ];
               $nischal = 'Is Name';
           }
      }
```
