phpdot/path
===========

[](#phpdotpath)

Project-root discovery and named path resolution for PHPdot. Paths are declared in `config/path.php`, resolved to absolute paths at runtime, and reached through the `PathRegistryInterface` contract. The project root is written in at install time (or auto-detected from Composer), and unmapped names throw rather than being guessed.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

RequirementConstraintPHP`>= 8.5``composer-runtime-api``^2.2``phpdot/config``^0.2``phpdot/package``^0.2``phpdot/container` is a dev-only suggestion — the `#[Config('path')]` / binding attributes are inert until a phpdot application reflects them.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require phpdot/path
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

`PathRegistry` is a container singleton bound to `PathRegistryInterface` — inject the contract and read absolute paths by their name:

```
use PHPdot\Path\Contract\PathRegistryInterface;

$path = $container->get(PathRegistryInterface::class);

$path->base();          // /var/www/app
$path->config();        // /var/www/app/config
$path->vendor();        // /var/www/app/vendor
$path->public();        // /var/www/app/public
$path->protected();     // /var/www/app/protected
$path->get('uploads');  // /var/www/app/storage/uploads
$path->has('uploads');  // true
```

Every returned path is absolute. An unmapped name throws `PathNotMapped` — paths are explicit, never guessed.

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

At install time `phpdot/package` scaffolds `config/path.php` and the `PathInstaller` install hook writes the absolute project root into `base`. At runtime `ProjectRoot` resolves the base (auto-detecting from Composer when `base` is empty) and `PathRegistry` resolves every named path to an absolute path.

 ```

    CONFIG["config/path.phpbase + named paths (PathsConfig defaults)"]
    INSTALL["PathInstaller  #[InstallHook]writes the absolute project root into base"]
    ROOT["ProjectRootbase, or auto-detected from Composer when empty"]
    REGISTRY["PathRegistry → PathRegistryInterfaceresolves every name to an absolute path"]
