PHP Labels
==========

[](#php-labels)

A simple way to organise constant collections and constant=>string dictionaries.

### Example label class:

[](#example-label-class)

```
/**
 * An example label class.
 *
 * @method static string|array status($item = [])
 * @method static string|array abbr($item = [])
 */

abstract class TestLabels extends rsmike\label\Label
 {
    const INACTIVE = 0;
    const ACTIVE = 1;
    const OTHER = 3;

    protected static $status = [
        self::ACTIVE => 'Active',
        self::INACTIVE => 'Inactive',
        self::OTHER => 'Other',
    ];

    protected static $abbr = [
        self::ACTIVE => 'A',
        self::INACTIVE => 'I'
    ];
 }
```

#### Notes:

[](#notes)

- make sure to declare '@method static' PHPDoc for autocomplete to work
- classes should be declared abstract to avoid instantiation

### Usage:

[](#usage)

`TestLabels::status(TestLabels::ACTIVE);` Returns: 'Active'

`TestLabels::abbr(0);` Returns: 'I'

`TestLabels::status(2);` Returns: 2 (pass-through)

`TestLabels::status(3);` Returns: 'Other'

`TestLabels::status(null);` Returns: null (pass-through)

`TestLabels::status();` Returns: \[1=>'Active', 0=>'Inactive'\] (complete set of options. Useful for dropdowns etc. )

`TestLabels::status([]);` Returns: \[1=>'Active', 0=>'Inactive'\] (same as above)

`TestLabels::status([0]);` Returns: \[1, 0\] (all available keys)

`TestLabels::status([[0, 3]]);` Returns: \[0=>'Inactive', 3=>'Other'\] (subset)

#### Default value:

[](#default-value)

An additional parameter may be passed as a default value instead of pass-through:

`TestLabels::status(2, 'N/A');` Returns: 'N/A' (key not found)

`TestLabels::status(null, 'N/A');` Returns: 'N/A' (always returns default value on null)

#### Yes/No:

[](#yesno)

YN method is a built-in example and may be used in any sub-class `TestLabels::YN(1)` Returns: 'Yes'

$YN is protected and may be overridden in a subclass.

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

Either run

```
$ composer require rsmike/label:~1.1
```
