Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

1. Install with Composer: `> composer require tatter/exports`
2. Load a handler: `$handler = new \Tatter\Exports\Exports\DownloadHandler($myFile);`
3. Run the export: `return $handler->process();`

Description
-----------

[](#description)

**Exports** defines small classes that can be used to direct files to various destinations. Each class is a handler discoverable by `Tatter\Handlers` with a distinct set of attributes and its own `doProcess()` method to do the actual export. Think of an export as something you might see on a "share menu" from a mobile device: supported destinations for a file type.

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

[](#installation)

Install easily via Composer to take advantage of CodeIgniter 4's autoloading capabilities and always be up-to-date:

```
composer require tatter/exports
```

Or, install manually by downloading the source files and adding the directory to **app/Config/Autoload.php**.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You may load Export handlers directly, or use the `ExportersFactory` to locate them based on their attributes:

```
// Loaded directly
$handler = new \Tatter\Exports\Exporters\DownloadExporter($myFile);`

// Located by Handlers
$class    = ExporterFactory::find('download');
$exporter = new $class($myFile);
```

Every handler supports basic setters to provide your file and optional overrides for file metadata:

```
$exporter->setFile('/path/to/file');
// or...
$file = new \CodeIgniter\Files\File('/path/to/file');
$exporter->setFile($file);

$exporter->setFileName('RenameFileDuringExport.bam');
$exporter->setFileMime('overriding/mimetype');
```

To execute the export, call its `process()` method, which will return a `ResponseInterface`:

```
use Tatter\Exports\ExporterFactory;

class MyController
{
    public function previewFile($path)
    {
        $class    = ExporterFactory::find('preview');
        $exporter = new $class();

        return $exporter->setFile($path)->process();
    }
}
```
