### Features

[](#features)

- Correctly splits large numbers of metrics across multiple datagrams
- Can substitute out the underlying format of the metrics being sent, to support things like Datadog's tags and histograms
- Supports sample rates, but leaves skipping the send to the caller (use the factory and socket directly)
- Doesn't block during metric sending, and only supports UDP (opinionated, but that's all you should need)

### Usage

[](#usage)

This library uses dependency injection throughout. To instantiate a Client, you'll need a Socket and a Factory:

```
use Vend\Statsd\Client;
use Vend\Statsd\Socket;
use Vend\Statsd\Factory;

$client = new Client(
    new Socket(),
    new Factory()
);
```

Once you have a client, you can use the familiar statsd methods to enqueue metrics on the client. The client doesn't send them until `->flush()` is called.

```
$client->increment('some.metric_key'); // incremented by 1
$client->decrement('some.metric_key'); // decremented by 1
$client->counter('some.counter', 3);   // incremented by 3
$client->gauge('some.gauge', 10);
$client->timer('some.timer', 0.25);
$client->set('some.set', 'some_value');

$client->flush(); // actually sends the metrics
```

These methods return the `MetricInterface` produced by the factory (so you can then attach extra information).

You can also use the factory and socket to directly and immediately send metrics. The `->getData()` method on `MetricInterface`provides the serialized string that should be sent to the statsd server.

```
$socket = new Socket('127.0.0.1', 8125);
$factory = new Factory();

$socket->open();
$socket->write($factory->increment('some.key')->getData());
$socket->close();
```

#### Extending

[](#extending)

For an example of how to extend the library, see the `Vend\Statsd\Datadog` namespace. A different `Factory` is used by passing it to the Client. The Datadog-specific factory will allow the metrics to carry tag information.

#### `NullClient`, `ClientAwareInterface` and `ClientAwareTrait`

[](#nullclient-clientawareinterface-and-clientawaretrait)

Helpful utility classes for performing optional (setter) injection of statsd clients into your classes. Use them in pretty much the same way as their PSR3 equivalents.
