Static Settings

A PHP library for managing static settings using a type-safe API with PHP 8.1+ enums.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require owenbush/static-settings

Usage

1. Define Your Setting Enum

First, create an enum that implements BaseStaticSettingInterface:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace YOURNAMESPACE;

use StaticSettings\BaseStaticSettingInterface;

enum Environment: string implements BaseStaticSettingInterface {
  case Development = 'development';
  case Staging = 'staging';
  case Production = 'production';
}

2. Register Your Setting

Before you use your setting, you should register it. This prevents other code from registering the same name and conflicting. This step is optional as when you set a setting for the first time it will also register it.

use StaticSettings\StaticSettings;

StaticSettings::registerSetting(Environment::class);

3. Set and Get Values

Now you can set and get values:

// Set the environment
StaticSettings::set(Environment::class, Environment::Production);
// Get the current environment
$environment = StaticSettings::get(Environment::class);
if ($environment === Environment::Production) {
// Do production-specific things
}

You can also set multiple values at once using:

// Set up some settings.
$settings = [
  Environment::class => Environment::Production,
  SomeOtherClass:class => SomeOtherClass::Value,
];

// Set multiple settings at once.
StaticSettings::setMultiple($settings);

// Retrieve the environment setting.
$environment = StaticSettings::get(Environment::class);

Error Handling

The library will throw InvalidStaticSettingsException in these cases:

• Attempting to get an unregistered setting
• Setting an invalid value for an enum
• Registering the same setting name with different classes
