Crafty

Some essential helpers to rely on during TALL stack development.

Description

Contains some helper service classes (that you can use as Laravel facades). And it has some global helper functions for quick actions as well... Pretty much the things we found ourselves needing and without having a "strong" reason to PR Laravel about.

Installation

Install the package via composer:
```
composer require VPremiss/Crafty
```

Publish the config file using this Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="crafty-config"

Upgrading

Backup your current config.

Republish the package stuff using this Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="crafty-config" --force

Usage

Enumerified
- Can be applied to enums to extend their TALL abilities.
Installable
- Used along HasInstallationCommand trait on the package service provider, in order to implement an installation command.
- Needs the installationCommand() method applied within the laravel-package-tools service provider's bootingPackage() method.
Configurated
- Ensures, as a package service provider's interface, that package configurations are validated and handled gracefully.
- During packageRegistered(), you have to call registerConfigurations() method that's available in ManagesConfigurations trait.
- It's used along CraftyPackage::getConfiguration() method.

API

Below are the tables of all the Crafty package helpers:

Interface	Description
`Configurated`	Ensures that the package service provider has what's needed to deal with configurations internally. It Makes them compatible to be used in other packages and tests! Check out ManagesConfigurations trait.
`Installable`	Ensures that the package service provider has what's needed for its installation command. Check out HasInstallationCommand trait.

Trait	Description
`Enumerified`	Extends enum functionality to retrieve counts, random instances, and enum collections.
`HasInstallationCommand`	Makes `installationCommand()` method available to be used in `bootingPackage()` method in order to set up an installation command.
`ManagesConfigurations`	Registers configurations and their validations for CraftyPackage to be able to handle them whenever they're needed.

Laravel Rule	Description
`EnumsArray`	A validation rule that ensures an attribute is a filled array of valid enum values from a specified class.

Enumerified Function	Description
`count(): int`	Returns the count of the enum cases.
`first(): self`	Returns the first enum case.
`random(int $amount = 1, self\\|array $exceptFor = [], bool $asArray = false, bool $translated = false): self\\|array`	Returns a random enum case or an array of random enum cases, with options to exclude certain cases; possible array results, and translated case names.
`names(self\\|array $exceptFor = [], bool $translated = false): array`	Returns an array of enum case names, with options to exclude certain cases and to get the names traslated.
`values(self\\|array $exceptFor = [], bool $asString = false): array\\|string`	Returns an array of enum case values, with an option to exclude certain cases and to return values as a comma-separated string.
`collection(self\\|array $exceptFor = [], bool $translated = true): Collection`	Returns a Laravel collection of enum case names and values, with options to exclude certain cases and to translate case names.

Crafty Facade Method	Description
`chunkedDatabaseInsertion(string $tableName, array $dataArrays, ?Closure $callback = null): void`	Handles database insertions in chunks with configurable chunk size and default properties.
`filterProps(mixed $all, mixed $only = [], mixed $except = []): array`	Capable of filtering for the common "only" and "except" criteria when dealing with a collection or an array (associative supportive too).
`uniquelyMetaHashSuffixed(string $string): string`	Appends a unique hash suffix to a string. Utilizes the global helper function `unique_meta_hashing_number` of this same package.
`reverseString(string $string, EncodingType $encoding = EncodingType::UTF8): string`	Reverses a string according to the specified encoding type.
`validatedArray(array $array, ValidatedDataType $keysOrValuesType, Closure\\|ValidatedDataType\\|null $valuesTypeOrNestedValidator = null): bool`	A decent way of validating arrays and associative arrays real quick. Check out the CraftyTest.php for examples.

CraftyPackage Facade Method	Description
`getConfiguration(string $key, $default = null): mixed`	Returns the package configuration value gracefully after validation. Still, you must implement Configurated interface and ManagesConfigurations methods for it to work.
`setConfiguration(string $key, mixed $value): void`	Sets a configuration value for a specified key. This method does not validate the value itself; use `setConfigurationValidation` to establish value constraints. Requires Configurated interface too.
`setConfigurationValidation(string $key, callable $closure): void`	Registers a validation function for a specific configuration key. The function is called to validate the value each time it is set using `setConfiguration`. Requires Configurated interface too.
`seed(string $serviceProviderNamespace, string $seederName): void`	Runs a package seeder by deriving the class out of Installable's `seederFilePaths()` in order to `run()` it manually.

Global Function	Description
`is_filled_string($value): bool`	Checks quickly for the most common validation EVER! A filled string.
`is_associative_array($array): bool`	Checks if the passed array is an associative one.
`is_enum(mixed $enum): bool`	Checks if the provided value is an instance of an enum.
`unique_meta_hashing_number(string $string, ?int $digits = null): string`	Generates a unique hash number based on the input string and optional digit limit. Not for security purposes, merely for general meta information tagging.

Package Development

To integrate this package into the development of another package, ensure you load it first within your TestCase file:

class TestCase extends Orchestra
{
    // ...
    public function ignorePackageDiscoveriesFrom()
    {
        return [
            'vpremiss/arabicable', // the other package
            'vpremiss/crafty',
        ];
    }

    protected function getPackageProviders($_)
    {
        return [
            \VPremiss\Crafty\CraftyServiceProvider::class,
            \VPremiss\Arabicable\ArabicableServiceProvider::class, // the other package
        ];
    }
    // ...
}
