README

It's simple tool enabling overloading methods in convenient way by types and number of arguments like in other languages.

$userRepository = new UserRepository();
$userRepository->add('Michael','Jordan', 23);
$userRepository->add('Michael Jordan', 23);
$userRepository->add(new User("Michael", "Jordan", 23));
$userRepository->add(new Player("Michael", "Jordan", 23));
$userRepository->add(['fist_name' => 'Michael', 'last_name' => 'Jordan', 'number' => 23]);

Installation

composer require stormmore/method-overloader

Usage

Use register method to register overloaded methods with their arguments and run invoke.
In case of no proper methodInvalidArgumentException will be thrown or you can define default behaviour with onFailure callback.

use \Storm\MethodOverload\MethodOverloader;

class UserRepository  
{

    public function add(mixed ...$args): void
    {
            $addMethodOverloader = MethodOverloader::create($this)
            ->register($this->addByFirstNameLastNameAndNumber(...),'string', 'string', 'int')
            ->register($this->adddByUser(...), User::Class)
            ->register($this->addByPlayer(...), Player::class)
            ->register($this->addByArray(...), 'array')
            ->register($this->addNyNameAndNumber(...), 'string', 'int')
            ->onFailure(function() {
                throw new MyCustomException();
            });
                  
        $addMethodOverloader->invoke($args);
    }
    
    private function addByFirstNameLastNameAndNumber(): void
    {
    }
