This library is abandoned. Please consider using a different library.

These drivers allow you to store and fetch data from filesystem. The first key from the path indicates the filename (without extension) where the data resides.

Provided drivers

Driver	Extension	Readability	Data types	Mentions
JSONFile	json	Best	JSON types (int, float, string, bool, null, stdClass object, array)	-
PHPFile	php	Good	PHP standard types (int, float, bool, null, stdClass object, array)	can use opache
File	conf	Bad	Any serializable data	-

JSONFile driver

You can use this driver if you want to store JSON compatible data types.

use Opis\DataStore\Drivers\JSONFile;

$dataStore = new JSONFile("/path/to/dir");

$dataStore->read("config.memory.max");
/*
Attempts to read the value from /path/to/dir/config.json file
using ["config", "memory", "max"] as path
*/

$dataStore->write("settings.defaults.language", "en");
/*
After this write, we will have the file /path/to/dir/settings.json
containing a json like this:
{
  "settings": {
    "defaults": {
      "language": "en"
    }
  }
}
*/

PHPFile driver

If your app is using the data store as a configuration manager, you can boost the speed by using this driver and enabling opcache. You’ll also keep your configuration files easy to read.

use Opis\DataStore\Drivers\PHPFile;

$dataStore = new PHPFile("/path/to/dir");

$dataStore->read("config.memory.max");
/*
Attempts to read the value from /path/to/dir/config.php file
using ["config", "memory", "max"] as path
*/

$dataStore->write("settings.defaults.language", "en");
/*
After this write, we will have the file /path/to/dir/settings.php
containing somthing like this:
<?php return array(
  "settings" => array(
      "defaults" => array(
          "language" => "en",
      ),
  ),
);
*/

File driver

If you don’t care about readability and you need to store any (serializable) kind of data, then this driver is what you are looking for.

use Opis\DataStore\Drivers\File;

$dataStore = new File("/path/to/dir");

$dataStore->read("config.memory.max");
/*
Attempts to read the value from /path/to/dir/config.conf file
using ["config", "memory", "max"] as path
*/

$dataStore->write("settings.defaults.language", "en");
/*
After this write, we will have the file /path/to/dir/settings.conf
containing somthing like this:
a:1:{s:8:"settings";a:1:{s:8:"defaults";a:1:{s:8:"language";s:2:"en";}}}
*/

Adding a new filesystem based driver

Adding a new filesystem based driver is very easy, just extend the Opis\DataStore\Drivers\AbstractFile class and implement the abstract methods: import and export.

import

Returns the decoded data.

signature

/**
 * @param string $data
 * @return mixed
 */
abstract protected function import(string $data);

export

Returns the encoded data.

signature

/**
 * @param mixed $data
 * @return string
 */
abstract protected function export($data): string;

Example of custom filesystem based driver

use Opis\DataStore\Drivers\AbstractFile;

class Base64SerializedDriver extends AbstractFile 
{
    /**
     * @param string $dir
     * @param string $prefix Optional
     */
    public function __construct(string $dir, string $prefix = '')
    {
        // We want to use base64conf as file extension
        parent::construct($dir, $prefix, 'base64conf');
    }
    
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    protected function import(string $data)
    {
        return unserialize(base64_decode($data));
    }
    
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    protected function export($data): string
    {
        return base64_encode(serialize($data));
    }
}
