README

This library helps you manage resources with an easy-to-use interface. Resources like temporary file, or directories are automatically clean-up when leaving the scope, background processes are stopped, and any other custom resources are destroyed.

Usage

use Scrutinizer\ResourceManager\ScopedResourceManager;


class SomeClass {
    private $rm;

    public function __construct(ResourceManager $rm)
    {
        $this->rm = new FilesystemResourceManager($rm);
    }

    public function run()
    {
        $rs = $this->rm->managed(function() {
            $someTmpFile = $this->rm->createTemporaryFile();

            // do something with $someTmpFile

            return $result;
        });

        // $someTmpFile has been automatically cleaned-up here.
    }
}

$someClass = new SomeClass(new ScopedResourceManager());
$someClass->run();

Resource Manager Implementations

By default, you would want to use the ScopedResourceManager which allows arbitrary nesting of scopes. This manager can also be wrapped by other implementations which provide some convenience methods like f.e. the FilesystemResourceManager which allows you to easily create managed temporary files, or directories.

Background Processes

If you start a background process, like a server f.e., that you want to clean-up when leaving the scope, you can use the resource manager's manage method:

use Scrutinizer\ResourceManager\ScopedResourceManager;
use Symfony\Component\Process\Process;

class SomeTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    private $rm;
    
    public function testSomething()
    {
        // The resource manager's global scope will automatically be cleaned up 
        // when PHP calls all object destructors.
    }
    
    protected function setUp()
    {
        $this->rm = new ScopedResourceManager();
        
        $proc = new Process('some-server-cmd');
        $proc->start();
        $this->rm->manage($proc);
    }
}

Custom Resources

By default, this library supports temporary files, temporary directories, and Symfony background processes (using its Process component). You can also add create your own resources by implementing Scrutinizer\ResourceManager\Resource:

use Scrutinizer\ResourceManager\Resource;
use Scrutinizer\ResourceManager\ScopedResourceManager;

class PhpFileResource implements Resource 
{
    private $handle;

    public function __construct($fileHandle)
    {
        $this->handle = $fileHandle;
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
        fclose($this->handle);
    }
}

$rm = new ScopedResourceManager();
$rm->manage(new PhpFileResource($someHandle));
