PHP Luminova: Management of Core Factory Classes

Factory is a utility class in the Luminova framework designed to simplify the management of class instances across the Luminova codebase. It serves as a centralized hub, allowing the management of shared instances of classes throughout the framework.

Unlike the Services utility, Factory does not require configuration or registering classes. Class registration is defined within the Factory class and ready to be initialized when needed. Additionally, Factory does not support initializing classes by fully qualified class name (e.g., SomeClass::class), you must initialize using the predefine names.

Usages

To dynamically create an instance of a factory class, you can use the Factory::methodName().

<?php
use \Luminova\Application\Factory;
$instance = Factory::cookie('foo', 'foo-value', [], true);

Global Helper Function

Additionally, there is a global helper function factory() available, which provides a convenient way to access factory instances.

<?php
$instance = factory('cookie', 'foo', 'foo-value', [], true);
