I have a file that calculates something, lets say tax. Tax.php, this is inside some folder, lets say /MyCalculations/Taxes/Tax.php.
Now I want this file to be accessible inside my controller, How do I access this file, or how do I access those calculations inside this file?
Sample code of Tax.php:
<?php namespace MyCalculations/Taxes;
class Taxes extends Enginge {
//some calculations here
}
?>
I'm using laravel. Thanks
You could start by creating a namespace for your application, and place a folder in your app directory, perhaps app/Projectname. Then you could place your calculations namespace there there. Then autoload everything in your project by adding
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"..."
],
"psr-0": {
"Projectname": "app/"
}
},
to your composer.json file and then do a dump-autoload. Then you could use dependency injection in your controller, like so:
use Projectname\MyCalculations\Taxes\Tax;
class TaxController extends BaseController {
protected $tax;
public function __construct(Tax $tax)
{
$this->tax = $tax;
}
public function getTaxValue()
{
$value = Input::get('value');
return $this->tax->getAwesome($value);
}
use Projectname\MyCalculations\Taxes\Tax; inside the myview.blade.php and access those data or i should do it via controller?
Edit your composer.json file and add the 'files' section to it to it:
"autoload": {
...
"files": [
"app/MyCalculations/Taxes/Tax.php"
]
},
Then you just have to execute:
composer dump-autoload
And use them everywhere.
If you are on PHP 5.5, you also can use traits:
<?php namespace MyCalculations/Taxes;
trait TaxesTraits {
function calculateX()
{
}
}
class Taxes extends Enginge {
use TaxesTraits;
public function calculate()
{
$x = $this->calculateX();
}
}
libraries directory for your custom classes. This is a good post to read on the subject - I have used similar structures in the past and have been pleased with the results.
