PHP package to work with bitmasking

PHP Bitmask is a powerful package for managing bitmask operations in php applications. It provides an elegant and intuitive interface for reading, validating, converting bitmasks, and casting them to and from enum values, enabling developers to leverage bitmasking techniques efficiently.

Features

• Bitmask Reading: Easily retrieve active bits from a given bitmask.
• Bitmask Validation: Ensure that provided bits and masks are valid, including checks for single-bit settings.
• Bitmask Conversion: Convert indices to bitmasks and vice versa, along with conversions to binary string representations.
• Casting for Masks and Enums: Automatically handle the casting of bitmask values to and from enum types, providing a seamless experience when working with enumerated bitmasks.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Usage

Bitmask Class

The Bitmask class provides a collection of static methods for handling bitmask operations. It includes functionality for creating bitmask handlers, converting between indexes and bitmasks, and validating bit values.

Creating an Enum Bitmask Handler

You can create a bitmask handler that works with an enum by using the enumBitmaskHandler method.

Example

Here’s the complete documentation, including the missing methods for both the EnumBitmaskFactory and Bitmask classes.

EnumBitmaskFactory

The EnumBitmaskFactory provides methods to create and manipulate bitmask handlers for enum values.

Example Usage

Here EnumBitmaskFactory Methods Overview

1. create(string $enum, UnitEnum ...$bits): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Creates a handler with the specified enum cases.

2. createWithMask(string $enum, int $mask): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Creates a handler with a predefined bitmask.

3. createNone(string $enum): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Creates a handler with an empty bitmask (no bits set).

4. createAll(string $enum): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Creates a handler with all enum cases active.

5. without(string $enum, UnitEnum ...$bits): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Creates a handler with all cases except the specified ones.

6. none(string $enum): EnumBitmaskHandler
   Same as createNone—creates a handler with no bits set.

Here Extra Bitmask Class Methods

1. Exposing BitmaskConverter Methods

• indexToBitMask(int $index): int
  Converts an index to its corresponding bitmask.
  Example:

• bitMaskToIndex(int $mask): int
  Converts a bitmask to its index.
  Example:

• getEnumMaxBitValue(string $enum): int
  Retrieves the maximum bit value for the given enum.

• bitMaskToArray(int $mask): array
  Converts a bitmask into an array of active bit values.
  Example:

• arrayToBitMask(array $bits): int
  Converts an array of bit values to a bitmask.
  Example:

2. Exposing BitmaskReader Methods

• getActiveBits(int $bitmask): array
  Retrieves the active bit values from a bitmask.
  Example:

• getActiveIndexes(int $bitmask): array
  Retrieves the active bit indexes from a bitmask.
  Example:

• countActiveBits(int $bitmask): int
  Counts the number of active bits in a bitmask.
  Example:

• getMostSignificantBitIndex(int $bitmask): int
  Returns the index of the most significant active bit.
  Example:

• getLeastSignificantBitIndex(int $bitmask): int
  Returns the index of the least significant active bit.
  Example:

• convertToBinaryString(int $bitmask): string
  Converts a bitmask to its binary string representation.
  Example:

3. Exposing BitmaskValidator Methods

• validateBit(int $bit): void
  Validates a single bit to ensure it's valid.
  Example:

• validateBits(array $bits): void
  Validates an array of bits to ensure all are valid.
  Example:

BitmaskHandler

The BitmaskHandler class provides an interface for managing bitmask operations in a Laravel application. It allows for the manipulation of bitmasks through various methods, including adding, deleting, and checking for specific bits.

EnumBitmaskHandler

The EnumBitmaskHandler class provides an interface for managing bitmask operations specific to enumerations in a Laravel application. It allows manipulation of bitmasks using enums, enabling you to add, delete, and check for specific bits represented by these enums.

Methods Overview

• remove(UnitEnum ...$bits): self

  • Removes specified bits from the current instance.

• add(UnitEnum ...$bits): self

  • Adds specified bits to the current instance.

• getValue(): int

  • Returns the current mask value as an integer.

• toArray(): array

  • Returns an array representation of the current mask, indicating which bits are set.
• has(UnitEnum ...$bits): bool
  • Checks if the specified bits are set in the current mask.

Example Usage

Here's an example that illustrates how to use the EnumBitmaskHandler class:

Note on toArray Method

If you want to customize the keys in the resulting array from the toArray method, consider implementing the Alazziaz\Bitmask\Contracts\MaskableEnum interface for your enum. You can define a toMaskKey method to specify custom keys for each enum value. For example:

With this approach, the toArray method in EnumBitmaskHandler can utilize the toMaskKey method to generate a more descriptive and meaningful array representation of the current mask.
