FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package card
PHP Card library
Introduction
This library offers a few VO classes to use inside Card-related applications:
Card: represents a Card, for example an ace of spades.Rank: represents the rank value of a Card, for example "A" or "7" ("T" is used for 10, to keep the same length).Suit: represents the card suit, for example spades or diamonds.CardBack: represents the back color of a card, for example red or blue. This allows distinguishing between multiple decks in games played with more than one deck.
Some more classes, more elaborate, are available. They are abstract, and thus require a custom implementation to extend them:
Hand: represents a set of Card objects, usually the ones assigned to a playerHandsTrick: represents a trick of hands (think for example Poker, when players show their hands to declare a winner)CardTrick: represents a trick of cards (think for example the 4 cards of a Bridge turn)
Installation
Just use composer require garak/card.
Usage
Example:
You can also get a full deck:
Multiple Decks
When playing with multiple decks, cards can be distinguished by their back color. Each deck automatically gets a back color, cycling through the available values if you request more decks than backs:
Upgrading from version 0.8
Rank and Suit have been converted from regular classes to backed enums.
The following breaking changes apply.
Instantiation
| Before | After |
|---|---|
new Rank('A') |
Rank::Ace |
new Rank('T') |
Rank::Ten |
new Suit('s') |
Suit::Spades |
new Suit('h') |
Suit::Hearts |
When you only have a string at runtime (e.g. from user input or persistence), use the enum's from() factory:
Invalid values
Previously invalid values threw \InvalidArgumentException.
They now throw \ValueError (the standard PHP exception for invalid enum values):
Use Rank::tryFrom('X') / Suit::tryFrom('X') to get null instead of an exception.
Iterating over all ranks or suits
The public static arrays Rank::$ranks and Suit::$suits have been removed.
Use the standard enum cases() method instead:
Suit::$jokerColors has also been removed; joker suits are now Suit::BlackJoker and Suit::RedJoker.
