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.

When to use it?
Code smell: :nose:
- When you see that you have an endpoint from which you have to send back more than one type of response... Then this package is going to help you a lot.
Example:
Consider a typical login endpoint, It may return 5 type of responses in different cases:
- 1- User is already logged in, so redirect.
- 2- Successfull login
- 3- Invalid credentials error
- 4- Incorrect credentials error
- 5- Too many login attempts error
The fact that MVC frameworks force us to "return a response" from controllers prevents us from simplify controllers beyond a certain point. So we decide to break that jail and bring ourselves freedom.
The idea is : Any class in the application should be able to send back a response.
Remember:
Controllers Are Controllers, They Are Not Responders!!!
Controllers, "control" the execution flow of your code, and send commands to other objects, telling them what to do. Their responsibility is not returning a "response" back to the client and this is the philosophy of terminator package.
Consider the code below:
Problem:
With the current approach, this is as much as we can refactor at best. Why? because the controllers are asking for response, they are not telling what to do.
We do not want many if conditions all within a single method, it makes the method hard to understand and reason about.
Note:
Using "respondWith()" does not prevent the normal execution flow of the framework to be interrupted. All the middlewares and other normal termination process of the laravel will happen as normal. So it is production ready! :dolphin:
Refactoring Steps: :hammer:
1 - First, you should eliminate "return" statements in your controllers like this:
Do you see how "return" keyword is now turned into regular function calls?!
2 - Now that we have got rid of return statements,then the rest is easy, It is now possible to extract each if block into a method like below:
Terminator API
All this package exposes for you is 2 global helper functions and 1 Facade:
- respondWith()
- sendAndTerminate()
- \ImanGhafoori\Terminator\TerminatorFacade::sendAndTerminate()
In fact sendAndTerminate() ( or it's alias "respondWith" ) function can accept anything you normally return from a typical controller.
About Testibility:
Let me mention that the "sendAndTerminate or respondWith" helper functions (like other laravel helper functions) can be easily mocked out and does not affect the testibility at all.
In fact they make your application for testable, because your tests do not fail if you change the shape of your response.
How The Magic Is Even Possible, Dude?!
You may wonder how this magic is working behind the scenes. In short it uses nothing more than a standard laravel "renderable exception".
We highly encourage you to take a look at the simple source code of the package to find out what's going on there. It is only a few lines of code.
