Nerd Core

The Nerd Core classes provide a foundation for applications to be built.

It provides a kernel implementation that provides an event dispatch/notify interface, an object container and basic environment handling.

Creating an application kernel is simple:

use Nerd\Core\Kernel\Kernel
  , Nerd\Core\Event\Dispatcher
  , Nerd\core\Cotnainer\Container;

$dispatcher = new Dispatcher;
$container  = new Container;
$kernel     = new Kernel($dispatcher, $container);

Now we can add application objects to the container:

$container->set('logger', new Monolog);

And access them from anywhere in your application via the kernel object:

$kernel->getContainer()->get('logger');

Register application event listeners and attach objects to the event:

$dispatcher->attach('application.start', new MyEventListener);

Attach data to the event instance:

$event = new Event('application.start');
$event->setArgument('loggerInstance', $kernel->getContainer()->get('logger'));

And Trigger them (optionally passing in an event object):

$dispatcher->dispatch('application.start');
$dispatcher->dispatch('application.start', $event);

Loading
