Can it generate unit tests automatically?

Yes, the skill generates boilerplate unit tests to verify the builder's functionality and validation logic according to the defined paths.

What is the benefit of the optional Director class?

The Director class allows you to encapsulate and reuse specific construction sequences, hiding building complexity from the client code.

What PHP version does this skill support?

It is specifically designed for PHP 8.4, utilizing modern type-hinting and property features for maximum type safety.

Does it handle object validation?

Yes, it includes a validation step within the build() method and generates a custom BuilderValidationException to ensure object integrity.

API Development

Generates type-safe Builder pattern infrastructure for PHP 8.4 including fluent interfaces, validation, and unit tests.

This skill streamlines the implementation of the Builder design pattern in PHP 8.4 environments, providing a standardized way to construct complex objects step-by-step. It automatically generates fluent interfaces, validation logic within the build process, custom exceptions, and optional Director classes to manage common construction sequences. By enforcing best practices like immutability and state resetting, it helps developers eliminate 'telescoping constructors' while ensuring that objects remain in a valid state throughout their lifecycle, making it ideal for DDD and Hexagonal Architecture projects.

Key Features

01Automates internal validation logic with custom exception handling

02Generates PHP 8.4 type-safe Builder interfaces and concrete implementations

03Provides optional Director classes for managing reusable build sequences

04Includes pre-configured unit tests for every generated builder component

06Implements fluent interfaces for readable, step-by-step object construction

Use Cases

01Constructing domain entities with numerous optional and required parameters

02Building complex query objects or API requests with step-by-step configurations

03Creating immutable data transfer objects (DTOs) with internal validation logic
