What are the benefits of using Tagged Services for the Strategy pattern?

Tagged services allow you to automatically inject all implementations of an interface into a manager service without manual configuration, making the system highly extensible.

Can I control the order in which strategies are evaluated?

Yes, the skill demonstrates how to use the priority attribute within tags to ensure certain strategies are checked or executed before others.

How does this skill help with Symfony development?

It provides a standardized, best-practice approach to implementing the Strategy pattern, reducing boilerplate and leveraging Symfony's native dependency injection container for service discovery.

Does this support modern Symfony and PHP versions?

Absolutely. The implementation uses PHP 8+ attributes like #[AutoconfigureTag] and #[AutowireIterator], which are standard in modern Symfony applications.

API Development

Implements the Strategy design pattern using Symfony's tagged services for flexible, runtime algorithm selection.

About

This skill provides a standardized framework for implementing the Strategy design pattern within Symfony applications, leveraging advanced dependency injection features. By utilizing tagged services, autowire iterators, and service locators, it enables developers to build highly extensible systems where logic—such as payment processing or data exporting—can be swapped or added at runtime without modifying the core service. It emphasizes clean code principles through interface-driven design, priority-based execution, and automated service discovery, making it an essential tool for building modular, maintainable enterprise PHP applications.

Key Features

Automatic service discovery via #[AutoconfigureTag] attributes
Standardized testing patterns for modular strategy components
Priority-based execution order for strategy fallback logic
Clean interface-driven architecture for runtime algorithm switching
21 GitHub stars
Dynamic service selection using #[AutowireIterator] and #[TaggedLocator]

Use Cases

Managing multi-channel notification systems for Email, SMS, and Push alerts
Integrating multiple payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal with a unified interface
Handling diverse file export formats such as CSV, JSON, and XLSX dynamically
