Circuits
Tips
Circuits package is available from Athenaeum v4.2
This package offers a Circuit Breaker that can be used to "[...] detect failures and encapsulates the logic of preventing a failure from constantly recurring, during maintenance, temporary external system failure or unexpected system difficulties[...]" (wiki).
A detailed explanation of how the Circuit Breaker Pattern works, can be found on Medium and Martin Fowler's blog
Example
<?php
use Aedart\Circuits\Traits\CircuitBreakerManagerTrait;
class WeatherService
{
use CircuitBreakerManagerTrait;
public function forecast()
{
$circuitBreaker = $this->getCircuitBreakerManager()
->create('weather_service');
return $circuitBreaker->attempt(function() {
// Perform 3rd party API call... not shown here
}, function(){
// Service has failed and is unavailable, do something else...
});
}
}
