Custom Segments
View the API Documentation for this class
A common pattern for working with EDIFACT messages is to have some custom value objects that represent the segments. This library supports this by allowed a custom factory to be provided:
<?php
use Estrato\Edifact\Control\CharactersInterface;
use Estrato\Edifact\Segments\FactoryInterface;
use Estrato\Edifact\Segments\Segment;
use Estrato\Edifact\Segments\SegmentInterface;
$factory = new class Factory implements FactoryInterface {
public function createSegment(
CharactersInterface $characters,
string $name,
mixed ...$elements,
): SegmentInterface {
if ($name === "DTM") {
return new \Acme\Edifact\Date($name, ...$elements);
}
return new \Estrato\Edifact\Segments\Segment($name, ...$elements);
}
}();
$parser = new \Estrato\Edifact\Parser($factory);
$segments = $parser->parse($ediMessageContent);
foreach ($segments as $segment) {
# For any DTM segments we'll now have our custom `\Acme\Edifact\Date` instance
