implements ICriteria

AbstractYes

Abstract base class for implementing the Criteria pattern.

This class provides the foundation for creating composable criteria objects that can be combined using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT). The Criteria pattern allows for flexible, reusable, and chainable query conditions.

Concrete implementations should define the meetCriteria() method to specify the actual filtering logic. This base class provides the logical composition methods for building complex criteria chains.

The pattern enables:

  • Composable query logic through method chaining
  • Reusable criteria components across different contexts
  • Clear separation of individual criteria concerns
  • Dynamic query building at runtime

class AgeRangeCriteria extends Base
{
    private $minAge, $maxAge;

    public function __construct(int $min, int $max)
    {
        $this->minAge = $min;
        $this->maxAge = $max;
    }

    public function meetCriteria(array $items): array
    {
        return array_filter($items, function($item) {
            return $item->age >= $this->minAge && $item->age <= $this->maxAge;
        });
    }
}

// Usage: $adults = (new AgeRangeCriteria(18, 65))->_and(new ActiveCriteria())->meetCriteria($users);
