Old way of mapping out pathways
$map = [
'one' => 'A',
'two' => 'A',
'three' => 'A',
'four' => 'B',
'five' => 'B',
'six' => 'B',
'seven' => 'C',
];
$default = 'D';
$type = 'one';
$resolution = $map[$type] ?? $default;
Storing a match in a variable
$map = fn($type) => match ($type) {
'one', 'two', 'three' => 'A',
'four', 'five', 'six' => 'B',
'seven' => 'C',
default => "D",
};
Storing a match in an array config. This may be more viable within frameworks.
example.php
return [
'map' => fn($type) => match ($type) {
'one', 'two', 'three' => 'A',
'four', 'five', 'six' => 'B',
'seven' => 'C',
default => "D",
}
];
$exampleMap = config('example.map');
$type = 'one';
$resolution = $exampleMap($type);
