Environment Management

The Pollora framework provides a comprehensive environment management system that works seamlessly in both WordPress and Laravel contexts. This system follows hexagonal architecture principles to ensure clean separation of concerns and easy testability.

Overview

The environment management system consists of:

• Environment Detection: Automatic detection of the current environment (development, production, staging, etc.)
• Context-Aware Implementation: Different detection strategies for WordPress and Laravel environments
• Service Layer: High-level service for environment-based decision making
• Performance Optimization: Environment-based caching strategies

Architecture

Domain Layer

EnvironmentDetectorInterface (src/Application/Domain/Contracts/EnvironmentDetectorInterface.php)

The core contract defining environment detection capabilities:

interface EnvironmentDetectorInterface
{
    public function getEnvironment(): string;
    public function isProduction(): bool;
    public function isDevelopment(): bool;
    public function isStaging(): bool;
    public function isEnvironment(string $environment): bool;
}

Infrastructure Layer

WordPressEnvironmentDetector (src/Application/Infrastructure/Services/WordPressEnvironmentDetector.php)

Uses WordPress’s native wp_get_environment_type() function:

class WordPressEnvironmentDetector implements EnvironmentDetectorInterface
{
    public function getEnvironment(): string
    {
        return wp_get_environment_type() ?: 'production';
    }

    public function isDevelopment(): bool
    {
        return $this->getEnvironment() === 'development';
    }
}

LaravelEnvironmentDetector (src/Application/Infrastructure/Services/LaravelEnvironmentDetector.php)

Uses Laravel’s application instance for environment detection:

class LaravelEnvironmentDetector implements EnvironmentDetectorInterface
{
    public function __construct(private readonly Application $app) {}

    public function getEnvironment(): string
    {
        return $this->app->environment() ?? 'production';
    }

    public function isDevelopment(): bool
    {
        return $this->app->environment('local', 'development');
    }
}

Application Layer

ApplicationEnvironmentService (src/Application/Application/Services/ApplicationEnvironmentService.php)

High-level service providing environment-based utilities:

class ApplicationEnvironmentService
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly EnvironmentDetectorInterface $detector
    ) {}

    public function shouldEnableDebug(): bool
    {
        return $this->isDevelopment() || $this->isStaging();
    }

    public function shouldEnableCache(): bool
    {
        return $this->isProduction() || $this->isStaging();
    }

    public function getConfigPrefix(): string
    {
        return match ($this->getEnvironment()) {
            'development' => 'dev',
            'staging' => 'stage',
            'production' => 'prod',
            default => 'default',
        };
    }
}

Usage

Basic Environment Detection

use Pollora\Application\Application\Services\ApplicationEnvironmentService;

class MyController
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly ApplicationEnvironmentService $environment
    ) {}

    public function index()
    {
        if ($this->environment->isProduction()) {
            // Production-specific logic
            $this->enableCaching();
        }

        if ($this->environment->isDevelopment()) {
            // Development-specific logic
            $this->enableDebugMode();
        }
    }
}

Service Container Resolution

The environment service is automatically registered and can be resolved in multiple ways:

// Via dependency injection
public function __construct(ApplicationEnvironmentService $env) {}

// Via service locator
$environment = app(ApplicationEnvironmentService::class);

// Via alias
$environment = app('pollora.environment');

Environment-Specific Configuration

class ConfigurationService
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly ApplicationEnvironmentService $environment
    ) {}

    public function getCacheSettings(): array
    {
        $prefix = $this->environment->getConfigPrefix();

        return [
            'enabled' => $this->environment->shouldEnableCache(),
            'ttl' => $this->environment->isProduction() ? 3600 : 60,
            'prefix' => $prefix . '_cache_',
        ];
    }
}

Laravel Environment Configuration

Laravel environments are configured through the standard .env file:

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true

# Other environment-specific settings
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync

Performance Integration

The environment system is integrated with performance-critical components like the Discovery Engine:

class DiscoveryEngine
{
    private function getCacheDriver(): DiscoverCacheDriver
    {
        // Disable cache in development for faster iteration
        if ($this->environment->isDevelopment() ||
            $this->environment->isEnvironment('local')) {
            return new NullDiscoverCacheDriver();
        }

        // Enable cache in production for performance
        return new LaravelDiscoverCacheDriver();
    }
}

Advanced Usage

Custom Environment Types

// Check for custom environment
if ($environment->isEnvironment('testing')) {
    $this->setupTestDatabase();
}

// Environment-specific feature flags
$features = [
    'debug_toolbar' => $environment->isDevelopment(),
    'query_logging' => !$environment->isProduction(),
    'cache_warmup' => $environment->isProduction(),
];

Environment-Based Service Registration

class CustomServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register(): void
    {
        $environment = $this->app->make(ApplicationEnvironmentService::class);

        if ($environment->isDevelopment()) {
            $this->app->register(DevelopmentServiceProvider::class);
        }

        if ($environment->isProduction()) {
            $this->app->register(ProductionOptimizationProvider::class);
        }
    }
}
