PokerRankr - a poker hand ranking engine.

The package can be installed by running the following command:

composer require smaatcoda/poker-rankr

Installed in a Laravel-based app?

If installed in a Laravel-based application, feel free to leverage Laravel's service container and Facades. To do that, add to your config/app.php file:

• PokerRankrServiceProvider:
  \SmaatCoda\PokerRankr\PokerRankrServiceProvider::class
• PokerRankr Facade:
  'PokerRankr' => SmaatCoda\PokerRankr\Facades\PokerRankr::class

After doing so run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=poker-rankr-config to copy PokerRankr config file to your project.

Now you can instantiate PokerRankr using Laravel's service container like so:

...

$ranker = app()->make(PokerRankr::class);
$ranker->evaluateHand($hand);

or so:

public function index(PokerRankr $ranker)
{
    ...

    $ranker->evaluateHand($hand);
}

Also you can use PokerRankr facade:

...

PokerRankr::evaluateHand($hand);

Installed in a plain PHP app?

If installed in a non-Laravel application, you can instantiate PokerRankr by first instantiating PokerRankr Config and passing a set of handlers to PokerRankr constructor like so:

...

$config = new Config();
$ranker = new PokerRankr($config->get('texas-holdem'));

$ranker->evaluateHand($hand);

Usage

Use PokerRankr to evaluate rankings of poker hands or to sort collections of poker hands. PokerCard entity provides a set of constants for each of common playing card ranks and suits for a proper instantiation of a PokerCard object.

$hand = new PokerHand();
$hand->add(new PokerCard(PokerCard::RANK_ACE, PokerCard::SUIT_DIAMONDS));
$hand->add(new PokerCard(PokerCard::RANK_KING, PokerCard::SUIT_DIAMONDS));
$hand->add(new PokerCard(PokerCard::RANK_JACK, PokerCard::SUIT_DIAMONDS));
$hand->add(new PokerCard(PokerCard::RANK_QUEEN, PokerCard::SUIT_DIAMONDS));
$hand->add(new PokerCard(PokerCard::RANK_TEN, PokerCard::SUIT_DIAMONDS));

After making a collection of poker hands you can use PokerRankr to sort the hands in the collection, such that afterwards the first hand in it will be the winning hand.

...

$handsCollection = new PokerHandCollection($hand2, $hand1);

$ranker->sortHands($handsCollection);

$winnerHand = $handsCollection->first();

Customization

You can write your own set of RankingHandlers as long as they implement RankingHandlerInterface.
