+# FunctionFlags
+
+A library that aims to make it a bit easier to use PHP constants as function/method flags.
+
+Flags can be defined and checked globally by calling `FunctionFlags`'s static methods.
+```php
+use FunctionFlags/FunctionFlags
+
+// Define global flags for use anywhere for this runtime
+FunctionFlags::define([
+  "MY_FLAG",
+  "OTHER_FLAG"
+]);
+
+// Returns true if MY_FLAG is passed
+function foo(int $flags = null): bool {
+  return FunctionFlags::isset(MY_FLAG);
+}
+
+foo(MY_FLAG); // true
+foo(OTHER_FLAG|MY_FLAG); // true
+foo(OTHER_FLAG); // false
+foo(); // false
+```
+
+Flags can also be scoped to a class by creating a new `FunctionFlags` instance. Only flags defined in this instance will be matched
+```php
+use FunctionFlags/FunctionFlags
+
+$my_flag = new FunctionFlags("MY_FLAG");
+$other_flag = new FunctionFlags("OTHER_FLAG");
+
+// Returns true if MY_FLAG is passed and present in $my_flag
+function foo(int $flags = null): bool {
+  return $my_flag->isset(MY_FLAG);
+}
+
+foo(MY_FLAG); // true
+foo(OTHER_FLAG|MY_FLAG); // true
+foo(OTHER_FLAG); // false
+foo(); // false
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+Requires PHP 8.1 or newer
+
+1. **Install composer package**
+```
+composer require victorwesterlund/functionflags
+```
+
+2. **Include FunctionFlags in your project**
+```php
+use FunctionFlags/FunctionFlags
+```
+
+3. **Define some flags** (Using static approach for demo)
+```php
+FunctionFlags::define([
+  "MY_FLAG",
+  "OTHER_FLAG"
+]);
+```
+
+4. **Add a function which accepts flags**
+```php
+// 1. If your function takes more than 1 argument. The "flags" variable MUST be the last.
+// 2. It's recommended to make your "flags" variable default to some value if empty to make flags optional.
+function foo($bar = null, int $flags = null): bool {
+  return FunctionFlags::isset(MY_FLAG);
+}
+```
+
+5. **Use flags in function calls**
+```php
+// Your function can now accept flags. One or many using the Union operator `|`
+foo("hello world", OTHER_FLAG|MY_FLAG);
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+Static|Description
+--|--
+`FunctionFlags::define(string\|array)`|Flag(s) to define as string or array of string. This method must be called before using the flag(s).
+`FunctionFlags::isset(constant)`|The constant you wish to check is set on your function or method call.
+
+Instanced|Description
+--|--
+`new FunctionFlags(string\|array\|null)`|Flag(s) to define as string or array of string. This method must be called before using the flag(s).
+`FunctionFlags->define(string\|array)`|Flag(s) to define as string or array of string. This method must be called before using the flag(s).
+`FunctionFlags->isset(constant)`|The constant you wish to check is set on your function or method call.
