Create Object Pool

Object Pool Pattern Generator

Creates Object Pool pattern infrastructure for managing reusable expensive objects.

When to Use

Component Characteristics

PoolInterface

• Acquire/release semantics
• Pool lifecycle management
• Capacity configuration

Pool Implementation

• Manages available objects
• Creates on demand
• Recycles returned objects

Poolable Objects

• Resettable state
• Validate before reuse
• Track usage metrics

Generation Process

Step 1: Generate Core Pool Components

Path: src/Infrastructure/Pool/

1. PoolInterface.php — Generic pool contract with acquire/release
2. PoolConfig.php — Configuration value object (min/max size, timeouts)
3. PoolableInterface.php — Contract for poolable objects (reset, isValid, close)
4. ObjectPool.php — Generic pool implementation
5. PooledObject.php — Wrapper tracking usage metrics
6. PoolExhaustedException.php — Exception for exhausted pool
7. InvalidPoolObjectException.php — Exception for invalid objects

Step 2: Generate Specialized Pool (if needed)

Path: src/Infrastructure/{Domain}/

1. {Type}Pool.php — Specialized pool (ConnectionPool, HttpClientPool)
2. Poolable{Type}.php — Poolable implementation for specific resource

Step 3: Generate Tests

Path: tests/Unit/Infrastructure/Pool/

1. ObjectPoolTest.php — Core pool functionality tests
2. {Type}PoolTest.php — Specialized pool tests

Naming Conventions

Quick Template Reference

PoolInterface

/**
 * @template T
 */
interface PoolInterface
{
    /** @return T */
    public function acquire(): mixed;
    /** @param T $object */
    public function release(mixed $object): void;
    public function getAvailableCount(): int;
    public function getActiveCount(): int;
    public function getMaxSize(): int;
    public function clear(): void;
}

PoolableInterface

interface PoolableInterface
{
    public function reset(): void;
    public function isValid(): bool;
    public function close(): void;
}

PoolConfig

final readonly class PoolConfig
{
    public function __construct(
        public int $minSize = 0,
        public int $maxSize = 10,
        public int $maxWaitTimeMs = 5000,
        public int $idleTimeoutSeconds = 300,
        public bool $validateOnAcquire = true,
        public bool $validateOnRelease = false
    );

    public static function default(): self;
    public static function forDatabase(): self;
    public static function forHttpClients(): self;
}

Usage Example

// Create pool
$pool = new ObjectPool(
    name: 'database',
    factory: fn() => $connectionFactory->create(),
    config: PoolConfig::forDatabase(),
    logger: $logger
);

// Acquire and release
$connection = $pool->acquire();
try {
    $result = $connection->query('SELECT ...');
} finally {
    $pool->release($connection);
}

// Or use helper
$result = $connectionPool->execute(fn($conn) => $conn->query('SELECT ...'));
