Components

DateProvider

We use it to provide closest date that suits specific rules, for example, first day of month, not bank holiday and etc.

dateProvider = new DateProvider(DateDetermineStrategy, HolidayProvider, shiftToFuture = true)
dateProvider->calculate( startDate )

HolidayProvider

an Interface for checking if the specific date is a bank holiday. Used for period calculation in Schedule.

Period

Period class is used to provide an object representing a time frame where needed, it contains start and end date for the specific period and the amount of days between those.

We use it as a container to describe the Loan period, where startDate is the day when Loan will potentially get issued, and endDate is the date of the last repayment, we also use period for each of the Loan's payments and in that case endDate is the date of the payment's repayment.

Schedule

Schedule class is used to generate periods for the given loan period, number of payments and payment frequency.

$schedule = new Schedule($startDate, $numberOfPeriods, $dateProvider)

PaymentScheduleCalculator

PaymentScheduleCalculator interface is a contract for implementing different ways of payments calculations.

EqualPrincipalPaymentScheduleCalculator

EqualPrincipalPaymentScheduleCalculator is the simplest implementation of PaymentScheduleCalculator interface, generates payments with equal principal amount.

    $startDate = new \DateTime('1984-08-08');
    $principalAmount = 500;
    $numberOfPeriods = 5;
    $dailyInterestRate = 0.000383;
    $dateProvider = new DateProvider(new ExactDayOfMonthStrategy(), new WeekendsProvider(), true);
    $schedule = new Schedule($startDate, $numberOfPeriods, $dateProvider);
    $schedulePeriods = $schedule->generatePeriods();

    $paymentSchedule = new EqualPrincipalPaymentScheduleCalculator($schedulePeriods, $principalAmount, $dailyInterestRate);
    $payments = $paymentSchedule->calculateSchedule();

AnnuityPaymentScheduleCalculator

AnnuityPaymentScheduleCalculator generates payments with equal payments amount.

    ...
    $paymentSchedule = new AnnuityPaymentScheduleCalculator($schedulePeriods, $principalAmount, $dailyInterestRate);
    $payments = $paymentSchedule->calculateSchedule();
