• Refactor by @MGatner in #35
• Update docs for release by @MGatner in #36

Full Changelog: v2.2.1...v3.0.0-rc.4

Coding Standard

Updates the development toolkit and applies the new CodeIgniter Coding Standard.

No content changes in this release.

Defaults

BaseHandler now supports default attributes, declared via the $defaults property. If discovered these values will be merged with the child class's $attributes, allowing a handler class to define "expected" attributes and types.

Bugfix

Fixes an issue with repeat shared service calls.

Add getAttributes

• Adds a method for getting attributes for a specific handler
• Restyles code

Service & Helper

Adds a simple Handlers Service to allow access to the shared instance, and a new helper function to make trivial calls simpler:

$class   = handlers('Widgets')->first();
$another = handlers()->where(['files has' => 'example.pdf'])->first();
