PHP types as objects

This package provides the ability to work with types as objects.

Available types:

• Integer
• String
• Float
• Boolean
• Array

Installation

composer require elegant-php/types

Usage

Use predefined classes and contracts

final class AuthorizedUser implements User
{
  public function __construct(
    private readonly StringType $name
  ) { }
}

$user = new AuthorizedUser(new DefaultString('my user'));

Implement type contracts

final class UserName extends StringType
{
  public function __construct(
    private readonly string $name
  ) { }

  public function value(): string
  {
    return strtolower($this->name);
  }
}

Compare types

$first = new DefaultString('first');
$second = new DefaultString('first');

var_dump($first->equals($second));

// bool(false)

Type casting

$id = new StringAsInteger('123');

var_dump($id->value());

// int(123)
