PHP types autoboxing

An implementation of the experimental PHP extension SPL Types.

Requirements

PHP 5.3.3 or above (at least 5.3.4 recommended to avoid potential bugs)

Installation

Using Composer, just add the following configuration to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "instinct/types-autoboxing": "1.0.*"
    }
}

If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Now tell composer to download it by running the command:

php composer.phar update instinct/types-autoboxing

Examples

Bool::create($var); // Defined a new boolean type
$var = true;       // Assign it a new value
if ($var instanceof Bool) {
    // $var is always a Bool object
}
