PHP Abstract Structures
Basic data structure with public properties while validating data type.
Inspired from https://medium.com/laravel-4/ef6b7113dd40
Usage
Generic structure
Each property will the bind to the type of the first value that is set.
<?php
use Lavoiesl\AbstractStructure\AbstractStructure;
class Generic extends AbstractStructure
{
protected $foo;
}
$generic = new Generic;
$generic->foo = 1; // initial value
$generic->foo = 2; // type not changing, still good
$generic->foo = 'foo'; // Exception, wrong type
$generic->bar = 'foo'; // Exception, undefined
?>Defined types
You may override getPropertyType for more granular control.
<?php
use Lavoiesl\AbstractStructure\AbstractStructure;
class Article extends AbstractStructure
{
protected $id;
public function getPropertyType($property)
{
switch ($property) {
case 'id': return 'integer|null';
}
}
}
$generic = new Article;
$generic->id = 1;
$generic->id = null;
$generic->id = 'foo'; // Exception
?>TODO
Consider adding readonly properties
