- [Installation](#installation)
- [Usage](#usage)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Open a terminal, enter your project directory and execute the following command to add this package to your dependencies:

```
$ composer require fleshgrinder/value
```

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the [installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) of the Composer documentation.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The `Value` class currently contains a single static method called `getValue`and constants with the names of each of PHP’s types, corresponding to the values returned by the `getValue` method. There are currently no plans to extend this API and the following functionality is considered feature complete unless new types are added or old ones are removed.
