Severe
======

[](#severe)

> Avoid data type conflicts in PHP being more severe

\[TOC\]

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

This repository offers a collection of PHP classes that enforce strict data types, ensuring more reliable and maintainable code. By leveraging these classes, developers can reduce bugs, improve code readability, and enhance overall software quality.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This library requires PHP^8.3

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

[](#installation)

Install `Severe` using Composer:

```
composer require fonil/severe
```

Supported Data Types
--------------------

[](#supported-data-types)

`Severe` supports the following data types:

TypeCategoryVersionArrayGeneric1.0BooleanGeneric1.0ClosureGeneric1.0FloatGeneric1.0IntegerGeneric1.0NullGeneric1.0ObjectGeneric1.0StringGeneric1.0MoneyFinances1.0DomainInternetTODOEmailInternetTODODocumentFile SystemTODOImageFile SystemTODO### Generic Data Types

[](#generic-data-types)

#### Usage

[](#usage)

##### Setters

[](#setters)

`Severe` provides a static public method `set()` that validates the input and creates a data type instance when succeed.

> In case of invalid argument type a `TypeError` is thrown

```
use Severe\TypeString;
use Severe\TypeBoolean;
use Severe\TypeNull;

$string = TypeString::set($var);
$bool = TypeBoolean::set($flag);
$null = TypeNull::set($optional);
...
```

##### Getters

[](#getters)

All `Severe` data type instances are `_invokable` classes so you can get the values as follow:

```
$value = $string();
$flag = $bool();
$optional = $null();
...
```

### Ennumeration Classes

[](#ennumeration-classes)

#### Currency

[](#currency)

To handle valid currencies a backed enumeration class is provided called `Currency` which allows you to get the `name`, `symbol`, `code` and `decimals` for allowed currencies.

##### Usage

[](#usage-1)

###### Examples

[](#examples)

```
use Severe\Enums\Currency;

$currency = Currency::EUR;
echo $currency->value;       // EUR
echo $currency->code();      // 978
echo $currency->name();      // Euro
echo $currency->decimals();  // 2

$currency = Currency::UYI;
echo $currency->value;       // UYI
echo $currency->code();      // 940
echo $currency->name();      // Uruguay Peso en Unidades Indexadas (URUIURUI)
echo $currency->decimals();  // 0

// Dynamic instantiation
$currency = Currency::from('TRY');
echo $currency->value;       // TRY
echo $currency->code();      // 949
echo $currency->name();      // Turkish Lira
echo $currency->decimals();  // 2
```

### Additional Data Types

[](#additional-data-types)

#### Money

[](#money)

Additionally, `Severe` provides a custom data type to handle money entities. Those entities has two components:

- Amount: a float number indicating the amount of money
- Currency: a currency entity

##### Usage

[](#usage-2)

###### Setters

[](#setters-1)

All of those ways are supported and equivalents:

```
use Severe\Enums\Currency;
use Severe\TypeFloat;
use Severe\TypeMoney;

$money = TypeMoney::set(123.456, 'eur');
$money = TypeMoney::set(123.456, Currency::EUR);
$money = TypeMoney::set(TypeFloat::set(123.456), 'EUR');
$money = TypeMoney::set(TypeFloat::set(123.456), Currency::EUR);
```

###### Getters

[](#getters-1)

```
[$amount, $currency] = $money();

// $amount is an instance of TypeFloat
// $currency is an instance of Currency
```

###### Examples

[](#examples-1)

```
$money = TypeMoney::set(123.456789, 'EUR');
[$amount, $currency] = $money();
echo $amount();                  // 123.46
echo $currency->value;           // EUR

$money = TypeMoney::set(123.456789, 'CLF');
echo $money()[0]->__invoke();    // 123.4568
echo $money()[1]->decimals();    // 4
```
