Install
-------

[](#install)

Install using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require andrewcarteruk/typed-arrays ^0.2
```

Warning
-------

[](#warning)

These are objects that act like arrays, they are not native PHP arrays and will not pass an `is_array()` test.

As they are objects, unlike PHP arrays, they are always passed by reference.

Example Usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

```
use TypedArray\StringArray;

$stringArray = new StringArray(['Hello, World!', 'foo' => 'bar']);
// Or, $stringArray = new StringArray();

try {
    $stringArray[] = 1;
} catch (\InvalidArgumentException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}
```

```
use App\Farm\Chicken;
use TypedArray\InstanceArray;

$chickenArray = new InstanceArray(Chicken::class, [new Chicken('Bob')]);

$chickenArray[] = new Chicken('Tony');
$chickenArray['foo'] = new Chicken('Alice');

try {
    $chickenArray[] = 1;
} catch (\InvalidArgumentException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}
```

Available Types
---------------

[](#available-types)

`ArrayArray`, `BoolArray`, `CallableArray`, `FloatArray`, `InstanceArray($classPath)`, `IntArray`, `NumericArray`, `ObjectArray`, `ResourceArray`, `ScalarArray`, `StringArray`.
