calmohallag/nullable-casting
============================

PHP supports expression casting to primitive type (like int) by using “( type ) expression”, but it currently doesn't allow to use a nullable type as introduced by PHP 7.1 (e.g. ?int). This library provide functions that extend native php casting, adding nullable casting.
