Exceptionist
============

[](#exceptionist)

Exceptionist tries to provide more control over which exceptions are thrown without losing any important information. It's providing a simple logging mechanism for objects to save all its exceptions and control which one of those should actually be thrown when the object is executed.

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

[](#requirements)

Exceptionist is currently developed and designed around PHP 7.3. Earlier versions are not tested and for now not planned to be supported. [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) is required.

Install
-------

### Composer
