Type checker for PHP
====================

[](#type-checker-for-php)

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require dbt/type-checker
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Check scalar types:

```
Type::of('some-string')->is('string'); // true

// but you don't need to use the factory function if you don't want to:

$type = new Type(12);
$type->is('float'); // false
```

And callables:

```
Type::of('strstr')->is('callable'); // true
Type::of('strstr')->is('string'); // also true
```

And classes:

```
Type::of($myClass)->is(MyClass::class);
Type::of($myClass)->is(MyInterface::class);
```

Throw on failure:

```
Type::of('my string')->mustBe('float'); // Throws WrongType exception
```
