DEPRECATED
==========

[](#deprecated)

PHP now supports typed properties. We suggest using [moonspot/value-objects](https://github.com/brianlmoon/value-objects) in place of this library.

PHP Objects with typed/constrained properties
=============================================

[](#php-objects-with-typedconstrained-properties)

A library for creating PHP objects with typed properties.

It supports all of the types that are supported by [dealnews/constraints](https://github.com/dealnews/constraints).

Object with Typed Properties Example
------------------------------------

[](#object-with-typed-properties-example)

```
// A very simple example
class Foo extends \DealNews\TypedObjects\TypedProperty {
    protected $id;
    protected $name;

    const CONSTRAINTS = [
        "id" => [
            "type" => "integer"
        ],
        "name" => [
            "type" => "string"
        ],
    ];
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->id = "1"; // will be integer 1
$foo->id = "string"; // will throw an exception
```

Typed Array Example
-------------------

[](#typed-array-example)

```
class FooSet extends \DealNews\TypedObjects\TypedArray {
    const REQUIRED_TYPE = "Foo";
}

$set = new FooSet();
$set[] = new Foo(); // allowed
$set[] = 1; // Throws an exception
```
