`webmozarts/assert` version 2.0 now finally supports return values! Use that package (again) instead. It should be a drop-in replacement (just update imports).

Assert Return Value (ARV)
=========================

[](#assert-return-value-arv)

[![Quality Assurance](https://github.com/kkevindev/assert-return-value/actions/workflows/quality_assurance.yaml.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/kkevindev/assert-return-value/actions/workflows/quality_assurance.yaml.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)

This library uses `webmozart/assert` to assert values with the added benefit of returning the value.

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

[](#installation)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install the package:

```
composer require kkevindev/assert-return-value
```

Versioning
----------

Still only supports `webmozart/assert:1.12.0`Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Given the follwing code:

```
class User {
    public function __construct(
        public string $name,
        public string $email,
        public string $role,
    ) {
    }
}

class UserDto {
    public ?string $name = null;
    public ?string $email = null;
    public ?string $role = null;
}
```

This library allows you to write code like this:

```
use Webmozart\Assert\Assert as WebmozartAssert;
use Kkevindev\AssertReturnValue\Assert;

public function create(UserDto $userDto): User
{
    return new User(
       name: Assert::stringNotEmpty($userDto->name),
       email: Assert::stringNotEmpty($userDto->email),
       role: Assert::stringNotEmpty($userDto->role),
    );
}
```

Instead of:

```
use Webmozart\Assert\Assert as WebmozartAssert;
use Kkevindev\AssertReturnValue\Assert;

public function create(UserDto $userDto): User
{
    $name = $userDto->name;
    WebmozartAssert::stringNotEmpty($name);

    $email = $userDto->email;
    WebmozartAssert::stringNotEmpty($email);

    $role = $userDto->role;
    WebmozartAssert::stringNotEmpty($role);

    return new User(
        name: $name,
        email: $email,
        role: $role,
    );
}
```
