If you are familiar with static analysis tool like phpstan, you've probably encountered `Cannot cast mixed to string` error (or similar). This is usually happen when you try to cast a value returned from a method/function with a `mixed` return type. With this package you can get a string value (and not only string) directly from the [Arr helper](https://laravel.com/docs/master/helpers#arrays) like: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var \Illuminate\Support\Stringable $myValue */ $myValue = Arr::string($data, 'my-value'); ``` Support Me ---------- [](#support-me) Hey folks, Do you like this package?

Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require lemaur/laravel-typed-arr ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Retrieving Stringable from Arr helper [](#retrieving-stringable-from-arr-helper) You may use the `string` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as an instance of `Illuminate\Support\Stringable`: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var \Illuminate\Support\Stringable $name */ $name = Arr::string($data, 'name'); ``` ### Retrieving Boolean from Arr helper [](#retrieving-boolean-from-arr-helper) You may use the `boolean` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a boolean. The `boolean` method returns `true` for 1, "1", true, "true", "on", and "yes". All other values will return `false`: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var bool $archived */ $archived = Arr::boolean($data, 'archived'); ``` ### Retrieving Integer from Arr helper [](#retrieving-integer-from-arr-helper) You may use the `integer` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as an integer: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var int $count */ $count = Arr::integer($data, 'count'); ``` ### Retrieving Float from Arr helper [](#retrieving-float-from-arr-helper) You may use the `float` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a float: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var float $amount */ $amount = Arr::float($data, 'amount'); ``` ### Retrieving Date from Arr helper [](#retrieving-date-from-arr-helper) You may use the `date` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a Carbon instance: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var \Carbon\Carbon $birthday */ $birthday = Arr::date($data, 'birthday'); ``` The second and third arguments accepted by the `date` method may be used to specify the date's format and timezone, respectively: ``` use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var \Carbon\Carbon $elapsed */ $elapsed = Arr::date($data, 'elapsed', '!H:i', 'Europe/Madrid'); ``` In case of an invalid format, an `InvalidArgumentException` will be thrown. ### Retrieving Enum from Arr helper [](#retrieving-enum-from-arr-helper) You may use the `enum` method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a [PHP enum](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.enumerations.php) instance. In case of an invalid value or the enum does not have a backing value that matches the input value, `null` will be returned. The `enum` method accepts the name of the input value and the enum class as its first and second arguments: ``` use App\Enums\Status; use \Illuminate\Support\Arr; /** @var Status $status */ $status = Arr::enum($data, 'status', Status::class); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
