Encoder
=======

[](#encoder)

DI friendly + best practice encode/decode.

Best practice such as always setting assoc = true for json\_decode.

DI friendly to make it easier to test your code. You can test what happens on specific encode/decode errors without having to craft input that causes them.

Just mock the Encoder and have it behave the way you want to test.

Encoder vs Trait
----------------

[](#encoder-vs-trait)

There is no behavioural difference between the Encoder and the Trait.

Use the Encoder version for any service class. This let's you mock it and thus mock encode/decode issues without having to craft inputs that produce them.

Use the Trait when you need the same functionality in a data class.

Dev
---

[](#dev)

This repo assumes you have a suitable version of Docker available.

Copy `.env.dist` to `.env`. It's very unlikely you'll need to update these values.

Run `./bin/composer install`.

The standard Leverage Toolchain scripts are available in `./vendor/bin/`.

Make sure to run `./vendor/bin/verify` before you push.
