> Methods for PHP scalars.

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

[](#installation)

Install great @nikic's [extension](https://github.com/nikic/scalar_objects)that allows to use methods for scalar objects.

```
git clone git://github.com/nikic/scalar_objects.git
cd scalar_objects
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install

```

Then add `nkt/scalar` into your `composer.json`. That's it!

IDE
---

[](#ide)

PHPStorm/IDEA recognize scalars as classes (int, string, etc.) so I've added stubs, that provides simple code completion for this library. Unfortunately `array` is a keyword in grammars, so there is no completion for it.
