PHP Basics
==========

[](#php-basics)

***A collection of generic classes and useful traits for PHP projects.***

The package currently contains classes for [type-sensitive data structures](src/DataStructures/), [error and exception handlers](src/ErrorHandlers/), multiple [traits implementing standard interfaces](src/Interfaces/), and more generic [traits for common use cases](src/Traits/). They share the same design principles like property and method naming schema, highest coding standards of [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/), [Psalm](https://psalm.dev/), [PHP Mess Detector](https://phpmd.org/), [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/), and full [PSR-12](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/) compliance to make sure they can be combined and easily used in other projects.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

The intended and recommended way of using this package is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). The following command will get you the latest version:
