Collection
==========

[](#collection)

A simple and concise implementation of strictly typed arrays in PHP. No extra code, just type-checked arrays.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First you need to create your own collection class which extends the `GenericCollection` and sets its type:

```
use Pogulailo\Collection\GenericCollection;

class CustomerCollection extends GenericCollection
{
    public function __construct(...$values)
    {
        parent::__construct(Customer::class, ...$values);
    }
}
```

That's all, then you can enjoy all the advantages of strictly typed arrays:

```
function getCustomers(): CustomerCollection
{
    $customers = new CustomerCollection();

    $customers->append(new Customer());
    $customers->append(new Customer());
    $customers->append(new Customer());

    return $customers;
}

function doSomething(CustomerCollection $customers): void
{
    foreach ($customers as $customer) {
        // Do what you need to do
    }
}

$customers = getCustomers();
doSomething($customers);
```

You can choose not to create your own collection class, but then you will need to do additional type checking:

```
use Pogulailo\Collection\GenericCollection;

function getCustomers(): GenericCollection
{
    $customers = new GenericCollection(Customer::class);

    $customers->append(new Customer());
    $customers->append(new Customer());
    $customers->append(new Customer());

    return $customers;
}

function doSomething(GenericCollection $customers): void
{
    // In this case, you need to check the collection type first
    if ($customers->getType() !== Customer::class) {
        throw new Exception('I need customers, more customers...')
    }

    foreach ($customers as $customer) {
        // Do what you need to do
    }
}

$customers = getCustomers();
doSomething($customers);
```
