Examiner
========

[](#examiner)

Let's you quickly examine, or rather evaluate, objects and/or datatypes. Depends primarily on basic functions and Reflection classes to ensure speedy evaluations.

Please remember that, when working with objects, you should only be able to check for PUBLIC members. Trying to access private or protected members from outside an object (except inherited) is pointless.

Programming use cases
---------------------

[](#programming-use-cases)

Examine if the provided `thing` is of given type and then call the argument given. If it's not of given type, either null will be returned or the given closure will be executed.

Examples:

When
----

[](#when)

```
$bool = true;
examine($bool)->whenBoolean(
    fn () => true,   // True block
    fn () => false   // False block
);

```

Objects
-------

[](#objects)

```
$var = new SomeObject();
examine($var)->instanceOf(AbstractObject);
examine($var)->hasTrait(AbstractObject);
examine($var)->hasMethod('objectMethod');
examine($var)->hasProperty('objectProperty');

```

Datatypes
---------

[](#datatypes)

### Booleans

[](#booleans)

```
$bool = true;
examine($bool)->isTrue(); // true
examine($bool)->isFalse(); // false (duh)
examine($bool)->isEmpty(); // MethodNotFoundException
examine($bool)->ignoreType()->isEmpty(); // null

```

### Strings

[](#strings)

```
examine(' ')->couldBeTrue(); // true
examine('')->couldBeTrue(); // false
examine(0)->couldBeTrue(); // false
examine(0)->couldBeFalse(); // true
examine(' ')->isEmpty(); // false
examine('')->isEmpty(); // true
examine(null)->isEmpty(); // MethodNotFoundException
examine(0)->couldBeTrue(); // false
examine(0)->couldBeFalse(); // true

```

### Integers & floats

[](#integers--floats)

```
examine(1)->isInt(); // true
examine(1)->isFloat(); // false
examine(1.0)->isFloat(); // true
examine(1.0)->isInt(); // false
examine(1)->isTrue(); // false
examine(1)->couldBeTrue(); // true

examine(1.0)->whenFloat(fn () => 13.45);

```

How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window.

**Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores.

**Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement.

**Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability.
