- Do you fight the `mixed` signature of `app()->make()` when resolving objects?
- Do you want to effortlessly guarantee the resolved object is the expected object?
- Do you use static analysis on your [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) app?

[MakeAs](https://github.com/smpita/makeas) will make sure you make the object you expect, and nicely type the return for static analysis.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require smpita/makeas

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you bound an object to its class-string

```
$typed = app()->makeAs(Bound::class);
```

Of course, you can pass in parameters

```
$typed = app()->makeAs(Bound::class, []);
```

If you bound an object with a magic string

```
$typed = app()->makeAs('magic-string', [], Bound::class);
```

Signature
---------

[](#signature)

```
makeAs(string $abstract, array $parameters = [], string $expected = null): mixed
```
