---------

[](#functions)

### `format(mixed $value): string`

[](#formatmixed-value-string)

```
format(null);                 // null
format(true);                 // true
format(42);                   // 42
format("it's fine");          // 'it\'s fine'
format([1, 2, 3]);            // list{1, 2, 3}
format(['a' => 1, 'b' => 2]); // array{a: 1, b: 2}
format((object)['x' => 1]);   // object{x: 1}
format(Status::Active);       // Status::Active
format(new MyClass());        // MyClass
format(fn() => null);         // function@src/foo.php:12()
```

### `formatClass(string|object $class): string`

[](#formatclassstringobject-class-string)

Formats a class name. Anonymous classes get a readable `file:line` label.

```
formatClass(MyClass::class); // MyClass
formatClass(new MyClass());  // MyClass
formatClass(new class {});   // class@src/foo.php:42
```

### `formatFunction(callable $function): string`

[](#formatfunctioncallable-function-string)

Formats a callable.

```
formatFunction('strlen');                       // strlen()
formatFunction('MyClass::myMethod');            // MyClass::myMethod()
formatFunction([MyClass::class, 'myMethod']);   // MyClass::myMethod()
formatFunction(fn() => null);                   // function@src/foo.php:12()
formatFunction(new MyInvokable());              // MyInvokable()
```

### `formatParameter(callable $function, int|string $parameter): string`

[](#formatparametercallable-function-intstring-parameter-string)

Formats a parameter reference by index or name.

```
formatParameter('myFunction', 'value');  // myFunction($value)
formatParameter('myFunction', 0);        // myFunction($0)
```

### `formatProperty(string|object $class, string $property): string`

[](#formatpropertystringobject-class-string-property-string)

Formats a property reference.

```
formatProperty(MyClass::class, 'name');  // MyClass::$name
formatProperty(new MyClass(), 'name');   // MyClass::$name
```
