Var type check for Twig
=======================

[](#var-type-check-for-twig)

With var type check, is easy to create a list of requirements that the vars passed into a template must meet.

DSL
---

[](#dsl)

The structure of the check is really simple and expressive

`varType` **nameOfTheVariable** `expects` **type** `required (optional, the default is false)`

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
... inside the template we declare the requirements

{# this is optional and if defined needs to be a string #}
{% varType title expects string %}

{# this is required and needs to be a int #}
{% varType age expects int required %}
```

Structure definition
--------------------

[](#structure-definition)

Some types allow to define a structure of types using the word `of` followed by an object.

```
... inside the template we declare the requirements

{% varType data expects array of {title: {type: 'string', required: true}, desc: {type: 'string'}} %}
```

Available checkers
------------------

[](#available-checkers)

CheckerTypeAllow structure`array`ArrayYes`bool`BoolNo`float`FloatNo`int`IntegerNo`numeric`NumericNo`object`ObjectYes`string`StringNoInstall
-------

[](#install)

Install the bundle with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org): `composer require trapvincenzo/var-type-check`.

Add to your `AppKernel.php` the following:

```
$bundles[] = new \Trapvincenzo\Bundle\VarTypeCheckBundle\TrapvincenzoVarTypeCheckBundle();
```

Probably you want to enable this bundle only on `dev` and not in `prod`.

Create a custom type checker
----------------------------

[](#create-a-custom-type-checker)

If you need to add some custom type checker to your app, it needs to implement the `Trapvincenzo\Bundle\VarTypeCheckBundle\Service\Type\TypeCheckerInterface` and the service must be tagged with `trapvincenzo.vartypecheck.type_checker`.

```
class CustomTypeChecker implements TypeCheckerInterface
{
 ...
}
```

```
services:
  vartypecheck.typer_checker_custom:
     class: CustomTypeChecker
     tags:
         - { name: trapvincenzo.vartypecheck.type_checker }
```
