ComplexPrimitiveTypes
=====================

[](#complexprimitivetypes)

Complex list and map types for PHP

API
===

[](#api)

The TypedMap and TypedList API support almost the same interface as an Array (see (ArrayObject)\[\] for an example of this) the differences are in the key values these two types allow and the icompatability with the array\_\* functions

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Simple subclass `TypedList` or `TypedMap` for each kind of list or map you want, then write the `isType()` or `keyType()` and `valueType()` methods.

Example:

```
class StringList extends TypedList
    {

      /**
       * @param mixed $val
       * @return bool
       */
      protected function isType($val)
      {
          return is_string($val);
      }
  }
```

You can now use StringList as you would a normal array. If someone attempts to put a non string in your list, an exception will be thrown immediately.
