About
-----

[](#about)

The reference printer for **TypeLang**. It renders `TypeLang\Type\*` AST nodes back into their string representation.

Two printers are provided:

- `NativeTypePrinter` — outputs a valid, native PHP type declaration.
- `PrettyTypePrinter` — outputs the full PHPStan/Psalm-style type, formatted across multiple lines.

Full documentation is available at [typelang.dev](https://typelang.dev).

```
composer require type-lang/printer

```
$parser = new TypeLang\Parser\TypeParser();

$type = $parser->parse(
