PHP is getting more mature and allows us to program strong typed in new ways with each new version, however we still lack the option to have generic lists/arrays. This package aims to provide such a thing in the meantime.

The `TypeSafeCollection` provided by this package will make sure that any object within it is the object you expect.

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

[](#installation)

Add this package to composer.

```
composer require webparking/laravel-type-safe-collection

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
/**
 * @method \ArrayIterator|User[] getIterator()
 * @method User|null             first()
 */
class UserCollection extends TypeSafeCollection
{
    protected $type = User::class;
}
```

```
class User extends Model
{
    public function newCollection(array $models = []): UserCollection
    {
        return new UserCollection($models);
    }
}
```

All queries on User that would result in a Collection will now result in a UserCollection.

```
get_class(User::all()) // UserCollection
get_class(User::where('type', '=', 'admin')->get()) // UserCollection
get_class(User::where('id', '=', 1)->first()) // User
```
