TypeDetector is php library to detect variable types by the key name and the value. The thinkings inherit from [superunit](https://github.com/yarcowang/superunit) and [php-schema](https://github.com/yarcowang/php-schema) ( *both are my experimental projects* ).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install this library.

`composer require yarco/type-detector`

Use the class's static method `array TypeDetector::detect(array $array)` to get key-value pair of the types.

Example:

```
use Yarco\TypeDetector;

$result = TypeDetector::detect(['name' => 'yarco', 'age' => 36]);
print_r($result);

/*
it should return

Array
(
    [name] => string
    [age] => smallint
)

*/
```
