Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require decodelabs/coercion

Usage

Pass any mixed value to the available coerce methods to ensure input types in constructors:

use DecodeLabs\Coercion;

class MyClass {

    protected string $string;
    protected ?string $optionalString;
    protected int $int;

    public function __construct(array $params) {
        $this->string = Coercion::toString($params['maybeString']);
        $this->optionalString = Coercion::toStringOrNull($params['maybeString']);
        $this->int = Coercion::toInt($params['maybeInt']);
    }
}
