Type representation interfaces

A set of interfaces to provide a generic API to get the string, integer, float, boolean and array representation of an object.

Example


use NoreSources\IntegerRepresentation;
use NoreSources\StringRepresentation;

class Three implements IntegerRepresentation, StringRepresentation {
 
 // IntegerRepresentation
 public function getIntegerValue () {
  return 3;
 }
 // StringRepresentation is just a syntactic sugar to indicates the object implements the __toString magic method
 public function __toString () {
  return 'three';
 }
}
$t = new Three();
if ($t instanceof StringRepresentation) 
  echo (\strval ($t) . PHP_EOL); // "three"
if ($t instanceof IntegerRepresentation)
  echo ($t->getIntegerValue () . PHP_EOL); // 3

// Or using TypeConversion
echo (TypeConversion::toString ($t) . PHP_EOL); // "three"
