Stringable
Interface for easy identification of classes that implement PHP’s magic
__toString
method., (*2)
Provided is the interface itself that establishes the contract that implementing classes have to have the magic method.
As well as a dummy class that can be used in tests as a substitute for doubles, stubs, or mocks., (*3)
Installation
Open a terminal, enter your project directory and execute the following command to add this package to your
dependencies:, (*4)
$ composer require fleshgrinder/stringable
This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the
installation chapter of the Composer documentation., (*5)
Usage
IMPORTANT
You cannot throw any exceptions in a __toSring
method due to Zend engine limitations. Please vote and comment on the
this PHP request and lets hope this will be fixed., (*6)
Simply implement the interface and PHP’s magic __toString
method., (*7)
class YourClass implements Stringable {
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
public function __toString() {
return '';
}
}
