VariableSupport

Namespace Chevere\VariableSupport

The VariableSupport component is in charge of providing extra tools for handling variables.

ObjectVariable

The ObjectVariable component is in charge of handling an object variable.

Creating ObjectVariable

use Chevere\VariableSupport\ObjectVariable;

$object = new ObjectVariable($var);
$var = $object->variable();

Assert clonable

Use assertClonable to assert if the object variable can be cloned.

$boolean = $object->assertClonable();

StorableVariable

The StorableVariable component is in charge of handling a variable that can be stored (state).

A storable variable for Chevere is any PHP variable that can be stored as a string representation. All variable types can be stored with the exception of type resource.

Creating StorableVariable

use Chevere\VariableSupport\StorableVariable;

$storable = new StorableVariable($var);
$var = $storable->variable();

Export

The toExport method exports the variable, this return value should be used when creating a file return.

$export = $storable->toExport();
file_put_contents(
    'file-return.php',
    '<?php return '.$export.';'
);

Serialize

The toSerialize method provides a shortcut for serialize($var).

$string = $storable->toSerialize();
