PHP Prim is a PHP library that exposes primitive object data types for your convenience.

Installation

>Requirements: >- PHP 7.3+ >- BC Math extension (for UUIDs) >- JSON extension >- Multibyte String extension

Install Prim using Composer:

composer require norse-blue/prim

Usage

There are three ways to create a primitive object data type instance

1. Using the new keyword:

   `php use NorseBlue\Prim\Scalars\StringObject as Str;

   $str = new Str('my string'); echo $str->upper();

   // Outputs: // MY STRING `

2. Using the facades:

   _Note: params passed by reference are not supported in facades because the calls depend on __callStatic, which does not pass params by reference. See [Overloading][php_overloading_url]._

   `php use NorseBlue\Prim\Facades\Scalar\StringFacade as Str;

   echo Str::upper('my string');

   // Outputs: // MY STRING `

3. Using the namespaced functions:

   `php use NorseBlue\Prim\string;

   $str = string('my string'); echo $str->upper();

   // Outputs: // MY STRING `

You can also chain methods together:

use NorseBlue\Prim\string;

$str = string('THIS IS MY TEXT.')->lower()->ucfirst();
echo $str;

// Outputs:
// This is my text.

You don't need to worry about side-effects, as the objects are immutable and each function returns a new immutable object, so to store the value don't forget to assign it to a variable.
