PHP Value Objects

A library designed to take an object oriented approach when working with primitive types in php.

Installation

composer require endeavors/support-vo

Usage

Using this package is fairly straightforward. Simply create the value object and you are ready to go. Most of the value objects offer a factory creation:

SomeClass::create('somevalue');

The value given to the value object is validated.

An email address value object:

use Endeavors\Support\VO\EmailAddress;

// is valid
EmailAddress::create('bob@email.com');

// will throw an exception
EmailAddress::create('somevalue');

A day value object:

use Endeavors\Support\VO\Time\Day;

// is valid
Day::fromSeconds(60 * 60 * 24);

// will throw an exception
Day::fromSeconds("an invalid second");

to-do

1. Support more built-in string functions e.g. trim, rtrim
2. Support specific objects other than email such as phone, state, or country
3. Determine performance of position method in ModernString
4. Add more comprehensive documentation
