Summary
Type
class has static methods for globalTypeRegistry
instance shorter access likeType::getType
.This feature adds a static method for
TypeRegistry::lookupName
.Thanks to #6082, the reverse lookup is O(1) thus fine to be used massively - for ex. schema introspection returns type as object, and this method is needed to obtain a string name.
In DBAL 4.0, the method can be renamed to
Type::getName(Type $type): string
to be more consistent withType::getType(string $name): Type
.
