PHP Custom List

Class to wrap array of items to force same type. This is for avoid the php array type hinting problem.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.2

Usage

Extends the CustomList abstract class and set the type of the items with getListType method:

use Letsgoi\CustomList\CustomList;

class ItemList extends CustomList
{
    protected function getListType(): string
    {
        return Item::class;  
    }
}

//

$items = [new Item(), new Item(), ...];
$list = new ItemList($items);

To iterate items:

foreach ($list as $item) {
    //
}

You can use the list as an array (set, get, ...)

Available methods

get($key = null)

Return item by key or all list without it:

$list->get(0); // 'item'

$list->get(); // ['item', 'item', ...]

add($item)

Append item to list:

$list->add($item);

merge(... $customLists)

Merges the elements of one or more custom lists together

$list->merge($list1, $list2 ...);
