Introducing Bag 1.0: Immutable Values Objects for PHP

1. Brick\Money

   1 15 1,769 6.2 PHP

   A money and currency library for PHP (by brick)

   

   For the last couple of years I’ve been using Value Objects in my projects to bring language-level strict types to what would typically be array data structures in my code. From method inputs to JSON API responses, value objects have almost entirely replaced arrays throughout. The ability to get runtime type checking and IDE auto-complete has eliminated many potential bugs, from key typos, to assigning an incorrectly typed value by accident: what type is an “amount” property in a credit card transaction API response? An integer of cents (or other minor units), a Money object such as brick/money or moneyphp/money? Or worst of all, a float?

   Immutable Value Objects for PHP

   

   For Bag, currently I consider it to be feature complete and have released v1.0.0. I am currently working on support for Bag-less value objects: that is, support for using any class as a value object — if you want to contribute to this idea, you can comment on the RFC.
