Extendable

The base Constraint class can be extended to add new abstract types.

Example

// A very simple example $constraint = \DealNews\Constraints\Constraint::init(); $value = "1"; try { $value = $constraint->check($value, ["type" => "integer"]); // $value will now be integer 1 } catch (\DealNews\Constraints\ConstraintException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); }
