Usage

Comparing Native and PhpThrow exceptions

The following code shows how to use the native InvalidArgumentException class and the ThrowInvalidArgumentException class to throw an exception if the provided value is less than zero:

Native InvalidArgumentException:

try {
    $value = -5;

    if ($value < 0) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException('The value must be greater than or equal to 0.');
    }

    // ...
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

ThrowInvalidArgumentException:

try {
    $value = -5;

    ThrowInvalidArgumentException::ifZeroOrNegative($value);

    // ...
} catch (ThrowInvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

ThrowInvalidArgumentException

ThrowInvalidArgumentException extends the built-in InvalidArgumentException and provides helper methods for throwing exceptions related to invalid arguments.

create()

create($message): Creates a new instance of the exception with the given message.

$email = 'not-a-valid-email-address';

try {
    // Validate the email address
    if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
        throw ThrowInvalidArgumentException::create('Invalid email address');
    }

    // ...
} catch (ThrowInvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(); // Output: Invalid email address
}

ifZeroOrNegative()

ifZeroOrNegative($value, $message = null): Throws an exception if the numeric value is less than 0.

try {
    ThrowInvalidArgumentException::ifZeroOrNegative(-1);
} catch (\PhpThrow\ThrowInvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(); // Output: The value must be greater than or equal to 0.
}

ifZeroOrNegativeWithValue()

ifZeroOrNegativeWithValue($value, $message = null): Throws an exception if the numeric value is negative, including the value in the error message.

try {
    ThrowInvalidArgumentException::ifZeroOrNegativeWithValue(-1);
} catch (\PhpThrow\ThrowInvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(); // Output: The value -1 must be greater than or equal to 0.
}

You can also use a custom message without the placeholder:

ThrowInvalidArgumentException::ifZeroOrNegativeWithValue(
    -1,
    'Value must be positive'
); // Output: Value must be positive. Provided -1

ThrowPageNotFoundException

ThrowPageNotFoundException is used to handle exceptions when a page is not found.

Example: ThrowPageNotFoundException::forPage

use PhpThrow\ThrowPageNotFoundException;

$page = 'non-existent-page';
ThrowPageNotFoundException::forPage($page); // Throws an exception with the message "The page 'non-existent-page' was not found."

Note: By default, the error code is set to 404. You can change it using the code parameter.
