note 121273 added to class.traversable

The PHP7 iterable pseudo type will match both Traversable and array. Great for return type-hinting so that you do not have to expose your Domain to Infrastructure code, e.g. instead of a Repository returning a Cursor, it can return hint 'iterable': <?php UserRepository::findUsers(): iterable ?> Link: http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.new-features.php#migration71.new-features.iterable-pseudo-type Also, instead of: <?php if( !is_array( $items ) && !$items instanceof Traversable ) //Throw exception here ?> You can now do with the is_iterable() method: <?php if ( !is_iterable( $items )) //Throw exception here ?> Link: http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-iterable.php ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 150.101.223.223 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/class.traversable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121273 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121273 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121273 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
