MicroDeps/SafeObjects

MicroDeps are all about very small pieces of code that do a single small thing well

This MicroDep is for Safe Objects. This is an implementation of objects that prevent one particular foot gun - dynamic properties.

This uses the magic __get, __set and __isset methods to intercept accesses to non existant properties and throws a helpful exception - with a hint on which property you might have meant if it is a typo, or otherwise listing all public properties.

Installing

You can use Composer if you want to quickly test out the idea, though it is suggested that as this is so small - you might be better just copy/pasting it into your first party code.

composer require lts/microdeps-safeobjects
