Defining a Struct

Create a class that defines the properties.

use Struct\Struct;

class Contact extends Struct
{
    public string $name;
    public string $company;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public bool $unsubscribed = false;
}

Creating an Struct Object

Create and work with the Object as you normally would

$contact = new Contact();
$contact->name = 'Jon';
$contact->email = 'jonny@example.com';

You can also mass set properties by passing an array to constructor.

$contact = new Contact([
    'name' => 'Jon',
    'company' => 'Snow Enterprises',
    'email' => 'jon@example.com',
    'age' => 33
]);

Exception Handling

If you try to set or get a property that does not exist, a RuntimeException will be thrown.

Cloning

When Structs are cloned, any properties which are objects or arrays which contain objects will also be cloned.

Initialize Hook

When the Struct is constructed it will call initialize method if it is available, this is a hook incase you need to override the constructor.
