fmt() Helper

  • Type Preservation

    Pass any data type between components with perfect type safety

  • Zero Configuration

    Works automatically with classes, arrays, objects, and primitives

  • Auto Serialization

    Automatic encoding and decoding behind the scenes

  • Type Safe

    Maintains exact type signatures across component boundaries

New in v2.0.1

Enhanced type preservation for component props

Quick Start

<?php
class User {
    public function __construct(
        public string $name,
        public int $age
    ) {}
}

$user = new User('John Doe', 25);
fmt($user);

// Pass to component - receives exact User instance!
return "<UserProfile>{$user}</UserProfile>";

<?php
function UserProfile(User $children) {
    // Type-safe - receives actual User instance
    return <<<HTML
        <div>
            <h2>{$children->name}</h2>
            <p>Age: {$children->age}</p>
        </div>
    HTML;
}

Multiple Arguments

<?php
$product = new Product('iPhone', 999.99);
$options = ['badge' => 'New'];
$theme = 'dark';

fmt($product, $options, $theme);

return "<ProductCard theme='{$theme}' options='{$options}'>{$product}</ProductCard>";

What It Does

fmt() preserves exact data types when passing props between components:

  • ✅ Custom classes remain their original type
  • ✅ Arrays, objects, strings, numbers all preserved
  • ✅ Works with interfaces, readonly properties, enums
  • ✅ Automatic serialization/deserialization

Component Tags Only

Only works with component tag syntax: <Component>{$data}</Component>
