ScalarSerializer

ScalarSerializer can convert only PHP scalars.

Usage

$scalarSerializer = new \Botanick\Serializer\Serializer\DataSerializer\ScalarSerializer();
$scalarSerializer->setDefaultOptions($defaultOptions);
if ($scalarSerializer->supports($data)) {
    $serializedData = $scalarSerializer->serialize($data, null, $options);
}

Options

array(
    'type' => 'bool', // supports: 'bool', 'boolean', 'int', 'integer', 'number', 'float', 'double', 'real', 'string'
    'format' => 'anything processable by sprintf() containing one and only one placeholder (e.g. %s)'
)

Supports

is_scalar($data)

Serialize

When type is provided and is one of supported ones, then an argument will be converted using (casting) (e.g. return (bool)$data;).

If format option is provided, then sprintf($format, $data) is used.

If neither supported type nor format is provided, then serializer returns an argument itself.
