Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) Types RFC
Doc
PHP < 8.2
class Foo {
public function bar(mixed $entity) {
if ($entity === null) {
return null;
}
if ((
$entity instanceof A) && ($entity instanceof B)) {
return $entity;
}
throw new
Exception('Invalid entity');
}
}
PHP 8.2
class Foo {
public function bar((A&B)|null $entity) {
if ($entity === null) {
return null;
}
return
$entity;
}
}
DNF types allow us to combine union and intersection types, following a strict rule: when combining union and intersection types, intersection types must be grouped with brackets.
