Download the PHP package wyrihaximus/json-throwable without Composer

JSON encode and decode throwables and exceptions

Installation

To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ~.

Usage

This package comes with four functions:

• throwable_json_encode - Encodes any Throwable to a JSON string
• throwable_encode - Encodes any Throwable to an array
• throwable_json_decode - Decodes a JSON string in the format from throwable_json_encode into the original Exception or Error
• throwable_decode - Decodes an array in the format from throwable_encode into the original Exception or Error

Heads up

There are a few gotchas when using this package.

• Both the encoding functions drop the arguments from the trace.
• Because we can't overwrite the trace, a new one will be placed in the originalTrace property when available.
• Any previous Throwables will also be encoded and decoded but always with throwable_json_*.

Example of gaining access to the original trace, it isn't optimal, but it works:

Alternatively you can use the trait supplied by this package:

Including additional properties from throwables

If your throwables include any properties you'd want to take along when it gets encoded, implement the AdditionalPropertiesInterface returning a list of all properties you'd want to haved included in the encoding:

Encode/Decode array type hint

When you're calling throwable_encode or throwable_decode the array (return) type hint has the following signature:

This signature isn't enforce by PHP but tools like PHPStan or Psalm will use it to assert type safety from a static analysis pont of view.
