Decimal Value Object

Decimal value object for PHP.

Background

When working with monetary values, normal data types like int or float are not suitable for exact arithmetic. Handling them as string is a workaround, but as value object you can more easily encapsulate some of the logic.

Solutions like https://php-decimal.io require a PHP extension. This makes it faster, but also more difficult for some servers to be available.

Features

• Basic math operations supported
• Immutability

Note: This library is a sandbox/showcase and for testing right now only. Use with Caution.

TODO

• Rounding

• sum(), average(), max(), min() as static methods?
• modulo()?
• shift()?
• isEven()/isOdd()?
