Strict attribute types

[NaLLiFFuNT]

The problem

I work on api. I use RedisActiveRecord.
I do create request
{
stringValue : '123'
intValue : 20,
boolValue : true
}

I load AR model & save it.
So, model have integer validator for intValue & bool Validator for boolValue

when i do get request
I find model by Id from RedisDB & return $model->toArray().
the ploblem that after loading from DB intValue & boolValue become string '20' & '1'.

Suggestion

Maybe that is not a problem for PHP7. But at this momen i don't have ability to upgrade a php version. I guess, you can face the challenge with other DB & AR.
I'd suggest following solution.
Add method attributeTypes to BaseActiveRecord which return array in following format
[
'attributeName1'=> 'int'
'attributeName2'=> 'bool'
'attributeName3'=> 'string'
]

in __set method we have to verify type of value for attribute & bring it, if it's required.

Additional info

I saw similar solution at Laravel and i find it very usefull.
