Arrays

Arrays might be defined with curly braces or square brackets.

Keys should be quoted quoted and are assigned by using = or => operator.

Keys are optional, if not specified zero-indexed integer keys will be used.

Any type supported by addendum can be array value, including array.

To assign array keys both simplified = symbol can be used or classic => notation.

Square Brackets

With Classic => Key Notation

Example of passing array value with keys using arrow notation and square brackets:

The syntax you already know. With [] brackets and => operator.

@MyAnnotation(['one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3])

Array values can also written with square brackets, just like in plain PHP.

Example of passing array value to annotation:

@MyAnnotation([1, 2, 3])

Example of passing array value with keys:

@MyAnnotation(['one' = 1, 'two' = 2, 'three' = 3])

Example with class literal, and string

@MyAnnotation([MyClassLiteral, 'String value'])

Curly Braces

Example of passing array value to annotation:

@MyAnnotation({1, 2, 3})

Example of passing array value with keys:

@MyAnnotation({'one' = 1, 'two' = 2, 'three' = 3})

Example with class literal, and string

@MyAnnotation({MyClassLiteral, 'String value'})

With Classic => Key Notation

Example of passing array value with keys using classic arrow operator:

@MyAnnotation({'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3})
