Callback Functions
******************

.[perex]
[api:Nette\Utils\Callback] is a static class, which contains functions for working with [PHP callbacks |https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php].


Installation:

```shell
composer require nette/utils
```

All examples assume the following class alias is defined:

```php
use Nette\Utils\Callback;
```


check($callable, bool $syntax=false): callable .[method]
--------------------------------------------------------

Checks that `$callable` is valid PHP callback. Otherwise throws `Nette\InvalidArgumentException`. If the `$syntax` is set to true, the function only verifies that `$callable` has a valid structure to be used as a callback, but does not verify if the class or method actually exists. Returns `$callable`.

```php
Callback::check('trim'); // no exception
Callback::check(['NonExistentClass', 'method']); // throws Nette\InvalidArgumentException
Callback::check(['NonExistentClass', 'method'], true); // no exception
Callback::check(function () {}); // no exception
Callback::check(null); // throws Nette\InvalidArgumentException
```


toString($callable): string .[method]
-------------------------------------

Converts PHP callback to textual form. Class or method may not exists.

```php
Callback::toString('trim');                // 'trim'
Callback::toString(['MyClass', 'method']); // 'MyClass::method'
```


toReflection($callable): ReflectionMethod|ReflectionFunction .[method]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Returns reflection for method or function used in PHP callback.

```php
$ref = Callback::toReflection('trim');
// $ref is ReflectionFunction('trim')

$ref = Callback::toReflection(['MyClass', 'method']);
// $ref is ReflectionMethod('MyClass', 'method')
```


isStatic($callable): bool .[method]
-----------------------------------

Checks whether PHP callback is function or static method.

```php
Callback::isStatic('trim');                // true
Callback::isStatic(['MyClass', 'method']); // true
Callback::isStatic([$obj, 'method']);      // false
Callback::isStatic(function () {});        // false
```


unwrap(Closure $closure): callable|array .[method]
--------------------------------------------------

Unwraps closure created by `Closure::fromCallable`:https://www.php.net/manual/en/closure.fromcallable.php.

```php
$closure = Closure::fromCallable(['MyClass', 'method']);
Callback::unwrap($closure);     // ['MyClass', 'method']
```
