Methods summary
`public static integer`	# `toInteger( float\|integer\|string $value )` Converts value to integer type Converts value to integer type Parameters `$value` `float\|integer\|string` $value Returns `integer` Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If $value cannot be converted to integer
`public static array`	# `toIntegerArray( array $items, mixed $allowNullValues = false )` Converts all values in array to integer types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Converts all values in array to integer types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Parameters `$items` `array` $items `$allowNullValues` Returns `array` Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any element in array containts null value or cannot be converted to integer
`public static string`	# `toString( mixed $value )` Converts value to string Converts value to string Parameters `$value` `mixed` $value Value Returns `string` Resulting string Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If value cannot be converted to string, or its length exceeds given $length
`public static string`	# `toFixedString( mixed $value, integer $length )` Converts value to string and checks it doesn't exceed maximum length Converts value to string and checks it doesn't exceed maximum length Parameters `$value` `mixed` $value Value `$length` `integer` $length Maximum allowed string length Returns `string` Resulting string Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If value cannot be converted to string, or its length exceeds given $length
`public static array`	# `toStringArray( array $items, mixed $allowNullValues = false )` Converts all values in array to string types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Converts all values in array to string types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Parameters `$items` `array` $items Array of values convertible to strings `$allowNullValues` Returns `array` Array of strings with reindexed keys Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any array element cannot be converted to string
`public static array`	# `toFixedStringArray( array $items, type $length, mixed $allowNullValues = false )` Converts all values in array to string types and checks that each string length doesn't exceed maximum length. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Converts all values in array to string types and checks that each string length doesn't exceed maximum length. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Parameters `$items` `array` $items Array of values convertible to strings `$length` `type` $length Maximum allowed string length `$allowNullValues` Returns `array` Array of strings with reindexed keys Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any array element cannot be converted to string, or its value exceeds given $length
`public static boolean`	# `toBoolean( boolean\|string\|integer $value )` Converts value to boolean; valid string values are: 'true','1', 'on','false','0','off' (all case-insensitive); valid integer values are 0 and 1 Converts value to boolean; valid string values are: 'true','1', 'on','false','0','off' (all case-insensitive); valid integer values are 0 and 1 Parameters `$value` `boolean\|string\|integer` Source value Returns `boolean` Converted value Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If value cannot be converted to boolean
`public static array`	# `toBooleanArray( array $items, mixed $allowNullValues = false )` Converts all values in array to bool types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. For list of valid values, see: `NGS\Converter\PrimitiveConverter::toBoolean()` Converts all values in array to bool types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. For list of valid values, see: `NGS\Converter\PrimitiveConverter::toBoolean()` Parameters `$items` `array` $items Array of values convertible to booleans. `$allowNullValues` Returns `array` Array of booleans with reindexed keys Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any array element cannot be converted to string, or its value exceeds given $length
`public static float`	# `toFloat( boolean\|string\|integer $value )` Converts value to float. Converts value to float. Parameters `$value` `boolean\|string\|integer` Source value Returns `float` Converted value Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If value cannot be converted to float
`public static array`	# `toFloatArray( array $items, mixed $allowNullValues = false )` Converts all values in array to float types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Converts all values in array to float types. Resulting array will be reindexed with numeric indices. Parameters `$items` `array` $items `$allowNullValues` Returns `array` Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any element in array containts null value or cannot be converted to float
`public static array`	# `toMap( array $items )` Converts all values in array to string type. As toStringArray, but preserves original array keys. Converts all values in array to string type. As toStringArray, but preserves original array keys. Parameters `$items` `array` $items Array of values convertible to strings Returns `array` Array of strings with preserved original keys Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any array element cannot be converted to string
`public static array`	# `toMapArray( array $items )` Converts all values in array to string map (string array), runs toMap() on each element. Converts all values in array to string map (string array), runs toMap() on each element. Parameters `$items` `array` $items Array of string maps Returns `array` Array of string arrays with preserved original keys Throws `InvalidArgumentException` If any array element cannot be converted to string map
