Hello, as now we have typed properties in PHP 7.4 what is best practice how to deal with boolean values in the Phalcon 4 models (DB behind is MySQL)? Problem that DB keeps them as shortint(1) but I can't keep properties boolean as I need convert type and set them back in afterFetch/beforeSave so I still use
/*@var $bar int|bool */
public $bar;instead of
public bool $bar;This is a disconnect between what you want (boolean) and what the database uses (tinyint). Basically, MySQL doesn't use boolean values so you can't type the property as bool. I don't believe this is a problem unique to Phalcon.
If you absolutely need to enforce that $bar is always boolean, then I believe you can override \Phalcon\Mvc\Model::__get() and \Phalcon\Mvc\Model::__set to throw exceptions when an attempt is made to set $bar to something non-boolean, in addition to afterFetch() and beforeSave()
