Description

State::__callStatic(string $kin, array $lot = []): mixed;

This method will first check if a virtual method is available, if it is available then this method will return the value of that virtual method. If it is not available, this method will check if a state with the same key name as the method name is available. If it is available then this method will return that state. If arguments are given to this method and the returned state is a closure or a class instance, then that closure or class instance will be invoked with the given arguments. Other than that, this method will try to return a state using dot notation access with the second access level being the first argument of this method.

State::_('test', function () {
    return 'test';
});

new State([
    'bar' => function (...$lot) {
        return implode(', ', $lot);
    },
    'baz' => ['qux' => true],
    'foo' => 1,
    'test' => [1, 2, 3]
]);

test(State::foo()); // Returns `1`
test(State::baz()); // Returns `(object) ['qux' => true]`
test(State::baz('qux')); // Returns `true`
test(State::bar()); // Returns `function () { … }`
test(State::bar(1, 2, 3)); // Returns `'1, 2, 3'`

Method name will be normalized by function p2f(), so when you try to call State::dateFormat() for example, internally you are trying to get a state with name date-format. This is also the same when you try to call State::{'date-format'}(). If no state is available, this method returns null.
