Hi internals,
This is a proposal to allow to append the `default` pattern by comma to
the end of the last match branch. (Like a conditional_expression)
This allows to re-use the return_expression if required and avoids code
duplication.
PROPOSAL: PHP 8.2
<?php
return match ($locale) {
'de_DE', 'de_CH', 'de_AT' => loadGermanLanguageSettings(),
'en_US', 'en_GB', default => loadDefaultLanguageSettings(),
};
?>
// PHP 8.1 (Current implementation works like before)
<?php
return match ($locale) {
'de_DE', 'de_CH', 'de_AT' => loadGermanLanguageSettings(),
'en_US', 'en_GB' => loadDefaultLanguageSettings(),
default => loadDefaultLanguageSettings(),
};
?>
The `default` pattern must be the last item in the last expression branch.
Thanks,
Andreas
