The match of type @integer@ doesn't work. about php-matcher

Could you share your pattern and data you are trading to match against?

I added only the library to the composer.

// src/index.php
<?php

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

// https://github.com/coduo/php-matcher/blob/6.x/src/PHPMatcher.php#L55
$factory = new Coduo\PHPMatcher\Factory\MatcherFactory();
$backtrace = new Coduo\PHPMatcher\Backtrace\VoidBacktrace();

$matcher = $factory->createMatcher($backtrace);

$matcher->match('1', '@number@'); // is true
$matcher->match(1, '@number@'); // is true
$matcher->match('1', '@integer@'); // is true <- wrong
$matcher->match(1, '@integer@'); // is true

Ahh I see, the problem is that Matcher Factory is creating a chain of matchers, they are executed in a specific order.
It works this way because typically, you want to use matcher against JSON files, so what happens here is that TextMatcher recognizes your input as a text and it's probably using the wrong matcher.

I think the problem is an order of matchers here but it's been a while since I looked into this logic so you might need to play with it a bit.
