IReflection

Latest Stable Version Build Status Coverage Status

Wrapper around PHP Reflection to make it easier to use.

Requirements

  • PHP >= 5.4

Installation

The recommended way to install is through composer.

Just create a composer.json file for your project:

{
    "require": {
        "eso/ireflection": "@stable"
    }
}

Tip: browse eso/ireflection page to choose a stable version to use, avoid the @stable meta constraint.

And run these two commands to install it:

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ composer install

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Get/set some properties using Reflection:

class A { protected $a = 5; protected $b = 10; }
$a = new A();
$refClass = new \ReflectionClass($a);
$propA = $refClass->getProperty('a');
$propB = $refClass->getProperty('b');

$propA->setAccessible(true);
$propB->setAccessible(true);

echo $propA->getValue($a) . "\n"; // prints 5
echo $propB->getValue($a) . "\n"; // prints 10

$propA->setValue($a, 10);
$propB->setValue($a, 20);

echo $propA->getValue($a) . "\n"; // prints 10
echo $propB->getValue($a) . "\n"; // prints 20

Get/set the same properties using ReflClass:

class A { protected $a = 5; protected $b = 10; }
$a = new A();
$refClass = ReflClass::create($a);

echo $refClass->getAnyPropertyValue('a') . "\n"; // prints 5
echo $refClass->getAnyPropertyValue('b') . "\n"; // prints 10

$refClass->setAnyPropertiesValues(array('a' => 10, 'b' => 20));

echo $refClass->getAnyPropertyValue('a') . "\n"; // prints 10
echo $refClass->getAnyPropertyValue('b') . "\n"; // prints 20

Other example, invoke a method:

class A { function sum($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } }
$a = new A();

$method = (new \ReflectionClass($a))->getMethod('sum');
$method->setAccessible(true);
echo $method->invokeArgs($a, array(5, 3)) . "\n"; // prints 8

Using ReflClass:

class A { function sum($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } }
$a = new A();

echo ReflClass::create($a)->invokeAnyMethod('sum', array(10, 3)); // prints 8
