Adds the ability to add properties to a class at runtime.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require benrowe/properties

Usage

class Sample extends AbstractBase
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        // do stuff
        $this->configureProperties();
        // properties now available
    }

    /**
     * This method is automatically called by AbstractBase once
     * the constructor has finished executing
     */
    public function configureProperties()
    {
        $this->
            addProperty('simple')

        $this
            ->addProperty('complex', 'string', 'default value')
            ->setter(function($value) {
                return trim($value);
            })
            ->getter(function($value) {
                return str_reverse($value);
            })
            ->validate(function ($value) {
                return strlen($value) > 0;
            });

    }
}

$sample = new Sample;
$sample->simple = 'test';
$sample->undefined = 'newval'; // throws PropertyException "Undefined property 'undefined'"
$sample->complex; // 'default value'
$sample->complex = ''; // throws PropertyException "property 'complex' invalid value on set"
$sample->complex = ' hello world';
echo $sample->complex; //'dlrow olleh';

Each property is defined programatically (at runtime), and requires the class to run this code (with a hook).

Each property can have a

• name:string
• data type(s): string
• validation: string|closure
• setter: closure
• getter:string
• default value (null): mixed
• value: mixed (depends on data type/validation/setter)

TODO

• add the ability for a setter to reject a value by throwing an exception
• build custom validation support for setting the value
• instead of providing a closure for the setter, provide a laravel style validation string.
• add a helper function to restrict the setter to a list of known values $this->addProperty('key')->isIn(['foo', 'bar']);
