❤ Simple PHP Code Parser

Forked from voku/Simple-PHP-Code-Parser

You can simply scan a string, a file or a full directory and you can see a simple data structure from your php code.

• Classes (PHPClass)
• Properties (PHPProperties)
• Constants (PHPConst)
• Methods (PHPMethod)
• Interfaces (PHPInterface)
• Traits (PHPTrait)
• Functions (PHPFunction)
• Parameter (PHPParameter)

This code is forked from JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs but you can't use the classes from "phpstorm-stubs" directly, because they are in a test namespace and the autoloader is "autoload-dev", so here is a extended version.

We will use:

• nikic/PHP-Parser
• Reflection
• phpDocumentor
• PHPStan/phpdoc-parser

Install via "composer require"

composer require voku/simple-php-code-parser

Quick Start

Parse a string:

$code = '
<?php
namespace voku\tests;
class SimpleClass {}
$obja = new class() {};
$objb = new class {};
class AnotherClass {}
';
$phpCode = \voku\SimplePhpParser\Parsers\PhpCodeParser::getFromString($code);
$phpClasses = $phpCode->getClasses();

var_dump($phpClasses['voku\tests\SimpleClass']); // "PHPClass"-object

Parse one class:

$phpCode = \voku\SimplePhpParser\Parsers\PhpCodeParser::getFromClassName(Dummy::class);
$phpClasses = $phpCode->getClasses();

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]); // "PHPClass"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods); // "PHPMethod[]"-objects

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']); // "PHPMethod"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters); // "PHPParameter[]"-objects

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters['useRandInt']); // "PHPParameter"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters['useRandInt']->type); // "bool"

Parse one file:

$phpCode = \voku\SimplePhpParser\Parsers\PhpCodeParser::getPhpFiles(__DIR__ . '/Dummy.php');
$phpClasses = $phpCode->getClasses();

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]); // "PHPClass"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods); // "PHPMethod[]"-objects

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']); // "PHPMethod"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters); // "PHPParameter[]"-objects

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters['useRandInt']); // "PHPParameter"-object

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]->methods['withoutPhpDocParam']->parameters['useRandInt']->type); // "bool"

Parse many files:

$phpCode = \voku\SimplePhpParser\Parsers\PhpCodeParser::getPhpFiles(__DIR__ . '/src');
$phpClasses = $phpCode->getClasses();

var_dump($phpClasses[Dummy::class]); // "PHPClass"-object
