Description
Setter allows you to set private object attributes directly, without calling setter methods.
For example, instead of calling $myObject->setMyAttr($newValue)
, you can just do $myObject->myAttr = $newValue
. Under the hood, Setter sets your attribute by calling a private setMyAttr()
method that you define in your class.
This way, you get the benefit of syntactic sugar, while maintaining encapsulation.
Installation
Install via composer:
composer require grottopress/setter
Usage
Import trait into your class, and use thus:
<?php declare (strict_types = 1); namespace Vendor; use GrottoPress\Setter\SetterTrait; class MyClass { /** * Import trait */ use SetterTrait; private $changeMe; private $leaveMeAlone; /** * Define your private setter method * Method name should be of the format "set{$attrName}" */ private function setChangeMe($newValue) { $this->changeMe = $newValue; } // ... } // Instantiate $object = new Vendor\MyClass(); // Try to set attributes $object->changeMe = 'New Me!'; // => Works! $object->leaveMeAlone = 'xyz'; // => Error: 'setLeaveMeAlone()' not defined
Development
Run tests with composer run test
.
