Reflector

  • Full name: \Qubus\Injector\Reflector

Methods

getClass

Retrieves ReflectionClass instances, caching them for future retrieval.

public getClass(string|object $class): \ReflectionClass

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$class string|object Class name to retrieve the ReflectionClass from.

Return Value:

ReflectionClass object for the specified class.

getConstructor

Retrieves and caches the constructor (ReflectionMethod) for the specified class.

public getConstructor(string|object $class): \ReflectionMethod|null

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$class string|object Class name to retrieve the constructor from.

Return Value:

ReflectionMethod for the constructor of the specified class.

getConstructorParams

Retrieves and caches an array of constructor parameters for the given class

public getConstructorParams(string|object $class): \ReflectionParameter[]|null

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$class string|object Class name to retrieve the constructor arguments from.

Return Value:

Array of ReflectionParameter objects for the given class' constructor.

getParamTypeHint

Retrieves the class type-hint from a given ReflectionParameter.

public getParamTypeHint(\ReflectionFunctionAbstract $function, \ReflectionParameter $param): string|null

There is no way to directly access a parameter's type-hint without instantiating a new ReflectionClass instance and calling its getName() method. This method stores the results of this approach so that if the same parameter type-hint or ReflectionClass is needed again we already have it cached.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$function \ReflectionFunctionAbstract Reflection object for the function.
$param \ReflectionParameter Reflection object for the parameter.

Return Value:

Type-hint of the class. Null if none available.

getFunction

Retrieves and caches a reflection for the specified function

public getFunction(string|\Closure $functionName): \ReflectionFunction

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$functionName string|\Closure Name of the function to get a reflection for.

Return Value:

ReflectionFunction object for the specified function.

getMethod

Retrieves and caches a reflection for the specified class method

public getMethod(string|object $classNameOrInstance, string $methodName): \ReflectionMethod

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$classNameOrInstance string|object Class name or instance the method is referring to.
$methodName string Name of the method to get the reflection for.

Return Value:

ReflectionMethod object for the specified method.
