Magic getters and setters for your classes

Magic methods

Getters and setters for any class, with onSet listeners, _(*1)

Installation

Magic can be installed using composer. Run this command:, _(*2)

composer require hrn4n/magic

Usage

To use it simply create a class that extends the Access\Magic class:, _(*3)

<?php 
class Person extends Access\Magic
{
  protected $name;
}

And that's it, you can start using getters and setters:, _(*4)

<?php
$me = new Person;

$me->setName("Hernan");

$me->get("name"); # returns "Hernan"
$me->getName(); # also returns "Hernan"

hasPropertyName()

When you call $me->hasProperty() it will return true if: the property exists and it's not empty, otherwise it will return false, _(*5)

isProperty()

$me->isProperty() Is a shorthand for: $me->getIsProperty() OR $me->getProperty() It will check first is 'isProperty' exists, if it doesn't then it checks if 'Property' exists, _(*6)

onSet listeners

Say we add a onNameSet to our Person class:, _(*7)

<?php 
class Person extends Access\Magic
{
  protected $name;

  public function onNameSet($name) {
    # convert name to uppercase before setting 
    return strtoupper($name);
  }
}

Then we run the following code:, _(*8)

<?php 
$me = new Person;
$me->set("name", "hernan"); # alternative way of setting properties

$me->getName(); # returns "HERNAN"
