----------------

[](#function-summary)

DeepClone is a package providing deep cloning (copying) of object instances in PHP.

Contrary to PHP's own clone functionality it does **not** rely on the class implementing it's cloning in the magic function`__clone()`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install this library, run the command below and you will get the latest version

```
composer require amylian/deepclone --dev
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

DeepClone can be configured to handle special cases (e.g. instances of classes to be excluded from cloning in the instance tree), but in most cases this is not necessary. The straight forward use of DeepClone is:

```
$clonedObject = \Amylian\DeepClone\DeepClone::copy($originalObject);
```
