php-class-components-extractor
==============================

[](#php-class-components-extractor)

This little tool helps you visualize the cohesion of a class by showing the relationship between its methods and properties. It helps you to follow the SRP (Single Responsiblity Principle) by showing you how a class could be split up.

```
class Example
{
    private $a;
    private $b;
    private $c;

    public function a(): void
    {
        $this->a;
    }

    public function ab(): void
    {
        $this->a;
        $this->b;
    }

    public function c(): void
    {}
}
```
