Reflection utilities
====================

[](#reflection-utilities)

A set of utility function for use with [PHP Reflection](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php).

Available functions
-------------------

[](#available-functions)

The following functions are supplied

All functions live in the `BitwiseOperators\Reflection` namespace.

### Checking if a class is an Attribute implementation

[](#checking-if-a-class-is-an-attribute-implementation)

#### `is_attribute_class(): bool`

[](#is_attribute_class-bool)

Arguments:

- class: `object` | `string`

### Checking if an attribute is set on a PHP entity

[](#checking-if-an-attribute-is-set-on-a-php-entity)

The following functions check if an attribute is set on the supplied class, function, method or property.

For all functions, the attribute can be supplied as a class-string or as a `ReflectionAttribute` object for the desired attribute.

Attributes are checked in instance-mode, so descendant implementations of the supplied attribute also return `true`

If no attribute class is specified, the functions return true when the subject has any attributes.

#### `class_has_attribute(): bool`

[](#class_has_attribute-bool)

Arguments:

- class: `object` | `string`,
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`

Checks the supplied class for attributes `$attribute`.

The class can be supplied as an `object`, a `string`, or as a `ReflectionClass` containing the subject.

#### `function_has_attribute(): bool`

[](#function_has_attribute-bool)

Arguments:

- function: `ReflectionFunctionAbstract` | `string`,
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`

Checks the supplied function for attributes.

The function can be supplied as a `string` or as a `ReflectionFunctionAbstract` containing the subject.

Make sure the function is fully namespaced if applicable.

#### `method_has_attribute(): bool`

[](#method_has_attribute-bool)

This function has two possible signatures:

Arguments:

- class: `object` | `string`
- method: `ReflectionMethod` | `string`
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`

The method can be supplied as a combination of class and method-name, where the class arguments follow the same requirements as for the `class_has_attributes` function. The method can be either a `string` or a `ReflectionMethod` containing the method.

When using a `ReflectionMethod` object, the class argument can be omitted completely:

Arguments:

- method: `ReflectionMethod`
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`

#### `property_has_attribute(): bool`

[](#property_has_attribute-bool)

This function has two possible signatures:

Arguments:

- class: `object` | `string`
- property: `ReflectionProperty` | `string`
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`

The property can be supplied as a combination of class and property-name, where the class arguments follow the same requirements as for the `class_has_attributes` function. The property can be either a `string` or a `ReflectionProperty` containing the method.

When using a `ReflectionProperty` object, the class argument can be omitted completely:

Arguments:

- property: `ReflectionProperty`
- attribute: `null` | `string` | `ReflectionAttribute`
