After that: - run `composer install` to install the required dependencies and generate `/vendor/autoload.php`. - if you use a custom autoloader, point the namespace `chillerlan\Traits` to the folder `src` of the package Profit! ### Usage [](#usage) #### `ClassLoader` [](#classloader) Simple usage: ``` class MyClass{ use ClassLoader; protected function doStuff(string $class){ $obj = $this->loadClass(__NAMESPACE__.'\\Whatever\\'.$class); // do stuff } } ``` Let's assume we have several classes that implement the same interface, but their constructors have different parameter counts, like so: ``` class SomeClass implements MyInterface{ public funtion __construct($param_foo){} } class OtherClass implements MyInterface{ public funtion __construct($param_foo, $param_bar){} } ``` Initialize an object based on a selction ``` class MyClass{ use ClassLoader; protected $classes = [ 'foo' => SomeClass::class, 'bar' => OtherClass::class ]; protected funtion initInterface(string $whatever, $foo, $bar = null):MyInterface{ foreach($this->classes as $what => $class){ if($whatever === $what){ return $this->loadClass($class, MyInterface::class, $foo, $bar); } } } } ``` #### `Magic` [](#magic) `Magic` allows to access internal methods like as properties. ``` class MyMagicContainer{ use Magic; protected $foo; protected function magic_get_foo(){ // do whatever... return 'foo: '.$this->foo; } protected function magic_set_foo($value){ // do stuff with $value // ... $this->foo = $value.'bar'; } } ``` ``` $magic = new MyMagicContainer; $magic->foo = 'foo'; var_dump($magic->foo); // -> foo: foobar ``` #### `Enumerable` [](#enumerable) ``` class MyEnumerableContainer implements EnumerableInterface{ use Enumerable; public function __construct(array $data){ $this->array = $data; } } ``` ``` $enum = new MyEnumerableContainer($data); $enum ->__each(function($value, $index){ // do stuff $this->array[$index] = $stuff; }) ->__reverse() ->__to_array() ; $arr = $enum->__map(function($value, $index){ // do stuff return $stuff; }); $enum; ``` ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~24 days Recently: every ~68 days Total 21 Last Release 2638d ago Major Versions 1.1.13 → 2.0.02018-08-08 2.0.0 → 3.0.02018-09-10 PHP version history (3 changes)1.0.0PHP >=7.0.3 2.0.0PHP >=7.2.0 3.0.1PHP ^7.2 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/592497?v=4)[smiley](/maintainers/codemasher)[@codemasher](https://github.com/codemasher) --- Top Contributors [![codemasher](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/592497?v=4)](https://github.com/codemasher "codemasher (92 commits)") --- Tags arraydotenvhelpermagicphp-spl-iteratorsphp7traitcontainerhelpertraitdotenvPHP7 ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/chillerlan-php-traits/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/chillerlan-php-traits/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/chillerlan-php-traits) ``` ### Alternatives [chillerlan/php-settings-container A container class for immutable settings objects.
