php-reflection
==============

[](#php-reflection)

Library that adds additional Reflection-style classes, with additional functionality for PHP 7.0

ReflectionComment Classes
-------------------------

[](#reflectioncomment-classes)

Parses the contents of a comment retrieved from a function, property or class. Each source type has a specific class which can be used to parse and retrieve individual tags from the PHPdoc comment.

Tags are returned as a `ReflectionTag`. In cases where tags may repeat such as `@property`, `@method` or `@param`, a `TagBag` is returned.

Type Classes
------------

[](#type-classes)

Similar to ReflectionType, this class provides information on a type, such as a property type, parameter type, or method return type. Unlike ReflectionType, the data for a Type can be pulled from the DocComment of the related reflection object.

ReflectionTag Classes
---------------------

[](#reflectiontag-classes)

These classes are used internally to represent a tag from a `ReflectionComment`.

Other Classes
-------------

[](#other-classes)

### ReflectionClassImports

[](#reflectionclassimports)

This class parases the `use` statements above the class declaration in a class, in order to resolve types referred to by short names in PHPdoc comments.

### ReflectionConstructor

[](#reflectionconstructor)

This class provides insight into a class constructor, allowing for instantiation via an array of named arguments.

### ReflectionName

[](#reflectionname)

This class provides manipulation of class, method, and property names, allowing for easy generation of method names from property names, and vice versa.

### ReflectionAccess

[](#reflectionaccess)

This class provides basic information about wether a property is accessible within a class, whether directly or through a getter and/or setter.
