This library allows you to create prototypes almost like in JavaScript.

\##Tests Sorry, I know that it is wrong, but I left the tests to do after the library. Why? Because I am having problems to write them.

\##1. Creating an object Objects are created with functions. These functions will return an object. All objects are registred on a class called `\Gabrieljmj\Prototype\Prototype`.

```
require_once 'autoload.php';

use Gabrieljmj\Prototype\Prototype;

function Person() {
    return Prototype::getInstance()->prot('Person');
}
```

To set methods, you need set as global the variable `$self` and use like you use `$this` on OOP:

```
Person()->on = 1;

Person()->setName = function ($name) {
    global $self;
    $self->name = $name;
};

Person()->getName = function() {
    global $self;
    return $self->name;
};
```

So you can instance this and execute the methods and get the propeties:

```
$user1 = new Person();
$user1->setName('Hansel');

$user2 = new Person();
$user2->setName('Gretel');

echo $user1->getName() . ' and ' . $user2->getName(); //Hansel and Gretel
```

\##2. Extending The extending is almost the same of JavaScript. Just set the property `$prototype`:

```
function Employee() {
    return Prototype::getInstance()->prot('Employee');
}

Employee()->prototype = new Person();

Employee()->setJobTitle = function ($jobtitle) {
    global $self;
    $self->jobTitle = $jobtitle;
};

Employee()->getJobTitle = function () {
    global $self;
    return $self->jobTitle;
};

$employee = new Employee();
$employee->setName('Jhon');
$employee->setJobTitle('Developer');

echo 'Hi! My name is ' . $employee->getName() . ' and I work as ' . $employee->getJobTitle() . '.';
//Hi! My name is Jhon and I work as Developer.
```

\###2.1. Instanceof

```
var_dump($person instanceof Employee); //bool(false)
var_dump($employee instanceof Person); //bool(true)
```

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.
