Z-Engine Unfinal
================

[](#z-engine-unfinal)

**This is a partial fork of the [z-engine](https://github.com/lisachenko/z-engine) library, compatibile with PHP 8.4.**

This package allows you to:

- Extend final classes
- Create instances of abstract classes
- Add traits to existing classes dynamically

Intended Use Cases
------------------

[](#intended-use-cases)

- **Unit Testing:**
    - Mock or extend classes declared as `final` or `abstract` in your tests.
    - Enable mocking frameworks to work with classes that would otherwise be unmockable.
- **Dynamic Trait Injection:**
    - Augment class functionality for testing
    - Implement behaviors such as "friendly" classes that access each other's protected methods.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev grikdotnet/z-unfinal
```

Examples:
---------

[](#examples)

### Extend a final class

[](#extend-a-final-class)

```
use ZEngine\Core;
use ZEngine\Reflection\ReflectionClass;

Core::init();

// Get reflection for a final class
$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(FinalClass::class);

// Remove the final flag
$reflectionClass->setFinal(false);

// Now you can extend the class in your tests
class ExtendedClass extends FinalClass {
    // Test-specific functionality
}
```

### Create an instance of an abstract class

[](#create-an-instance-of-an-abstract-class)

```
use ZEngine\Core;
use ZEngine\Reflection\ReflectionClass;

Core::init();

$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(AbstractClass::class);
$reflectionClass->setAbstract(false);

// Now you can create an instance of the abstract class
$instance = new AbstractClass();
```

### Dynamically Add Traits to a Class

[](#dynamically-add-traits-to-a-class)

```
use ZEngine\Core;
use ZEngine\Reflection\ReflectionClass;

Core::init();

$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(TargetClass::class);
$reflectionClass->addTraits(SomeTrait::class);

// Now TargetClass has all methods from SomeTrait
(new TestClass())->traitMethod()
```
