Description
-----------

[](#description)

*Setter* allows you to set **private** object attributes directly, without calling setter methods.

For example, instead of calling `$myObject->setMyAttr($newValue)`, you can just do `$myObject->myAttr = $newValue`. Under the hood, *Setter* sets your attribute by calling a private `setMyAttr()` method that you define in your class.
