The **icanboogie/prototype** package allows methods of classes using the [PrototypeTrait](https://icanboogie.org/api/prototype/4.0/class-ICanBoogie.PrototypeTrait.html) to be defined at runtime, and since the [icanboogie/accessor](https://github.com/ICanBoogie/Accessor) package is used, this also includes getters and setters.

#### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require icanboogie/prototype
```

Defining methods at runtime
---------------------------

[](#defining-methods-at-runtime)

Methods can be defined at runtime using the *prototype* of a class. They are immediately available to every instance of the class and are inherited by the sub-classes of that class.
