Features
--------

[](#features)

- 🚀 **Attribute-based**: Use PHP attributes to mark classes for builder generation

- 📝 **IDE Friendly**: Full autocomplete and type checking support
- 🔧 **Highly Configurable**: Customize every aspect of generation
- 🎯 **Type Safe**: Preserves all type information from original classes
- 🏗️ **Constructor Aware**: Intelligently handles constructor parameters

### 2. Configure Composer

[](#2-configure-composer)

Add to your `composer.json`:

```
{
  "config": {
    "allow-plugins": {
      "maxbeckers/php-builder-generator": true
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Update Autoload for Generated Builders
