Memio's SpecGen
===============

[](#memios-specgen)

This extension for [phpspec](http://phpspec.net/) provides a powerful code generator:

- method generation:
    - it inserts method at the end of the class
    - it typehints arguments (uses interface when possible)
    - it names object arguments after their type (strips `Interface` suffix from names)
    - it names scalar arguments after a generic name (`argument`)
    - it adds number on names that could collide (e.g. `$argument1, $argument2`)
- constructor generation, same as method except:
    - it inserts constructor at the begining of the class
    - it inserts properties with initialization for each constructor arguments

> **Note**: Currently it is not possible to provide custom templates to SpecGen (it is not compatible with phpspec templates).
