This library aims at providing simple tools that help deciding whether a class should or shouldn't be declared as `final`.

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

[](#installation)

Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
php composer.phar require ocramius/finalizer:~1.0
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your console, simply type:

```
./vendor/bin/finalizer finalizer:check-final-classes path/to/directory
./vendor/bin/finalizer finalizer:check-final-classes also/supports multiple/directories as/parameters
```

Note that finalizer will take decisions on whether classes should or shouldn't be `final` depending on the classes defined in the directories that you passed to it.

Additionally, be aware that `finalizer` will (in its current state) require any of the PHP or Hack files in the given directories and include them via `require_once`.

Reference
---------

[](#reference)

If you need to know more about why I wrote this library, and what kind of decisions it is doing, then please read [this blogpost about the usage of the `final` keyword](http://goo.gl/4eCCIK).
