Code Builder
============

[](#code-builder)

[![CI](https://github.com/phpactor/code-builder/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/phpactor/code-builder/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

This library can be used to *generate* or idempotently *add* **classes**, **methods**, **properties**, **use statements**, etc. to existing source code using *prototypes*.

A prototype is an object which defines structural code elements.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The library provides a source code prototype builder:

```
$builder = SourceBuilder::create()
    ->namespace('Animals');
    ->use('Measurements\\Height');
    ->class('Rabbits')
        ->extends('Leopridae')
        ->property('force')
            ->visibility('private')
            ->type('int')
            ->defaultValue(5)
        ->end()
        ->method('jump')
            ->parameters()
                ->parameter('how')
                    ->default('high')
                    ->type('Height')
                ->end();
            ->end()
        ->end()
    ->end();

$sourcePrototype = $builder->build();
```

the above prototype can either be used to generate a new class:

```
$renderer = new TwigRenderer();
$renderer->render($sourcePrototype);
```

Or it can be applied to an existing source code, given the following:

```
