ScaleUpStack/Annotations
========================

About
-----

[](#about)

This library allows to read annotations in the classical DocBlock style including an extended multi-line declaration.

The built-in set of supported annotations can be extended easily by project-specific extensions.

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

[](#installation)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) to install this library:

```
$ composer require scaleupstack/annotations

```

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This library is not yet documented. But perhaps [scaleupstack/metadata](https://github.com/scaleupstack/metadata) can be helpful to find out how to use it.

TODO: to be done

Current State
-------------

[](#current-state)

This library has been developed with a special intention in mind. It will evolve in the context of [scaleupstack/metadata](https://github.com/scaleupstack/metadata), and [scaleupstack/easy-object](https://github.com/scaleupstack/easy-object).

This results in some known limitations that are no high-priority for this intended purpose.

- E.g. not all allowed class names in `@var` are supported (e.g. UTF-8 special chars).
- Only a sub-set of phpDocumentor annotation tags are built-in.
- Some limitations are perhaps very strict.

If you are missing anything, feel free to contact me, or create a pull request.

Currently these built-in annotations are implemented:

- `@method`
- `@property-read`
- `@var`

All other annotations are represented as `UnknownAnnotation`.
