ScaleUpStack/Metadata
=====================

[](#scaleupstackmetadata)

This library provides a flexible metadata structure for PHP classes (including methods, properties, and annotations). The metadata is extracted from the PHP source code of the class.

You will be able to register feature analyzers (shipped with this library, or your own) that extend the metadata based on reflection, or the provided DocBlock annotations.

Currently these additional feature analyzers are provided:

- TypedProperties (including union types)
- VirtualMethods

This library is based on [schmittjoh/metadata](https://github.com/schmittjoh/metadata). It reads DocBlock annotations using [scaleupstack/annotations](https://github.com/scaleupstack/annotations).

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

[](#installation)

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

```
$ composer require scaleupstack/metadata

```

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

[](#introduction)

This library is not yet documented. But perhaps [scaleupstack/easy-object](https://github.com/scaleupstack/easy-object) 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 \[scaeupstack/easy-object\].

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