[](#attributes-trait-for-php-)

A minimal trait to decrease getter/setter boilerplate.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Omit **setter/getter** methods until needed.
- JSON or Array representation of object attributes.
- Get values via `$object->firstName` or `$object->get('firstName')`
- Set values via `$object->firstName = 'My Name';` or `$object->set('firstName', 'My Name')`
- `isset`, `empty`, and `unset` work as expected.
- Define *acceptable* input values like `'seconds' => ['accepts' => '0..59']`
- Define *default* values like `'score' => ['default' => 0]`

Anti-Features
-------------

[](#anti-features)

- Leaning on [complex IDEs](http://goo.gl/tUh9j) to produce setter/getter cruft is not a good solution to the underlying problem.
- Leaning on an [ORM](http://www.doctrine-project.org/blog/a-doctrine-orm-odm-base-class.html#last-words) is not a good solution since not every object in your domain needs to be persisted.
- Leaning on [reflection-based meta-programming](http://php.net/reflectionclass.getdefaultproperties).

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

```
class Game {
  use Attributes;

  protected $__attributes = [
    'gameName'  => [],
    'userName'  => [],
    'score'     => ['accepts' => '0..100']
  ];
}

$game = new Game;
$game->set([
  'gameName' => 'pacman',
  'userName' => 'manny.pacquiao',
  'score'    => 95
]);

assert(95 === $game->score);
