NSA; See and do whatever you want. Great for writing tests

This small class helps you to test your private and protected properties and methods. One could argue that you never should test private methods but sometimes it just makes the test code a lot cleaner and easier to write and understand. This library is all about DX.

Usage

$object = new Dog();

NSA::setProperty($object, 'name', 'Foobar');
$name = NSA::getProperty($object, 'name');
$result = NSA::invokeMethod($object, 'doAction', 'jump', '1 meter');

echo $name; // "Foobar"
echo $result; // "Dog just did 'jump' for 1 meter"

// Access static properties and methods
$age = NSA::getProperty('\Dog', 'age');
echo $age; // 12

class Dog
{
    private $name = 'unnamed';
    private static $age = 12;

    private function doAction($action, $parameter)
    {
        return sprintf("Dog just did '%s' for %s", $action, $parameter);
    }
}
