description: List of functions that works for PHP classes.

Classes helpers

class_namespace

Gets the namespace from class or object.

$class = App\Http\Controllers\MyController::class;

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\class_namespace($class);
// 'App\Http\Controllers'

class_implement

Similarly than PHP's class_implements but finding a specific interface implemented on the object or class given.

class MyClass implements MyInterface {}

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\class_implement(MyClass::class, MyInterface::class);
// true

class_use

Similarly than PHP's class_uses but finding a specific trait used on the object or class given.

class MyClass implements MyInterface {}

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\class_use(MyClass::class, MyTrait::class);
// false

call

{% hint style="info" %} This is specially useful to get types using PHP generics types. Otherwise PHP's array callable or call_user_func_array should be used instead. {% endhint %}

Call to the specified public method from class string or object with optional given arguments array.

class MyClass implements MyInterface
{
    public static function myStaticMethod(string $name)
    {
        return "greetings {$name}!";
    }

    public function myMethod(string $name)
    {
        return "hello {$name}!";
    }
}

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\call(MyClass::class, 'myStaticMethod', ['user'], true);
// 'greetings user!'

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\call(MyClass::class, 'myMethod', ['world']);
// 'hello world!'

call_static

Shortcut for `call` function used for call public static methods only.

class MyClass implements MyInterface
{
    public static function myStaticMethod(string $name)
    {
        return "greetings {$name}!";
    }
}

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\call_static(MyClass::class, 'myStaticMethod', ['user']);
// 'greetings user!'

class_from

Gets class string from object or class. Similarly to PHP's get_class but this one handles whenever string is sent.

$class = App\Http\Controllers\MyController::class;
$classInstance = new $class;

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\class_from($class);
// 'App\Http\Controllers\MyController'

\OpenSoutheners\ExtendedPhp\Classes\class_from($classInstance);
// 'App\Http\Controllers\MyController'
