FilterClassProperties::from()

Not yet in a tagged release

Description

FilterClassProperties::from() - get a class's static properties

// remember to import first
use GanbaroDigital\MissingBits\ClassesAndObjects\FilterClassProperties;

// our method signature
array FilterClassProperties::from(string $target, $propTypes = ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC);

Parameters

FilterClassProperties::from() takes two parameters:

$target (string) - the class name to examine
$propTypes (int) - optional scope filter

Return Values

FilterClassProperties::from() returns an array of name / value pairs.

If the class has no static properties, FilterClassProperties::from() returns an empty array.

Throws

FilterClassProperties::from() throws an InvalidArgumentException if:

$target is not a string, or something that PHP will automatically convert to a string,
$target refers to a class that has not been defined

Notes

FilterClassProperties::from() will include all static properties defined by the class's parents, by any traits used by the class or its parents, and by any traits used by those traits.
FilterClassProperties::from() only works on classes. Use FilterObjectProperties::from() to get an object's non-static properties.
