HasClassProperties::check()

Not yet in a tagged release

Description

HasClassProperties::check() - does a class have static properties?

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

// our method signature
bool HasClassProperties::check(string $target, $propTypes = ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC);

Parameters

HasClassProperties::check() takes two parameters:

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

Return Values

HasClassProperties::check() returns a boolean:

true if $target is a class with 1 or more static properties that match $propTypes
false otherwise

Throws

HasClassProperties::check() 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

HasClassProperties::check() will also check parent classes and all the traits used by this class for static properties.
HasClassProperties::check() only works on classes. Use HasObjectProperties::check() to check an object for non-static properties.
