Description

GetClassTypes returns a list of all strict PHP types for a given class or interface. The list is ordered with the most specific match first.

Public Interface

GetClassTypes has the following public interface:

namespace GanbaroDigital\MissingBits\TypeInspectors;

/**
 * get a full list of a class's inheritence hierarchy
 */
class GetClassTypes
{
    /**
     * get a full list of a class's inheritence hierarchy
     *
     * @param  mixed $item
     *         the item to examine
     * @return string[]
     *         the class's inheritence hierarchy
     */
    public function getClassTypes($item);

    /**
     * get a full list of a class's inheritence hierarchy
     *
     * @param  mixed $item
     *         the item to examine
     * @return string[]

GanbaroDigitalTest\MissingBits\TypeInspectors\GetClassTypes
 [x] Can instantiate
 [x] Can use as object
 [x] Can call statically
 [x] Can call as function
 [x] Detects classnames

Class contracts are built from this class's unit tests.

Future releases of this class will not break this contract.

Future releases of this class may add to this contract. New additions may include:

  • clarifying existing behaviour (e.g. stricter contract around input or return types)
  • add new behaviours (e.g. extra trait methods)

When you use this class, you can only rely on the behaviours documented by this contract.

If you:

  • find other ways to use this class,

  • or depend on undocumented internal states of this class,

... your code may not work in the future.
