A trait to dynamically add methods to a class
This package provides a trait that, when applied to a class, makes it possible to add methods to that class at runtime.
Here's a quick example:
$myClass = new class() {
use Spatie\Macroable\Macroable;
};
$myClass::macro('concatenate', function(... $strings) {
return implode('-', $strings);
});
$myClass->concatenate('one', 'two', 'three'); // returns 'one-two-three'
The idea of a macroable trait and the implementation is taken from the macroable
trait of the Laravel framework.
Support us
We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/macroable
Usage
You can add a new method to a class using macro
:
$macroableClass = new class() {
use Spatie\Macroable\Macroable;
};
$macroableClass::macro('concatenate', function(... $strings) {
return implode('-', $strings);
};
$macroableClass->concatenate('one', 'two', 'three'); // returns 'one-two-three'
Callables passed to the macro
function will be bound to the class
$macroableClass = new class() {
protected $name = 'myName';
use Spatie\Macroable\Macroable;
};
$macroableClass::macro('getName', function() {
return $this->name;
};
$macroableClass->getName(); // returns 'myName'
You can also add multiple methods in one go by using a mixin class. A mixin class contains methods that return callables. Each method from the mixin will be registered on the macroable class.
$mixin = new class() {
public function mixinMethod()
{
return function() {
return 'mixinMethod';
};
}
public function anotherMixinMethod()
{
return function() {
return 'anotherMixinMethod';
};
}
};
$macroableClass->mixin($mixin);
$macroableClass->mixinMethod() // returns 'mixinMethod';
$macroableClass->anotherMixinMethod() // returns 'anotherMixinMethod';
