Class Object

Together with the ICanBoogie\Prototype class the ICanBoogie\Object class provides means to define getters and setters, as well as define getters, setters, and method at runtime.

The class also provides a method to create instances in the same fashion PDO creates instances with the FETCH_CLASS mode, that is the properties of the instance are set before its constructor is invoked.

ICanBoogie\Object implements ICanBoogie\ToArrayRecursive uses ICanBoogie\ToArrayRecursiveTrait (not available) ICanBoogie\PrototypeTrait

Methods summary


				
				 public static
				
				

				from( array $properties = null, array $construct_args = [], string|null $class_name = null )
				

				: mixed

Creates a new instance of the class using the supplied properties.

The instance is created in the same fashion PDO creates instances when fetching objects using the FETCH_CLASS mode, that is the properties of the instance are set before its constructor is invoked.

Note: Because the method uses the unserialize function to create the instance, the __wakeup() magic method will be called if it is defined by the class, and it will be called before the constructor.

Note: The __wakeup() method of the ICanBoogie\Object class removes null properties for which a getter is defined.

Parameters

$properties: Properties to be set before the constructor is invoked.
$construct_args: Arguments passed to the constructor.
$class_name: The name of the instance class. If empty the name of the called class is used.

Returns

mixed
The new instance.
