Bug description:synthesize class property setter/getter feature request
Description:
------------
This is a take from the objective-c language, and may prove useful in
future
releases of PHP.
Currently, to generate generic setters/getters for class properties, this
must
be done manually in the class declaration:
class Foo {
public $bar
function bar() {
return $this->bar;
}
function setBar($val) {
$this->bar = $val;
}
}
This can be a tedious task when there are many properties, and clutter up
the
class. Using the __call() magic function for manual pseudo-synthesized
functions
is a complexity and extra wrapper call that could be avoided.
Feature request: the ability to have PHP automatically synthesize generic
setters/getters for properties. You would specify which properties are
synthesized. Syntax idea:
class Foo {
synthesize public $bar;
// bar() and setBar() are now automatically synthesized by PHP
}
Manual overrides to these synthesized methods are permissible, in case a
non-
generic method is required. This feature would greatly simplify
boiler-plate
setter/getter setup, and avoid the overhead of using __call() as a wrapper
to
create a manual psuedo-synthesize functionality. PHP IDE's would be able to
identify synthesized properties for auto-completion of available
setter/getter
methods.
