Docblock

PHP Docblock parser and generator. An API to read and write Docblocks.

WARNING: starting from version 4.0 the library has moved to phpowermove organization and the namespace is phpowermove\docblock.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require phpowermove/docblock

a) Simple:

use phpowermove\docblock\Docblock;

$docblock = new Docblock();

b) Create from string:

use phpowermove\docblock\Docblock;

$docblock = new Docblock('/**
 * Short Description.
 *
 * Long Description.
 *
 * @author gossi
 */');

c) Create from reflection:

use phpowermove\docblock\Docblock;

$docblock = new Docblock(new \ReflectionClass('MyClass'));

Get the tags:

$tags = $docblock->getTags();

Get tags by name:

$tags = $docblock->getTags('author');

Append a tag:

use phpowermove\docblock\tags\AuthorTag;

$author = new AuthorTag();
$author->setName('gossi');
$docblock->appendTag($author);

or with fluent API:

use phpowermove\docblock\tags\AuthorTag;

$docblock->appendTag(AuthorTag::create()
	->setName('gossi')
);

Check tag existence:

$docblock->hasTag('author');

Call toString():

$docblock->toString();

or if you are in a write-context, the magical __toString() will take care of it:

echo $docblock;

Feel free to fork and submit a pull request (don't forget the tests) and I am happy to merge.
