Properties

$endLocation

protected Location|null $endLocation = null

$fileDescriptor

protected FileInterface|null $fileDescriptor = null

The file to which this element belongs; if applicable

$fqsen

protected Fqsen|null $fqsen = null

Fully Qualified Structural Element Name; the FQCN including method, property or constant name

$inheritedElement

protected ElementInterface|string|Fqsen|null $inheritedElement = null

the element from which to inherit information in this element

$line

protected int $line = 0

The line number on which this element occurs.

$startLocation

protected Location|null $startLocation = null

$summary

protected string $summary = ''

A summary describing the function of this element in short.

$metadata

private array<string|int, Metadata> $metadata = []

Methods

__call()

Dynamically constructs a set of getters to retrieve tag (collections) with.

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $arguments) : Collection<string|int, TagDescriptor>|null

Important: __call() is not a fast method of access; it is preferred to directly use the getTags() collection. This interface is provided to allow for uniform and easy access to certain tags.

Parameters
$name : string
$arguments : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
Collection<string|int, TagDescriptor>|null

__toString()

Represents this object by its unique identifier, the Fully Qualified Structural Element Name.

public __toString() : string
Return values
string

getEndLocation()

Returns the end location where the definition for this element can be found.

public getEndLocation() : Location|null
Return values
Location|null

getFile()

Returns the file in which this element resides or null in case the element is not bound to a file.

public getFile() : FileInterface|null

.

Return values
FileInterface|null

getFullyQualifiedStructuralElementName()

Returns the Fully Qualified Structural Element Name (FQSEN) for this element.

public getFullyQualifiedStructuralElementName() : Fqsen|null
Return values
Fqsen|null

getInheritedElement()

Returns the element from which this element inherits, or null if it doesn't inherit any information.

public getInheritedElement() : ElementInterface|string|Fqsen|null

This method is usually overridden in consuming classes with the determination how that class should resolve inheritance. This is a placeholder function for those classes who need a simple way to provide inheritance.

Return values
ElementInterface|string|Fqsen|null

getLine()

Returns the line number where the definition for this element can be found.

public getLine() : int
Tags
deprecated

use getStartLocation()->getLineNumber() instead

Return values
int

getMetadata()

public getMetadata() : array<string|int, Metadata>
Return values
array<string|int, Metadata>

getName()

Returns the name for this element.

public getName() : string
Return values
string

getPath()

Returns the path to the file containing this element relative to the project's root.

public getPath() : string
Return values
string

getStartLocation()

Returns the start location where the definition for this element can be found.

public getStartLocation() : Location|null
Return values
Location|null

getSummary()

Returns the summary which describes this element.

public getSummary() : string

This method will automatically attempt to inherit the parent's summary if this one has none.

Return values
string

isDeprecated()

Checks whether this element is deprecated.

public isDeprecated() : bool
Return values
bool

setMetadata()

public setMetadata(array<string|int, Metadata$metadata) : void
Parameters
$metadata : array<string|int, Metadata>
