ClassFriendship

ArashDalir/ClassFriendship provides basic functionality needed to simulate class friendship like in c++.

Install

Use following command to add the repository to your project:

composer require arashdalir/php-classfriendship

Or add following line to your composer.json:

{
  "require": {
     "arashdalir/php-classfriendship": "dev-master"
  }
}

Usage

The classes need to use trait Friends in their implementation. A new Friendship can be defined like this:

<?php
namespace Test;

include "vendor/autoload.php";

use ArashDalir\ClassFriendship\Friends;
use ArashDalir\ClassFriendship\FriendshipTypes;

class A{
	use Friends;

	protected $parameter;

	function __construct() {
		static::addFriendship(B::class, FriendshipTypes::CAN_READ|FriendshipTypes::CAN_WRITE);
	}
}

class B{
	function testFriendship(){
		$a = new A();

		$a->parameter = "B can access this!";

		print_r($a);
	}
}

class C{
	function testFriendship()
	{
		$a = new A();

		$a->parameter = "C cannot access this! this will throw NotFriendsException";

		print_r($a);
	}
}

$b = new B();
$c = new C();

$b->testFriendship();
$c->testFriendship();

/*
prints:
Test\A Object ( [parameter:protected] => B can access this! )
