Access private methods / properties

This package allows you to access methods / properties in a class with a restricted access modifier i.e. private / protected.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dive-be/php-crowbar

Usage

Assume the following class with a private property. It offers no way to read / write its $content property.

class SealedCrate
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $content,
    ) {}
    
    private function peek(): string
    {
        return $this->content;
    }
}

$crate = new SealedCrate('Apples');

You can get the property using the Crowbar:

Crowbar::pry($crate)->content; // Apples

You can set the property:

Crowbar::pry($crate)->content; // Original: Apples

Crowbar::pry($crate)->content = 'Strawberries';

Crowbar::pry($crate)->content; // Altered: Strawberries

You can also invoke private methods:

Crowbar::pry($crate)->peek(); // Strawberries
