The ReflectionDocBlock Component [](https://travis-ci.org/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The ReflectionDocBlock component of phpDocumentor provides a DocBlock parser
|
|
that is 100% compatible with the [PHPDoc standard](http://phpdoc.org/docs/latest).
|
|
|
|
With this component, a library can provide support for annotations via DocBlocks
|
|
or otherwise retrieve information that is embedded in a DocBlock.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: *this is a core component of phpDocumentor and is constantly being
|
|
> optimized for performance.*
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can install the component in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
* Use the official Github repository (https://github.com/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock)
|
|
* Via Composer (http://packagist.org/packages/phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock)
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The ReflectionDocBlock component is designed to work in an identical fashion to
|
|
PHP's own Reflection extension (http://php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php).
|
|
|
|
Parsing can be initiated by instantiating the
|
|
`\phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock()` class and passing it a string containing
|
|
a DocBlock (including asterisks) or by passing an object supporting the
|
|
`getDocComment()` method.
|
|
|
|
> *Examples of objects having the `getDocComment()` method are the
|
|
> `ReflectionClass` and the `ReflectionMethod` classes of the PHP
|
|
> Reflection extension*
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
$class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass');
|
|
$phpdoc = new \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock($class);
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$docblock = <<<DOCBLOCK
|
|
/**
|
|
* This is a short description.
|
|
*
|
|
* This is a *long* description.
|
|
*
|
|
* @return void
|
|
*/
|
|
DOCBLOCK;
|
|
|
|
$phpdoc = new \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock($docblock);
