getPath()

Returns the file location for this element relative to the project root.

public getPath() : string
Return values
string —

getSummary()

public getSummary() : string
Return values

getType()

Returns a normalized Types.

public getType() : Type|null
Tags
see
self::setTypes()

for details on what types represent.

Return values
Type|null —

isByReference()

Returns whether the parameter is passed by reference or by value.

public isByReference() : bool
Return values
bool —

True if the parameter is passed by reference, otherwise it is by value.

setByReference()

Sets whether this argument passes its parameter by reference or by value.

public setByReference(bool $byReference) : void
Parameters
$byReference : bool

True if the parameter is passed by reference, otherwise it is by value.

Return values
void —

setDefault()

Sets the default value for an argument expressed as a string.

public setDefault(string $value) : void
Parameters
$value : string

A textual representation of the default value.

Return values
void —

setFullyQualifiedStructuralElementName()

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

public setFullyQualifiedStructuralElementName(Fqsen $name) : void
Parameters
$name : Fqsen
Return values
void —

setName()

Sets the local name for this element.

public setName(string $name) : void
Parameters
$name : string
Return values
void —

setSummary()

Sets a summary describing this element.

public setSummary(string $summary) : void
Parameters
$summary : string
Return values
void —

setType()

Sets a normalized list of types that the argument represents.

public setType(Type|null $type) : void

Arguments should have one of the types mentioned in this array. If this array is empty than that is considered to be the type mixed (meaning: can be anything).

Any Type representing a class/interface/trait should be normalized to its complete FQCN, including preceding backslash. Types that do not represent a class/interface/trait should be written in lowercaps and should not be preceded by a backslash.

Parameters
$type : Type|null

Type of this agument represented as a reflection type.
