Declaring Attribute Classes

While not strictly required it is recommended to create an actual class for every attribute. In the most simple case only an empty class is needed with the #[Attribute] attribute declared that can be imported from the global namespace with a use statement.

Приклад #1 Simple Attribute Class

<?php

namespace Example;

use
Attribute;

#[
Attribute]
class
MyAttribute
{
}

To restrict the type of declaration an attribute can be assigned to, a bitmask can be passed as the first argument to the #[Attribute] declaration.

Приклад #2 Using target specification to restrict where attributes can be used

<?php

namespace Example;

use
Attribute;

#[
Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_METHOD | Attribute::TARGET_FUNCTION)]
class
MyAttribute
{
}

Declaring MyAttribute on another type will now throw an exception during the call to ReflectionAttribute::newInstance()

The following targets can be specified:

By default an attribute can only be used once per declaration. If the attribute should be repeatable on declarations it must be specified as part of the bitmask to the #[Attribute] declaration.

Приклад #3 Using IS_REPEATABLE to allow attribute on a declaration multiple times

<?php

namespace Example;

use
Attribute;

#[
Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_METHOD | Attribute::TARGET_FUNCTION | Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE)]
class
MyAttribute
{
}

#! Require PHP >= 8.0

#! This is a Sample

<?php

declare(strict_types = 1);

#[
Attribute]
class
Foo
{
function
__construct(){
echo
"Running " . __METHOD__ . PHP_EOL;
}
}

#[
Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_CLASS|Attribute::IS_REPEATABLE)]
class
Bar {
function
__construct(?string ...$args){
echo
"Running " . __METHOD__ ,
" args: " . implode(", ", $args) . PHP_EOL;
}
}

#[
Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_ALL)]
class
Baz {
function
__construct(
private
string $parameter
){
echo
"Running " . __METHOD__ ,
" arg: " . $this->parameter . PHP_EOL;
}
}

#[
Foo] // [0]
#[Bar] // [1]
#[Bar("Banana")] // [2]
#[Bar("Banana", "Apple", "Lemon", "Grape")] // [3]
#[Baz("The Only One")] // [4]
class Qux
{
}

// Getting class attribute with ReflectionClass
$ref = new ReflectionClass(Qux::class);
$attrs = $ref->getAttributes(); // Array of attributes

$attrs[0]->newInstance(); // "Running Foo::__construct"
$attrs[1]->newInstance(); // "Running Bar::__construct args: "
$attrs[2]->newInstance(); // "Running Bar::__construct args: Banana"
$attrs[3]->newInstance(); // "Running Bar::__construct args: Banana, Apple, Lemon, Grape"
$attrs[4]->newInstance(); // "Running Baz::__construct arg: The Only One"
