Вступ

Componere (latin, English: compose) targets production environments and provides an API for composition of classes, monkey patching, and casting.

Composition:

Componere\Definition is used to define (or redefine) a class at runtime; The class can then be registered, and in the case of redefinition it replaces the original class for as long as the Componere\Definition exists.

public Componere\Definition::__construct(string $name)
public Componere\Definition::__construct(string $name, string $parent)
public Componere\Definition::__construct(string $name, array $interfaces)
public Componere\Definition::__construct(string $name, string $parent, array $interfaces)

Patching:

Componere\Patch is used to change the class of a specific instance of an object at runtime; Upon application the patch will remain applied for as long as the Componere\Patch exists, and can be reverted explicitly.

public Componere\Patch::__construct(object $instance)
public Componere\Patch::__construct(object $instance, array $interfaces)

Casting:

Componere\ casting functions can cast among user defined compatible types; Where compatible means Type is sub or super to the type of object.

Componere\cast(string $type, object $object): object
Componere\cast_by_ref(string $type, object $object): object
