With PHP Getters and Setters you can automatically generate Getters and Setters for your php classes.

The code produced is PSR compatible

• Generate Getters, Setters or Both
• Select all variables or just some via UI
• Control method scope via a DocBlock tag
• intelligent guessing of variable names, if you use descriptive variable names you do not need to provide a description, the method comment will set accordingly
• supports _ in property names

Example PHP Code

class test
{
    /**
     * foo container
     *
     * @var AbcClass
     */
    private $foo;
}

Example class after generating Getters and Setters

class test
{
    /**
     * foo container
     *
     * @var AbcClass
     */
    private $foo;

    /**
     * Gets the foo container.
     *
     * @return AbcClass
     */
    public function getFoo()
    {
        return $this->foo;
    }

    /**
     * Sets the foo container.
     *
     * @param AbcClass $foo the foo
     *
     * @return self
     */
    public function setFoo(AbcClass $foo)
    {
        $this->foo = $foo;

        return $this;
    }
}

As you can see if get to trouble of commenting your variables, the generated functions can be used without modification.

This is an huge time saver!

@internal: getter and setter will be private

@private: getter and setter will be private

@protected: getter and setter will be protected

@read-only private|protected: getter will be public, setter will be private or protected (defaults to private)

doNotTypeHint: an array of items that when present in @type or @var declarations are ignored and not used as type hint

camelCasedMethodNames: method names will follow PSR rules PSR states that all method names must be camel cased, if set to false method names won't be Camel Cased

getterTemplate: the template for the getter

setterTemplate: the template for the setter

A rudimentary template editor is available at Packages -> PHP Getters and Setters -> Template Editor
