Properties Visibility
Protected vs. Private properties
By default, only protected properties will be accessible (overloaded). This means that private declared properties are inaccessible.
use Aedart\Properties\Overload;
class Person
{
use Overload;
protected ?string $name = null; // Accessible
private ?int $age = null; // Inaccessible
// ...remaining not shown ...
}
Behaviour override
Should you wish to also expose your private declared properties, then this behaviour can be set per object from an inside scope.
use Aedart\Contracts\Properties\AccessibilityLevels;
use Aedart\Properties\Overload;
class Person
{
use Overload;
protected ?string $name = null; // Accessible
private ?int $age = null; // Accessible
public function __construct(){
// Change the property accessibility to private
$this->setPropertyAccessibilityLevel(AccessibilityLevels::PRIVATE_LEVEL);
}
}
