    (PHP 8)

    ReflectionClass::getAttributes — Gets Attributes

    Description

    publicReflectionClass::getAttributes(?string$name = null, int$flags = 0): array

    Returns all attributes declared on this class as an array of ReflectionAttribute.

    Parameters

    name

    Filter the results to include only ReflectionAttribute instances for attributes matching this class name.

    flags

    Flags for determining how to filter the results, if name is provided.

    Default is 0 which will only return results for attributes that are of the class name.

    The only other option available, is to use ReflectionAttribute::IS_INSTANCEOF, which will instead use instanceof for filtering.

    Return Values

    Array of attributes, as a ReflectionAttribute object.

    Examples

    Example #1 Basic usage

    <?php
    #[Attribute]
    class     Fruit {
    }

    #[    Attribute]
    class     Red {
    }

    #[    Fruit]
    #[    Red]
    class     Apple {
    }

    $class = new ReflectionClass('Apple');
    $attributes = $class->getAttributes();
    print_r(array_map(fn($attribute) => $attribute->getName(), $attributes));
    ?>

    The above example will output:

    Array ( [0] => Fruit [1] => Red )

    Example #2 Filtering results by class name

    <?php
    #[Attribute]
    class     Fruit {
    }

    #[    Attribute]
    class     Red {
    }

    #[    Fruit]
    #[    Red]
    class     Apple {
    }

    $class = new ReflectionClass('Apple');
    $attributes = $class->getAttributes('Fruit');
    print_r(array_map(fn($attribute) => $attribute->getName(), $attributes));
    ?>

    The above example will output:

    Array ( [0] => Fruit )

    Example #3 Filtering results by class name, with inheritance

    <?php
    interface Color {
    }

    #[    Attribute]
    class     Fruit {
    }

    #[    Attribute]
    class     Red implements Color {
    }

    #[    Fruit]
    #[    Red]
    class     Apple {
    }

    $class = new ReflectionClass('Apple');
    $attributes = $class->getAttributes(Color::class, ReflectionAttribute::IS_INSTANCEOF);
    print_r(array_map(fn($attribute) => $attribute->getName(), $attributes));
    ?>

    The above example will output:

    Array ( [0] => Red )
