Writes and reads values to/from an object/array graph.

AbstractInterface
Methods
public abstract getValue(object|array $objectOrArray, Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyPathInterface|string $propertyPath) : ?mixed
 

Returns the value at the end of the property path of the object graph.

Example:

use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess;

$propertyAccessor = PropertyAccess::createPropertyAccessor();

echo $propertyAccessor->getValue($object, 'child.name');
// equals echo $object->getChild()->getName();

This method first tries to find a public getter for each property in the path. The name of the getter must be the camel-cased property name prefixed with "get", "is", or "has".

If the getter does not exist, this method tries to find a public property. The value of the property is then returned.

If none of them are found, an exception is thrown.

  • throws \Exception\InvalidArgumentException If the property path is invalid
  • throws \Exception\AccessException If a property/index does not exist or is not public
  • throws \Exception\UnexpectedTypeException If a value within the path is neither object nor array
public abstract isReadable(object|array $objectOrArray, Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyPathInterface|string $propertyPath) : bool
 

Returns whether a property path can be read from an object graph.

Whenever this method returns true, {@link getValue()} is guaranteed not to throw an exception when called with the same arguments.

  • throws \Exception\InvalidArgumentException If the property path is invalid
public abstract isWritable(object|array $objectOrArray, Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyPathInterface|string $propertyPath) : bool
 

Returns whether a value can be written at a given property path.

Whenever this method returns true, {@link setValue()} is guaranteed not to throw an exception when called with the same arguments.

  • throws \Exception\InvalidArgumentException If the property path is invalid
public abstract setValue(object|array $objectOrArray, Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyPathInterface|string $propertyPath, ?mixed $value) : void
 

Sets the value at the end of the property path of the object graph.

Example:

use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess;

$propertyAccessor = PropertyAccess::createPropertyAccessor();

echo $propertyAccessor->setValue($object, 'child.name', 'Fabien');
// equals echo $object->getChild()->setName('Fabien');

This method first tries to find a public setter for each property in the path. The name of the setter must be the camel-cased property name prefixed with "set".

If the setter does not exist, this method tries to find a public property. The value of the property is then changed.

If neither is found, an exception is thrown.

  • throws \Exception\InvalidArgumentException If the property path is invalid
  • throws \Exception\AccessException If a property/index does not exist or is not public
  • throws \Exception\UnexpectedTypeException If a value within the path is neither object nor array
