Vendimia\Helper\TextFromDocComment

Process a DocComment, (perhaps obtained with Reflection*::getDocComment() method), obtaining only the text with preceding or trailing spaces or empty lines removed. Also remove an initial * on each line.

public string $text

Processed text, also obtainable by using the class in a string context.

public function __construct(string $doc_comment, bool $merge_lines = true)

• string $doc_comment: Original doc comment.

• bool $merge_lines: true merges continuous non-empty lines as one, joined by a single empty space. false returns the lines as is.

Example

use Vendimia\Helper\TextFromDocComment;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

/**
 * This is a dummy function.
 *
 * Its purpose is to hold a multiline doc comment to test the
 * Vendimia\Helper\TextFromDocComment class.
 */
function dummy()
{

}

echo (string)new TextFromDocComment(
    new ReflectionFunction(dummy(...))->getDocComment()
);

This outputs:

This is a dummy function.
Its purpose is to hold a multiline doc comment to test the Vendimia\Helper\TextFromDocComment class. 

On PHP prior to 8.4, you must enclose new ReflectionFunction(dummy(...)) on parenthesis.
