README

A function to get a peek at private parts of an object.

Installation

composer require --dev alecrabbit/php-sneaky-peek

This package is intended for DEVELOPMENT purposes only.

Usage

class Awesome
{
    private $secret = '1234';
    
    protected function protectedMethod() {
        return 'protected';
    }    
    
    protected static function protectedStaticMethod() {
        return 'protected static';
    }    
}

// ...

peek(new Awesome())->secret; // '1234'
peek(new Awesome())->protectedMethod(); // 'protected'

In case you want to access static properties or methods you can pass FQCN as an argument instead of an object.

peek(Awesome::class)->protectedStaticMethod(); // 'protected static'

How it is different from spatie/invade?

The main difference is invade can work with objects only, while peek can work with both objects and FQCN(class-string).
