What?

Classes can have constructors, so why not deconstructors?

Why?

Allows an object to describe how it was instantiated, allowing identical copies to be created from its constructor arguments.

How?

<?php

class ValueObject implements MGDigital\Deconstructor\DeconstructorInterface
{

    private $property;

    public function __construct($property)
    {
        $this->property = $property;
    }

    public function deconstruct(): array
    {
        return [$this->property];
    }

    public function getProperty()
    {
        return $this->property;
    }

}

$instance = new ValueObject('value');
$deconstruction = MGDigital\Deconstructor\Deconstruction::deconstruct($instance);
$copy = $deconstruction->construct();
echo $copy->getProperty(); // value
