-Code generation
-===============
-
-It is also possible to generate code using the parser, by first creating an Abstract Syntax Tree and then using the
-pretty printer to convert it to PHP code. To simplify code generation, the project comes with builders which allow
-creating node trees using a fluid interface, instead of instantiating all nodes manually. Builders are available for
-the following syntactic elements:
-
- * namespaces and use statements
- * classes, interfaces and traits
- * methods, functions and parameters
- * properties
-
-Here is an example:
-
-```php
-use PhpParser\BuilderFactory;
-use PhpParser\PrettyPrinter;
-use PhpParser\Node;
-
-$factory = new BuilderFactory;
-$node = $factory->namespace('Name\Space')
- ->addStmt($factory->use('Some\Other\Thingy')->as('SomeOtherClass'))
- ->addStmt($factory->class('SomeClass')
- ->extend('SomeOtherClass')
- ->implement('A\Few', '\Interfaces')
- ->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
-
- ->addStmt($factory->method('someMethod')
- ->makePublic()
- ->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
- ->setReturnType('bool')
- ->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setTypeHint('SomeClass'))
- ->setDocComment('/**
- * This method does something.
- *
- * @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
- */')
- )
-
- ->addStmt($factory->method('anotherMethod')
- ->makeProtected() // ->makePublic() [default], ->makePrivate()
- ->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setDefault('test'))
- // it is possible to add manually created nodes
- ->addStmt(new Node\Expr\Print_(new Node\Expr\Variable('someParam')))
- )
-
- // properties will be correctly reordered above the methods
- ->addStmt($factory->property('someProperty')->makeProtected())
- ->addStmt($factory->property('anotherProperty')->makePrivate()->setDefault(array(1, 2, 3)))
- )
-
- ->getNode()
-;
-
-$stmts = array($node);
-$prettyPrinter = new PrettyPrinter\Standard();
-echo $prettyPrinter->prettyPrintFile($stmts);
-```
-
-This will produce the following output with the standard pretty printer:
-
-```php
-<?php
-
-namespace Name\Space;
-
-use Some\Other\Thingy as SomeClass;
-abstract class SomeClass extends SomeOtherClass implements A\Few, \Interfaces
-{
- protected $someProperty;
- private $anotherProperty = array(1, 2, 3);
- /**
- * This method does something.
- *
- * @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
- */
- public abstract function someMethod(SomeClass $someParam) : bool;
- protected function anotherMethod($someParam = 'test')
- {
- print $someParam;
- }
-}
-```
