class_uses — Return the traits used by the given class
This function returns an array with the names of the traits that the
given class uses. This does however not include
any traits used by a parent class.
classAn object (class instance) or a string (class name).
autoloadWhether to allow this function to load the class automatically through the __autoload() magic method.
An array on success, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 class_uses() example
<?php
trait foo { }
class bar {
use foo;
}
print_r(class_uses(new bar));
print_r(class_uses('bar'));
function __autoload($class_name) {
require_once $class_name . '.php';
}
// use __autoload to load the 'not_loaded' class
print_r(class_uses('not_loaded', true));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[foo] => foo
)
Array
(
[foo] => foo
)
Array
(
[trait_of_not_loaded] => trait_of_not_loaded
)
To get ALL traits including those used by parent classes and other traits, use this function:
<?php
function class_uses_deep($class, $autoload = true) {
$traits = [];
do {
$traits = array_merge(class_uses($class, $autoload), $traits);
} while($class = get_parent_class($class));
foreach ($traits as $trait => $same) {
$traits = array_merge(class_uses($trait, $autoload), $traits);
}
return array_unique($traits);
}
?>
A slighly modified version from Stealz that also checks all the "parent" traits used by the traits:
<?php
public static function class_uses_deep($class, $autoload = true)
{
$traits = [];
// Get traits of all parent classes
do {
$traits = array_merge(class_uses($class, $autoload), $traits);
} while ($class = get_parent_class($class));
// Get traits of all parent traits
$traitsToSearch = $traits;
while (!empty($traitsToSearch)) {
$newTraits = class_uses(array_pop($traitsToSearch), $autoload);
$traits = array_merge($newTraits, $traits);
$traitsToSearch = array_merge($newTraits, $traitsToSearch);
};
foreach ($traits as $trait => $same) {
$traits = array_merge(class_uses($trait, $autoload), $traits);
}
return array_unique($traits);
}
?>
FYI: It is not explicitly stated, but if you run this function against a class that does not use any traits it will return an empty array.
<?php
class iDontUseTraits {
}
class_uses('iDontUseTraits'); // Returns empty array
?>
