Introduction

This library provides a way of avoiding usage of constructors when instantiating PHP classes.

Installation

The suggested installation method is via composer_:

.. code-block:: console

$ composer require doctrine/instantiator

Usage

The instantiator is able to create new instances of any class without using the constructor or any API of the class itself:

.. code-block:: php

<?php

use Doctrine\Instantiator\Instantiator;
use App\Entities\User;

$instantiator = new Instantiator();

$user = $instantiator->instantiate(User::class);

Testing
