Because the version 3 is a full API rewrites, and used namespaces, your old code cannot migrate without a little change.

We will try to explain how to do in few steps.

Collections

Version 2.x used collections of data models that we can enumerate and exploit. Version 3.x return only a single data model that match object to reflect.

In version 2.x, we have collections of data models that we can enumerate and exploit.

Example 1. Exploit model collections to print methods of a user class
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Bartlett\Reflect;
use Bartlett\Reflect\ProviderManager;
use Bartlett\Reflect\Provider\SymfonyFinderProvider;

use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()
    ->name('*.php')
    ->in('/path/to/');

// Identify Data Source
$pm = new ProviderManager;
$pm->set('Sample', new SymfonyFinderProvider($finder));

$reflect = new Reflect;
$reflect->setProviderManager($pm);
$reflect->parse();

// Exploit results
foreach ($reflect->getPackages() as $package) {
    foreach ($package->getClasses() as $class) {
        if ('VendorNamespace\\VendorClass' === $class->getName()) {
            $methods = array();

            foreach ($class->getMethods() as $method) {
                $methods[] = $method->getShortName();
            }
            printf( 'Methods are : %s' . PHP_EOL, print_r($methods, true) );
        }
    }
}

In version 3.x, we have a single data model corresponding to a user class or function.

Example 2. Print methods of a user class
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Bartlett\Reflect\Client;

// creates an instance of client
$client = new Client();

// request for a Bartlett\Reflect\Api\Reflection
$api = $client->api('reflection');

// perform request, on a data source
$dataSource = '/path/to/';

// equivalent to CLI command `phpreflect reflection:class VendorNamespace\VendorClass /path/to`
$class = $api->class('VendorNamespace\\VendorClass', $dataSource);

$methods = array();

foreach ($class->getMethods() as $method) {
    $methods[] = $method->getShortName();
}
printf( 'Methods are : %s' . PHP_EOL, print_r($methods, true) );

Summary

Let’s review what we’ve did :

  • Analysed a data source

  • Exploited Bartlett\Reflect\Model\ClassModel object from both versions 2.x and 3.x
