FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

SetnGeti
Using SetnGeti allows you to define automatic setters and getters for object properties in your PHP 5.4+ projects.
Automatic setter and getter methods
By using SetnGeti methods, you can eliminate the effort that usually goes into writing needless amounts of get and set methods by just adding an @get and/or @set tag to the properties you'd like to expose:
By adding only an @get tag to a property, you can ensure that the property will only be available for read-only access. On the other hand, a property with just an @set tag will be write only.
Trying to access a setMethod() on a property without @set, or getMethod() for a property without @get, you will cause a RuntimeException to be thrown.
Automatic filtering and typecasting
When setting a property using an automatic setter, you can control the datatype of the property using the @var tag. The @var tag can one of the following types:
- A class name
- An interface name
- mixed
- boolean (or bool)
- integer (or int)
- double
- string
- array
- object
- resource
- null
When setting the property, its value will be tested and in case of a scalar value be typecasted into the required datatype.
When setting an object to the property value, it will be validated for conformance to the required class or interface name. When an incompatible object is passed, an InvalidArgumentException will be thrown.
Setter Method chaining
The automatic setter methods of SetnGeti allow method chaining by returning the owner object by default. This allows you to write code like:
Property access instead of getter and setter methods
As an alternative to having getter and setter methods added to your properties you might want to access your properties from the outside without marking them public so you can still control access to them.
To allow for this, add the \SetnGeti\Properties trait instead. Now you can access private an protected properties as long as you've added the appropriate @get and @set tags.
I'm not saying this approach is generally a good idea, but with a legacy code base depending on public object properties, this might be a reasonable option to start controlling property access.
