Informations about the package php-cloneable

Installation
You can install the package via composer:
Usage
In PHP 8.1, readonly properties aren't allowed to be overridden as soon as they are initialized. That also means that cloning an object and changing one of its readonly properties isn't allowed. It's likely that PHP will get some kind of clone with
functionality in the future, but for now you can work around this issue by using this package.
The Spatie\Cloneable\Cloneable
adds a with
method to whatever class you want to be cloneable, which you can pass one or more parameters. Note that you're required to use named arguments.
A common practice would be to implement specific with*
methods on the classes themselves:
Caveats
- This package will skip calling the constructor when cloning an object, meaning any logic in the constructor won't be executed.
- The
with
method will do a shallow clone, meaning that nested objects aren't cloned as well.
