Traits in PHP are a way to reuse code in object-oriented programming. They let developers create reusable code that can be shared between classes without inheritance. Traits make adding specific behaviour to different types easy, allowing code to be reused across multiple class structures.
The trait is a valuable programming construct that allows for code reuse and provides a way to extend functionality in object-oriented programming languages.
But the real problem comes when
Here trait comes to rescue our problem, as we all know that PHP does not support multiple inheritances,
So from PHP 5.4, we can use traits to reuse the sets of methods in various independent classes.
Here in this article, we will discuss using traits in PHP to overcome the problem of multiple inheritances.
The trait is a mechanism for code reuse in single inheritance languages such as PHP. A Trait is intended to reduce some limitations of single inheritance by enabling a developer to reuse sets of methods freely in several independent classes living in different class hierarchies.
Here we will see a simple example of creating traits and using a standard set of methods in multiple classes using Trai.
<?php
trait BundleClass{
public function string_replace($search,$replace,$subject) {
return str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
}
public function in_array($value,$array) {
return in_array($value, $array);
}
}
// Here we have created a Simple trait BundleClass where we have set of common methods named 1)string_replace 2)in_array
class ClassOne extends ParentClassOne{
// Implement Trait
use BundleClass;
public function somefunction(){
$string="lazy dog";
// Use of Trait Class Function using $this
$newString=$this->string_replace('dog','cat',$string);
return $newString;
}
}
class ClassTwo extends ParentClassTwo{
// Implement Trait Class
use BundleClass;
public function somefunction(){
$array=['red','blue','green'];
// Use of Trait Class Function using $this
$find=$this->in_array('red',$array);
return $find;
}
}
$ClassOne=new ClassOne();
$ClassOne->somefunction();
//output: Lazy Cat
$ClassTwo=new ClassTwo();
$ClassTwo->somefunction();
//output: true
// In the above example you can see that both classes (ClassOne and ClassTwo) both having different parent classes inherited.
// To use our common set of methods we will simply add a trait using the “use BundleClass” keyword in our class.
//use of traits
Well, it was done by effectively implementing a robust PHP feature! Keep up the great coding efforts.
