BaseSetGetClass

The BaseSetGetClass is a PHP class that streamlines property handling in other classes. By extending this class, you can eliminate the need to manually create setters and getters for each property. Simply define a property, and the class will generate corresponding methods for setting and getting the property's value.

Usage

• Extend BaseSetGetClass in your class definition:

class MyClass extends BaseSetGetClass {
    // Properties will automatically have setters and getters
    protected $name;
    protected $age;
}

• Use the generated setters and getters:

$myInstance = MyClass::setName("Hichem")->setAge(22);

$name = $myInstance->getName(); // Returns "Hichem"

$age = $myInstance->getAge();

This class simplifies property manipulation, making your code more concise and maintainable. It eliminates the repetitive task of creating setters and getters for each property manually.
