NikicPropertyNode
class NikicPropertyNode implements PropertyNode (View source)
Adapter for nikic/php-parser PropertyItem nodes.
Implements complete PropertyNode interface. Requires both PropertyItem (for name) and Property statement (for modifiers/type).
Traits
Evaluates constant expressions from stub sources to plain PHP values.
Methods

TypeNode|null
getType()
Get the property type, or null if no type hint.
DocCommentNode|null
getDocComment()
Get the doc comment, or null if no doc comment.
array
getAttributes()
Get the property attributes (PHP 8.0+).
bool
hasDefaultValue()
Whether the property has a default value, matching ReflectionProperty::hasDefaultValue().
Note the asymmetry between typed and untyped properties, which is why this is NOT simply "an initializer is present in the source":
public $a;untyped, no initializer => true (implicit null default)public $b = 5;untyped, initializer => truepublic int $c;typed, no initializer => false (uninitialized)public int $d = 7;typed, initializer => true
Reflection reports no untyped property as lacking a default, so an implementation that only checked for an initializer would disagree with reflection on every untyped property.
mixed
getDefaultValue()
Evaluate and return the property's default value.
Returns null for an untyped property with no initializer — that is its genuine
PHP default, even though the runtime may report a different value for an internal
class whose C declaration specifies one (e.g. \Exception::$message is protected $message; in the stubs but "" at runtime). Such a difference is a real
stub/runtime discrepancy, not an artifact of this method.
