The ReflectionDocBlock Component
================================

> This is a fork of [phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock 2.x](https://github.com/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock/tree/release/2.x) combined with bits of [phpDocumentor/TypeResolver](https://github.com/phpDocumentor/TypeResolver) and various tweaks. The main reason for this fork is to add functionality for https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
> Any other use of this library is discouraged. You are probably better of using https://github.com/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock directly.

Introduction
------------

The ReflectionDocBlock component of phpDocumentor provides a DocBlock parser
that is 100% compatible with the [PHPDoc standard](http://phpdoc.org/docs/latest).

With this component, a library can provide support for annotations via DocBlocks
or otherwise retrieve information that is embedded in a DocBlock.

> **Note**: *this is a core component of phpDocumentor and is constantly being
> optimized for performance.*

Installation
------------

You can install the component in the following ways:

* Use the official Github repository (https://github.com/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock)
* Via Composer (http://packagist.org/packages/phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock)

Usage
-----

The ReflectionDocBlock component is designed to work in an identical fashion to
PHP's own Reflection extension (http://php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php).

Parsing can be initiated by instantiating the
`\phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock()` class and passing it a string containing
a DocBlock (including asterisks) or by passing an object supporting the
`getDocComment()` method.

> *Examples of objects having the `getDocComment()` method are the
> `ReflectionClass` and the `ReflectionMethod` classes of the PHP
> Reflection extension*

Example:

$class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass');
$phpdoc = new \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock($class);

or

$docblock = <<
