Plugin for the [XP Compiler](https://github.com/xp-framework/compiler/) which adds compact methods to the PHP language.

Example

-------

Compact methods use the `fn` keyword, much like [PHP 7.4 arrow functions](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/arrow_functions_v2). The RFC suggests this in its *Future Scope* section.

```php

class Person {

  private $name;

  public fn name(): string => $this->name;

}

```

Installation

------------

After installing the XP Compiler into your project, also include this plugin.

```bash

$ composer require xp-framework/compiler

# ...

$ composer require xp-lang/php-compact-methods

# ...

```

No further action is required.
