PHP Docblock Text Parser

Simple tool to parse PHP docblock text with ability to also read tags and their arguments in form:

/**
 * Some text.
 *
 * @whatever-tags(with-arguments: yes, or-even=these)
 */

... or you can parse text directly even without the block comment wrapping:

Some text.

@whatever-tags(with-arguments: yes, or-even=these)

Results of parsing

• DocBlock
  • Comment text (title + body)
  • Comment title
  • Comment body
  • Tag objects
    • Tag name
    • TagArg objects
      • Tag argument name
      • Tag argument Value

Example usage

<?php

$text =<<<TEXT
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nulla quis diam. In rutrum. Maecenas libero. Nemo
enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia
consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.

@tag1
@tag2.abc(arg1: yes, arg2 = no, arg3-without-value, arg4=maybe)
@tag3
@tag3(but_with: argument)
TEXT;

$docBlock = \Smuuf\DocBlockParser\Parser::parse($text);

//
// Title, body, text.
//

$docBlock->hasTitle(); // true
$docBlock->getTitle(); // "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet."
$docBlock->getBody(); // "Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nulla quis diam ..."
$docBlock->getText(); // "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Consectetuer ..."

//
// Tags.
//

$docBlock->getTags(); // Tags object containing all tags.
$docBlock->hasTag('tag1'); // true
$docBlock->hasTag('tag2.abc'); // true
$docBlock->hasTag('tag3'); // true
$docBlock->hasTag('tag999lol'); // false

//
// Single tag.
//

$tag = $docBlock->getTags('tag2.abc')->getFirst(); // Instance of Tag object.
$tag->getArgs(); // A dict array of [tag_arg_name => TagArg object]

//
// Multiple tags with the same name.
//

$docBlock->getTags('tag3')->getAll(); // List array [<Tag object for "@tag3">, <Tag object for "@tag3(but_with: argument)">]

$tag = $docBlock->getTags('tag3')->getFirst(); // Instance of Tag object for the tag "@tag3".
$tag->getArgs(); // An empty array.

//
// Tag args.
//

$tag = $docBlock->getTags('tag2.abc')->getFirst();
$tag->hasArg('arg1'); // true
$tag->hasArg('arg2'); // true
$tag->hasArg('arg999'); // false

$tagArg = $tag->getArg('arg2'); // Instance of TagArg object.
$tagArg->getName(); // "arg2"
$tagArg->getValue(); // "no"

$tagArg = $tag->getArg('arg3-without-value'); // Instance of TagArg object.
$tagArg->getName(); // "arg3-without-value"
$tagArg->getValue(); // null
