Outside of access restrictions, a common use case I've seen for
property
accessors is lazy-loading, which I know is something you use in
other forms.
I had already tested the write-once properties RFC with lazy-loading:
works just fine 👍
I meant that property accessors can be used to implement lazy-loading,
removing the need for magic methods and dynamic references to variables,
e.g.:
class Whatever {
private string $_name;
public string $name {
get {
if( ! isset($_name) ) { $this->loadData(); }
return $this->_name;
}
}
}
