Rasgos (Traits)

Desde su versión 5.4.0, PHP implementa una metodología de reutilización de código llamada Traits.

Los rasgos («traits» en inglés) son un mecanismo de reutilización de código en lenguajes de herencia simple, como PHP. El objetivo de un rasgo es el de reducir las limitaciones propias de la herencia simple permitiendo que los desarrolladores reutilicen a voluntad conjuntos de métodos sobre varias clases independientes y pertenecientes a clases jerárquicas distintas. La semántica a la hora combinar Traits y clases se define de tal manera que reduzca su complejidad y se eviten los problemas típicos asociados a la herencia múltiple y a los Mixins.

Un Trait es similar a una clase, pero con el único objetivo de agrupar funcionalidades muy específicas y de una manera coherente. No se puede instanciar directamente un Trait. Es por tanto un añadido a la herencia tradicional, y habilita la composición horizontal de comportamientos; es decir, permite combinar miembros de clases sin tener que usar herencia.

Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de rasgo

<?php
trait ezcReflectionReturnInfo {
function
getReturnType() { /*1*/ }
function
getReturnDescription() { /*2*/ }
}

class
ezcReflectionMethod extends ReflectionMethod {
use
ezcReflectionReturnInfo;
/* ... */
}

class
ezcReflectionFunction extends ReflectionFunction {
use
ezcReflectionReturnInfo;
/* ... */
}
?>

Precedencia

Los miembros heredados de una clase base se sobrescriben cuando se inserta otro miembro homónimo desde un Trait. De acuerdo con el orden de precedencia, los miembros de la clase actual sobrescriben los métodos del Trait, que a su vez sobrescribe los métodos heredados.

Ejemplo #2 Ejemplo de Orden de Precedencia

Se sobrescribe un miembro de la clase base con el método insertado en MiHolaMundo a partir del Trait DecirMundo. El comportamiento es el mismo para los métodos definidos en la clase MiHolaMundo. Según el orden de precedencia los métodos de la clase actual sobrescriben los métodos del Trait, a la vez que el Trait sobrescribe los métodos de la clase base.

<?php
class Base {
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'¡Hola ';
}
}

trait
DecirMundo {
public function
decirHola() {
parent::decirHola();
echo
'Mundo!';
}
}

class
MiHolaMundo extends Base {
use
DecirMundo;
}

$o = new MiHolaMundo();
$o->decirHola();
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería:

¡Hola Mundo!

Ejemplo #3 Ejemplo de Orden de Precedencia #2

<?php
trait HolaMundo {
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'¡Hola Mundo!';
}
}

class
ElMundoNoEsSuficiente {
use
HolaMundo;
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'¡Hola Universo!';
}
}

$o = new ElMundoNoEsSuficiente();
$o->decirHola();
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería:

¡Hola Universo!

Multiples Traits

Se pueden insertar múltiples Traits en una clase, mediante una lista separada por comas en la sentencia use.

Ejemplo #4 Uso de varios rasgos

<?php
trait Hola {
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'Hola ';
}
}

trait
Mundo {
public function
decirMundo() {
echo
'Mundo';
}
}

class
MiHolaMundo {
use
Hola, Mundo;
public function
decirAdmiración() {
echo
'!';
}
}

$o = new MiHolaMundo();
$o->decirHola();
$o->decirMundo();
$o->decirAdmiración();
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería:

Hola Mundo!

Resolución de Conflictos

Si dos Traits insertan un método con el mismo nombre, se produce un error fatal, siempre y cuando no se haya resuelto explicitamente el conflicto.

Para resolver los conflictos de nombres entre Traits en una misma clase, se debe usar el operador insteadof para elegir unívocamente uno de los métodos conflictivos.

Como esto solamente permite excluir métodos, se puede utilizar el operador as para añadir un alias a uno de los métodos. Observe que el operador as no renombra el método ni afecta a cualquier otro método.

Ejemplo #5 Resolución de Conflictos

En este ejemplo, Talker utiliza los traits A y B. Como A y B tienen métodos conflictos, se define el uso de la variante de smallTalk del trait B, y la variante de bigTalk del trait A.

Aliased_Talker hace uso del operador as para poder usar la implementación de bigTalk de B, bajo el alias adicional talk.

<?php
trait A {
public function
smallTalk() {
echo
'a';
}
public function
bigTalk() {
echo
'A';
}
}

trait
B {
public function
smallTalk() {
echo
'b';
}
public function
bigTalk() {
echo
'B';
}
}

class
Talker {
use
A, B {
B::smallTalk insteadof A;
A::bigTalk insteadof B;
}
}

class
Aliased_Talker {
use
A, B {
B::smallTalk insteadof A;
A::bigTalk insteadof B;
B::bigTalk as talk;
}
}
?>

Nota:

Antes de PHP 7.0, definir una propiedad en una clase con el mismo nombre que en un rasgo lanzaba un E_STRICT si la definición de la clase era compatible (misma visivilidad y mismo valor inicial).

Modificando la Visibilidad de los Métodos

Al usar el operador as, se puede también ajustar la visibilidad del método en la clase exhibida.

Ejemplo #6 Modificar la Visibilidad de un Método

<?php
trait HolaMundo {
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'Hola Mundo!';
}
}

// Cambiamos visibilidad de decirHola
class MiClase1 {
use
HolaMundo { decirHola as protected; }
}

// Método alias con visibilidad cambiada
// La visibilidad de decirHola no cambia
class MiClase2 {
use
HolaMundo { decirHola as private miPrivadoHola; }
}
?>

Traits Compuestos de Traits

Al igual que las clases, los Traits también pueden hacer uso de otros Traits. Al usar uno o más traits en la definición de un trait, éste puede componerse parcial o completamente de miembros definidos en esos otros traits.

Ejemplo #7 Traits compuestos de traits

<?php
trait Hola {
public function
decirHola() {
echo
'Hola ';
}
}

trait
Mundo {
public function
decirMundo() {
echo
'Mundo!';
}
}

trait
HolaMundo {
use
Hola, Mundo;
}

class
MiHolaMundo {
use
HolaMundo;
}

$o = new MiHolaMundo();
$o->decirHola();
$o->decirMundo();
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería:

Hola Mundo!

Miembros Abstractos de Traits

Los traits soportan el uso de métodos abstractos para imponer requisitos a la clase a la que se exhiban.

Precaución

Una clase concreta cumple este requisito definiendo un método concreto con el mismo nombre; su firma puede ser diferente.

Ejemplo #8 Expresar Resquisitos con Métodos Abstractos

<?php
trait Hola {
public function
decirHolaMundo() {
echo
'Hola'.$this->obtenerMundo();
}
abstract public function
obtenerMundo();
}

class
MiHolaMundo {
private
$mundo;
use
Hola;
public function
obtenerMundo() {
return
$this->mundo;
}
public function
asignarMundo($val) {
$this->mundo = $val;
}
}
?>

Miembros Estáticos en Traits

Los trait pueden definir miembros y métodos estáticos.

Ejemplo #9 Variables estáticas

<?php
trait Contador {
public function
inc() {
static
$c = 0;
$c = $c + 1;
echo
"$c\n";
}
}

class
C1 {
use
Contador;
}

class
C2 {
use
Contador;
}

$o = new C1(); $o->inc(); // echo 1
$p = new C2(); $p->inc(); // echo 1
?>

Ejemplo #10 Métodos Estáticos

<?php
trait EjemploEstatico {
public static function
hacerAlgo() {
return
'Hacer algo';
}
}

class
Ejemplo {
use
EjemploEstatico;
}

Ejemplo::hacerAlgo();
?>

Propiedades

Los traits también pueden definir propiedades.

Ejemplo #11 Definir Propiedades

<?php
trait PropiedadesTrait {
public
$x = 1;
}

class
EjemploPropiedades {
use
PropiedadesTrait;
}

$ejemplo = new EjemploPropiedades;
$ejemplo->x;
?>

Si un trait define una propiedad, una clase no puede definir una propiedad con el mismo nombre, a menos que sea compatible (misma visibilidad y mismo valor inicial), si no, se emitirá un error fatal. Antes de PHP 7.0, definir una propiedad en una clase con la misma visibilidad y el mismo valor inicial que en el rasgo, emitía un aviso E_STRICT.

Ejemplo #12 Resolución de Conflictos

<?php
trait PropiedadesTrait {
public
$misma = true;
public
$diferente = false;
}

class
EjemploPropiedades {
use
PropiedadesTrait;
public
$misma = true; // Permitido a partir de PHP 7.0.0; aviso E_STRICT anteriormente
public $diferente = true; // Error fatal
}
?>

Unlike inheritance; if a trait has static properties, each class using that trait has independent instances of those properties.

Example using parent class:
<?php
class TestClass {
    public static
$_bar;
}
class
Foo1 extends TestClass { }
class
Foo2 extends TestClass { }
Foo1::$_bar = 'Hello';
Foo2::$_bar = 'World';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar; // Prints: World World
?>

Example using trait:
<?php
trait TestTrait {
    public static
$_bar;
}
class
Foo1 {
    use
TestTrait;
}
class
Foo2 {
    use
TestTrait;
}
Foo1::$_bar = 'Hello';
Foo2::$_bar = 'World';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar; // Prints: Hello World
?>

The best way to understand what traits are and how to use them is to look at them for what they essentially are:  language assisted copy and paste.

If you can copy and paste the code from one class to another (and we've all done this, even though we try not to because its code duplication) then you have a candidate for a trait.

Note that the "use" operator for traits (inside a class) and the "use" operator for namespaces (outside the class) resolve names differently. "use" for namespaces always sees its arguments as absolute (starting at the global namespace):

<?php
namespace Foo\Bar;
use
Foo\Test// means \Foo\Test - the initial \ is optional
?>

On the other hand, "use" for traits respects the current namespace:

<?php
namespace Foo\Bar;
class
SomeClass {
    use
Foo\Test;   // means \Foo\Bar\Foo\Test
}
?>

Together with "use" for closures, there are now three different "use" operators. They all mean different things and behave differently.

I have not seen this specific use case:

"Wanting to preserve action of parent class method, the trait one calling ::parent & also the child class mehod action".

// Child class.
use SuperTrait {
  initialize as initializeOr;
}
public function initialize(array &$element) {
  ...
  $this->initializeOr($element);
}
// Trait.
public function initialize(array &$element) {
  ...
  parent::initialize($element);
}
// Parent class.
public function initialize(array &$element) {
  ...
}

Another difference with traits vs inheritance is that methods defined in traits can access methods and properties of the class they're used in, including private ones.

For example:
<?php
trait MyTrait
{
  protected function
accessVar()
  {
    return
$this->var;
  }

}

class
TraitUser
{
  use
MyTrait;

  private
$var = 'var';

  public function
getVar()
  {
    return
$this->accessVar();
  }
}

$t = new TraitUser();
echo
$t->getVar(); // -> 'var'

It may be worth noting here that the magic constant __CLASS__ becomes even more magical - __CLASS__ will return the name of the class in which the trait is being used.

for example

<?php
trait sayWhere {
    public function
whereAmI() {
        echo
__CLASS__;
    }
}

class
Hello {
    use
sayWHere;
}

class
World {
    use
sayWHere;
}

$a = new Hello;
$a->whereAmI(); //Hello

$b = new World;
$b->whereAmI(); //World
?>

The magic constant __TRAIT__ will giev you the name of the trait

Keep in mind; "final" keyword is useless in traits when directly using them, unlike extending classes / abstract classes.

<?php
trait Foo {
    final public function
hello($s) { print "$s, hello!"; }
}
class
Bar {
    use
Foo;
   
// Overwrite, no error
   
final public function hello($s) { print "hello, $s!"; }
}

abstract class
Foo {
    final public function
hello($s) { print "$s, hello!"; }
}
class
Bar extends Foo {
   
// Fatal error: Cannot override final method Foo::hello() in ..
   
final public function hello($s) { print "hello, $s!"; }
}
?>

But this way will finalize trait methods as expected;

<?php
trait FooTrait {
    final public function
hello($s) { print "$s, hello!"; }
}
abstract class
Foo {
    use
FooTrait;
}
class
Bar extends Foo {
   
// Fatal error: Cannot override final method Foo::hello() in ..
   
final public function hello($s) { print "hello, $s!"; }
}
?>

About the (Safak Ozpinar / safakozpinar at gmail)'s great note, you can still have the same behavior than inheritance using trait with this approach :
<?php

trait TestTrait {
    public static
$_bar;
}

class
FooBar {
    use
TestTrait;
}

class
Foo1 extends FooBar {

}
class
Foo2 extends FooBar {

}
Foo1::$_bar = 'Hello';
Foo2::$_bar = 'World';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar; // Prints: World World

A number of the notes make incorrect assertions about trait behaviour because they do not extend the class.

So, while "Unlike inheritance; if a trait has static properties, each class using that trait has independent instances of those properties.

Example using parent class:
<?php
class TestClass {
    public static
$_bar;
}
class
Foo1 extends TestClass { }
class
Foo2 extends TestClass { }
Foo1::$_bar = 'Hello';
Foo2::$_bar = 'World';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar; // Prints: World World
?>

Example using trait:
<?php
trait TestTrait {
    public static
$_bar;
}
class
Foo1 {
    use
TestTrait;
}
class
Foo2 {
    use
TestTrait;
}
Foo1::$_bar = 'Hello';
Foo2::$_bar = 'World';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar; // Prints: Hello World
?>"

shows a correct example, simply adding
<?php
require_once('above');
class
Foo3 extends Foo2 {
}
Foo3::$_bar = 'news';
echo
Foo1::$_bar . ' ' . Foo2::$_bar . ' ' . Foo3::$_bar;

// Prints: Hello news news

I think the best conceptual model of an incorporated trait is an advanced insertion of text, or as someone put it "language assisted copy and paste." If Foo1 and Foo2 were defined with $_bar, you would not expect them to share the instance. Similarly, you would expect Foo3 to share with Foo2, and it does.

Viewing this way explains away a lot of  the 'quirks' that are observed above with final, or subsequently declared private vars,

Here is an example how to work with visiblity and conflicts.

<?php

trait A
{
    private function
smallTalk()
    {
        echo
'a';
    }

    private function
bigTalk()
    {
        echo
'A';
    }
}

trait
B
{
    private function
smallTalk()
    {
        echo
'b';
    }

    private function
bigTalk()
    {
        echo
'B';
    }
}

trait
C
{
    public function
smallTalk()
    {
        echo
'c';
    }

    public function
bigTalk()
    {
        echo
'C';
    }
}

class
Talker
{
    use
A, B, C {
       
//visibility for methods that will be involved in conflict resolution
       
B::smallTalk as public;
       
A::bigTalk as public;

       
//conflict resolution
       
B::smallTalk insteadof A, C;
       
A::bigTalk insteadof B, C;

       
//aliases with visibility change
       
B::bigTalk as public Btalk;
       
A::smallTalk as public asmalltalk;
       
       
//aliases only, methods already defined as public
       
C::bigTalk as Ctalk;
       
C::smallTalk as cmallstalk;
    }

}

(new
Talker)->bigTalk();//A
(new Talker)->Btalk();//B
(new Talker)->Ctalk();//C

(new Talker)->asmalltalk();//a
(new Talker)->smallTalk();//b
(new Talker)->cmallstalk();//c

Note that you can omit a method's inclusion by excluding it from one trait in favor of the other and doing the exact same thing in the reverse way.

<?php

trait A {
    public function
sayHello()
    {
        echo
'Hello from A';
    }

    public function
sayWorld()
    {
        echo
'World from A';
    }
}

trait
B {
    public function
sayHello()
    {
        echo
'Hello from B';
    }

    public function
sayWorld()
    {
        echo
'World from B';
    }
}

class
Talker {
    use
A, B {
       
A::sayHello insteadof B;
       
A::sayWorld insteadof B;
       
B::sayWorld insteadof A;
    }
}

$talker = new Talker();
$talker->sayHello();
$talker->sayWorld();

?>

The method sayHello is imported, but the method sayWorld is simply excluded.

As already noted, static properties and methods in trait could be accessed directly using trait. Since trait is language assisted c/p, you should be aware that static property from trait will be initialized to the value trait property had in the time of class declaration.

Example:

<?php

trait Beer {
    protected static
$type = 'Light';
    public static function
printed(){
        echo static::
$type.PHP_EOL;
    }
    public static function
setType($type){
        static::
$type = $type;
    }
}

class
Ale {
    use
Beer;
}

Beer::setType("Dark");

class
Lager {
    use
Beer;
}

Beer::setType("Amber");

header("Content-type: text/plain");

Beer::printed();  // Prints: Amber
Ale::printed();   // Prints: Light
Lager::printed(); // Prints: Dark

The difference between Traits and multiple inheritance is in the inheritance part.   A trait is not inherited from, but rather included or mixed-in, thus becoming part of "this class".   Traits also provide a more controlled means of resolving conflicts that inevitably arise when using multiple inheritance in the few languages that support them (C++).  Most modern languages are going the approach of a "traits" or "mixin" style system as opposed to multiple-inheritance, largely due to the ability to control ambiguities if a method is declared in multiple "mixed-in" classes.

Also, one can not "inherit" static member functions in multiple-inheritance.

(It's already been said, but for the sake of searching on the word "relative"...)

The "use" keyword to import a trait into a class will resolve relative to the current namespace and therefore should include a leading slash to represent a full path, whereas "use" at the namespace level is always absolute.

If you override a method which was defined by a trait, calling the parent method will also call the trait's override. Therefore if you need to derive from a class which has a trait, you can extend the class without losing the trait's functionality:

<?php

trait ExampleTrait
{
    public function
output()
    {
       
parent::output();
        echo
"bar<br>";
    }
}

class
Foo
{
    public function
output()
    {
        echo
"foo<br>";
    }
}

class
FooBar extends Foo
{
    use
ExampleTrait;
}

class
FooBarBaz extends FooBar
{
    use
ExampleTrait;
    public function
output()
    {
       
parent::output();
        echo
"baz";
    }
}

(new
FooBarBaz())->output();
?>

Output:
foo
bar
baz

Traits are useful for strategies, when you want the same data to be handled (filtered, sorted, etc) differently.

For example, you have a list of products that you want to filter out based on some criteria (brands, specs, whatever), or sorted by different means (price, label, whatever). You can create a sorting trait that contains different functions for different sorting types (numeric, string, date, etc). You can then use this trait not only in your product class (as given in the example), but also in other classes that need similar strategies (to apply a numeric sort to some data, etc).

<?php
trait SortStrategy {
    private
$sort_field = null;
    private function
string_asc($item1, $item2) {
        return
strnatcmp($item1[$this->sort_field], $item2[$this->sort_field]);
    }
    private function
string_desc($item1, $item2) {
        return
strnatcmp($item2[$this->sort_field], $item1[$this->sort_field]);
    }
    private function
num_asc($item1, $item2) {
        if (
$item1[$this->sort_field] == $item2[$this->sort_field]) return 0;
        return (
$item1[$this->sort_field] < $item2[$this->sort_field] ? -1 : 1 );
    }
    private function
num_desc($item1, $item2) {
        if (
$item1[$this->sort_field] == $item2[$this->sort_field]) return 0;
        return (
$item1[$this->sort_field] > $item2[$this->sort_field] ? -1 : 1 );
    }
    private function
date_asc($item1, $item2) {
       
$date1 = intval(str_replace('-', '', $item1[$this->sort_field]));
       
$date2 = intval(str_replace('-', '', $item2[$this->sort_field]));
        if (
$date1 == $date2) return 0;
        return (
$date1 < $date2 ? -1 : 1 );
    }
    private function
date_desc($item1, $item2) {
       
$date1 = intval(str_replace('-', '', $item1[$this->sort_field]));
       
$date2 = intval(str_replace('-', '', $item2[$this->sort_field]));
        if (
$date1 == $date2) return 0;
        return (
$date1 > $date2 ? -1 : 1 );
    }
}

1. no deprecate if same-class-named method get from trait
2. replace same-named method ba to aa in C

trait ATrait {
    public function a(){
        return 'Aa';
    }
}

trait BTrait {
    public function a(){
        return 'Ba';
    }
}

    }
}

$o = new C;
echo $o->a(), "\n";

If you want to resolve name conflicts and also change the visibility of a trait method, you'll need to declare both in the same line:

trait testTrait{
   
    public function test(){
        echo 'trait test';
    }
   
}

class myClass{
   
    use testTrait {
        testTrait::test as private testTraitF;
    }
   
    public function test(){
        echo 'class test';
        echo '<br/>';
        $this->testTraitF();
    }
   
}

$obj = new myClass();
$obj->test(); //prints both 'trait test' and 'class test'
$obj->testTraitF(); //The method is not accessible (Fatal error: Call to private method myClass::testTraitF() )

Adding to "atorich at gmail dot com":

The behavior of the magic constant __CLASS__ when used in traits is as expected if you understand traits and late static binding (http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php).

<?php

$format
= 'Class: %-13s | get_class(): %-13s | get_called_class(): %-13s%s';

trait
TestTrait {
    public function
testMethod() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
   
    public static function
testStatic() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
}

trait
DuplicateTrait {
    public function
duplMethod() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
   
    public static function
duplStatic() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
}

abstract class
AbstractClass {
   
    use
DuplicateTrait;
   
    public function
absMethod() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
   
    public static function
absStatic() {
        global
$format;
       
printf($format, __CLASS__, get_class(), get_called_class(), PHP_EOL);
    }
}

class
BaseClass extends AbstractClass {
    use
TestTrait;
}

class
TestClass extends BaseClass { }

$t = new TestClass();

$t->testMethod();
TestClass::testStatic();

$t->absMethod();
TestClass::absStatic();

$t->duplMethod();
TestClass::duplStatic();

?>

Will output:

Class: BaseClass     | get_class(): BaseClass     | get_called_class(): TestClass   
Class: BaseClass     | get_class(): BaseClass     | get_called_class(): TestClass   
Class: AbstractClass | get_class(): AbstractClass | get_called_class(): TestClass   
Class: AbstractClass | get_class(): AbstractClass | get_called_class(): TestClass   
Class: AbstractClass | get_class(): AbstractClass | get_called_class(): TestClass   
Class: AbstractClass | get_class(): AbstractClass | get_called_class(): TestClass

Since Traits are considered literal "copying/pasting" of code, it's clear how the methods defined in DuplicateTrait give the same results as the methods defined in AbstractClass.

A note to 'Beispiel #9 Statische Variablen'. A trait can also have a static property:

trait Counter {
    static $trvar=1;

    public static function stfunc() {
        echo "Hello world!"
    }
}

class C1 {
    use Counter;
}

print "\nTRVAR: " . C1::$trvar . "\n";   //prints 1

$obj = new C1();
C1::stfunc();   //prints  Hello world!
$obj->stfunc();   //prints Hello world!

A static property (trvar) can only be accessed using the classname (C1).
But a static function (stfunc) can be accessed using the classname or the instance ($obj).

I think it's obvious to notice that using 'use' followed by the traits name must be seen as just copying/pasting lines of code into the place where they are used.
