README
This library provides a way of avoiding usage of constructors when instantiating PHP classes.
Installation
The suggested installation method is via composer:
composer require doctrine/instantiator
Usage
The instantiator is able to create new instances of any class without using the constructor or any API of the class itself:
$instantiator = new \Doctrine\Instantiator\Instantiator(); $instance = $instantiator->instantiate(\My\ClassName\Here::class);

Credits
This library was migrated from ocramius/instantiator, which has been donated to the doctrine organization, and which is now deprecated in favour of this package.
