Decorators

PHP 7 still lacks for decorators. Like class and method decorators.

Here I use an decorator called "Authorize" in various languages.

C#

[Authorize]
public ActionResult Foo()
{
    return View();
}

Java

@Authorize
public void Foo()
{
    // something
}

Python

@authorize
def foo()
    # something

Note: Java calls them annotations, C# calls them attributes, and they originated in functional and aspect-oriented programming under the name advice.
They're not to be confused with the decorator pattern.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.
In Python they called decorators.

Let me put this this way

    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @Assert\NotBlank()
     * @Assert\Type(type="string")
     * @MongoDB\String
     */
    private $title;

I use annotations on daily basic since I switched to symfony 2 (2012). There are no official specification for these, but it's commonly used.

*nod* I'm primarily a Python programmer and I use them heavily. I didn't feel it was necessary to mention that because you obviously know that and I know that I know it too.

But that is no real native support in the language.
That is a ugly hack using reflection on comments.
