# Framework # Common classes and traits used in many MensBeam projects ## Exception ## Basic exception framework using constants for error codes with corresponding messages. Exceptions can have any number of parameters that are varied from error code to error code. ## Faux Read Only ## A trait containing a getter that will allow reading of protected properties that begin with an underscore, making them appear readonly. Cannot be used with Magic Properties. ## Magic Properties ## Let's face it. Getters and setters in PHP sucks. Instead of having getter and setter accessor methods for classes we instead have the `__get` and `__set` magic methods to handle all properties. Not only are they unwieldy to use when you have many properties they also become difficult to handle when inheriting, especially when traits are involved. This trait attempts to create hackish getter and setter methods that can be extended by simple inheritance.
