How can I access a protected property of a Model located in a package (vendor folders)

Question

The model is in the vendor folder (normal package). I need to access an attribute of the model which is protected. NOTE: Not possible of making a getter in the model class.

Answer 1

To access a class property that is marked as protected you need to extend that class. Note that if that class is marked as final, you won't be able to do it.

Example:

class Parent {

    protected $property;

}

class Child extends Parent {

    public function getProperty()
    {
        return $this->property;
    }

}
