danslo/magento2-module-protected-interceptors 1.0.0

Allows you to create Magento 2 plugins for protected methods.

Protected Interceptors for Magento 2

With the addition of interceptors, we have a powerful tool to modify the behavior of almost any component in Magento 2.

The core developers have very good reasons to disallow interception of non-public methods. In an ideal world, we would have small classes with minimal inheritance (composite reuse principle) with easy to modify public interfaces. In practice, we're still often forced to use preferences.

This module modifies the code generator to also generate interceptors for protected methods. That's quite probably a bad thing, and you should not install this at all. But maybe you like to learn a bit more about how interception is implemented in Magento 2 and don't mind breaking things. Then go right ahead :)

Installation

$ composer require danslo/magento2-module-protected-interceptors
