---
# Description
Introduced in [PHP 8.0](20201109133834-php_8_0). Attributes[^1] are a
way to add metadata to classes. Stitcher[^2] has an article that goes in
depth.
# Syntax
``` php
use App\Attributes\ExampleAttribute;
#[ExampleAttribute]
class Foo
{
#[ExampleAttribute]
public const FOO = 'foo';
#[ExampleAttribute]
public $x;
#[ExampleAttribute]
public function foo(#[ExampleAttribute] $bar) { }
}
```
``` php
#[Attribute]
class ExampleAttribute
{
public $value;
public function __construct($value)
{
$this->value = $value;
}
}
```
