Implement object dereferencing for setters

[popovserhii]

Since PHP 5.4 appears awesomeness "class member access on instantiation"

(new CoolObject())->setSomething($option)->addOther($item)->etc()

It would be very useful add something like this to your library:

$actions = new Column\Action('edit');
$actions->setLabel(' ');
$actions->setTranslationEnabled();
$actions->setFormatters([
    (new \ZfcDatagrid\Column\Formatter\Link())
        ->setAttribute('class', 'pencil-edit')
        ->setLink('/spares-ras/products/' . $fmtr->getColumnValuePlaceholder($colId))
]);
$grid->addColumn($actions);

@popovsergiy you mean the fluent interface ? https://github.com/domnikl/DesignPatternsPHP/tree/master/Structural/FluentInterface

[popovserhii]

@ThaDafinser, yes but you are called this differently :-)

[popovserhii]

I meant call chain of methods

(new \ZfcDatagrid\Column\Formatter\Link())
        ->setAttribute('class', 'pencil-edit')
        ->setAttribute('data-href', '/some/link')
        ->setLink('/other/link')

I see your point.

In ZfcDatagrid, indeed, most of setters are not fluent (means that they don't return $this) you can't chain them.

Why not adding return $this.
