PHP Class with Class Attributes

```php
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

class Abc
{
    #[TestAttribute11(["key1" => "key1 value"])]
    #[TestAttribute12(10.13)]
    #[TestAttribute13(123)]
    #[TestAttribute14()]
    #[TestAttribute15(["value1", "value2"])]
    public function function1() {
        // rest of the codes
    }
    // rest of the codes
}
```

\

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use \AntonDPerera\PHPAttributesReader\AttributesReader;

$class = Abc::class;

$attributes_reader = AttributesReader($class);
```

2. If `$method_name` is not `null`, returns `true` or `false` based on availability of Method attributes for the given `$method_name`.

```php
public function getMethodAttributes(?string $method_name = null): array | MethodNotFoundException
```

1. If `$method_name` is `null`, returns all the Method attributes in the class.
