What The YAML?

Do you write YAML? Do you write it in PHP? Do you have a strong sense of self-loathing? Of course you do, you're writing PHP and YAML! Then you should absolutely, 100%, for-realsies-in-production, use this library to generate your YAML!¹ What kind of rudimentary, half-assed feature set do you get by installing this library?

Functionality through the repulsive asgrim/side-effect framework!
Exactly 1 unit test ensuring that at least one of my half-baked assumptions holds true!
Writing YAML in 100% pure, __toString implementations!
Guaranteed to make you go "What the f..." and question the sanity of the author!

How do you use this?

Preferably, you don't. You reject writing YAML on principle and a solemn vow that you'd never bring another artifact of evil into this world again. But, sometimes ya gotta get paid! The following code...

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$yaml = (string) new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlMap('dear-god', new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlMap(
    'why', new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlList(
        new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlLine('trollz'),
        new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlLine('lulz'),
        new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlLine('self-loathing'),
        new \Cspray\WhatTheYaml\YamlLine('and the friends we make along the way')
    )
));

Results in the following YAML...

dear-god:
  why:
    - 'trollz'
    - 'lulz'
    - 'self-loathing'
    - 'and the friends we make along the way'

Installation

Composer, duh.

composer require cspray/what-the-yaml

¹ In all seriousness, do not actually use this in production. I mean, damn, what's wrong with you? Using this in production, yeesh.
