This package provides 2 classes:
- Arr class is built on top of the PHP array functions.
- Table class allow you to manage bidimensional associative array (like a table or tuple).
Arr exposes methods to create, manage, access the data structure of the array.
The interface (method names, method arguments) are pretty similar to the Javascript Array class.
I built this class because comparing method functions arrays of Javascript and PHP i think (my personal thought) that the JS one is smoother and has a good developer experience (but, again, it's a personal opinion).
The Arr class provides some methods:
- make() create array;
- fromFunction(): create Arr from a function;
- fromValue(): create Arr from a value;
- length(): length/size of the array;
- arr(): returns data with the type PHP array
- get(): get the element by index
- Iterator methods: current(), next(), prev(), key(), valid(), rewind()
- forEach(): execute a function for each element;
- push(): add new element (at the end);
- pop(): remove an element (at the end);
- unshift(): add new element at the start;
- shift(): remove an element from the start;
- append(): append arrays to the current one;
- concat(): return new array joining more arrays, Arr objects or scalar variables;
- join(): joins all elements into a string;
- slice(): returns a sub array;
- indexOf(): find the first occurrence;
- lastIndexOf(): find the last occurrence;
- every(): all elements match a fn();
- some(): at least one element matches a fn();
- filter(): filter elements by a fn();
- map(): apply a fn() for each element;
- flat(): flat an array of arrays;
- flatMap(): map() and flat();
- fill(): fill an array (or a piece of an array);
- reduce(): calculate a fn() with the array as input;
- reduceRight(): like reduce(), but parsing the array in reverse order;
- reverse(): reverse the array;
- sort(): sort the array;
- splice(): changes content of arr removing, replacing and adding elements;
- toString(): the string representing the array (same as join(','));
- isArray(): check if the input is an array.
Table class allows you to manage bi dimensional array, something like:
[
['product' => 'Desk', 'price' => 200, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Chair', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 300, 'active' => false],
['product' => 'Bookcase', 'price' => 150, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
]
Table class allows you to filter, select some fields, create calculated fields.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require hi-folks/array
Currently, this package is under development. It's not "production ready". It is to be considered "not production ready" until it is in version v0.0.x. When version 0.1.x will be released, it means that the package is considered stable.
To see some examples, I suggest you to take a look to examples/cheatsheet.php file,where you can see a lot of example and use cases.
To start quickly
// Load the vendor/autoload file
require("./vendor/autoload.php");
// import the Arr class:
use HiFolks\DataType\Arr;
// use static make method to create Arr object
$arr = Arr::make();
$arr->push('Hi');
$arr->push('Folks');
echo $arr->length();
// to access to the "native" PHP array:
print_r($arr->arr());
To create an array with random values:
require("./vendor/autoload.php");
use HiFolks\DataType\Arr;
$arr = Arr::fromFunction(fn () => random_int(0, 100), 500);
You can access to the elements like a native array, but you have also Arr methods:
require("./vendor/autoload.php");
use HiFolks\DataType\Arr;
$arr = Arr::make();
$arr[] = "First element";
$arr[] = "Second element";
$count = $arr->length();
// output: 2
$arr->reverse();
echo $arr[0];
// output: Second element
Starting from:
[
['product' => 'Desk', 'price' => 200, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Chair', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 300, 'active' => false],
['product' => 'Bookcase', 'price' => 150, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
]
I would like to filter the rows with price greater than 100, select only "product" and "price" fields, and for each rows create a new field named "new_filed" that is a calculated field (doubling the price):
$dataTable = [
['product' => 'Desk', 'price' => 200, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Chair', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 300, 'active' => false],
['product' => 'Bookcase', 'price' => 150, 'active' => true],
['product' => 'Door', 'price' => 100, 'active' => true],
];
$table = Table::make($dataTable);
$arr = $table
->select(['product' , 'price'])
->where('price', 100, ">")
->calc('new_field', fn ($item) => $item['price'] * 2)
->arr();
The result is
array (
0 =>
array (
'product' => 'Desk',
'price' => 200,
'new_field' => 400,
),
2 =>
array (
'product' => 'Door',
'price' => 300,
'new_field' => 600,
),
3 =>
array (
'product' => 'Bookcase',
'price' => 150,
'new_field' => 300,
),
)
