About Arrayed

Simple PHP Array(ed) in object oriented way wrapping PHP Arrays in a consistent manner.

No advanced stuff, just wrap PHP array_* functions and a little more. Do it Like a PRO :ok:

Looking for PHP Array on Steroid? See: https://laravel.com/docs/collections

Quick Usage

arrayed(1, 2, 'ninja')
    ->filter(fn($val) => is_int($val)) // [1,2]
    ->map(fn($val) => $val + 1) // [2, 3]
    ->flip() // [0, 1]
    ->values() // [0, 1]
    ->sum(); // 1

Instead of:

$result = array_filter([1, 2, 'ninja'], fn($val) => is_int($val));
$result = array_map(fn($val) => $val + 1, $result);
$result = array_flip($result);
$result = array_values($result);
$result = array_sum($result);

PS: You can still use the old function() { return v; }, fn() is the new short arrow function in PHP 7.4+ See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arrow.php

Installation

composer require transprime-research/arrayed

Requirement

Minimum Requirement

• PHP 7.2 +

• Composer

• For using collect() method, requires illuminate\support >= 5.5

Additionally on Laravel App, if arrayed.php's config file doesn't get added automatically then run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=arrayed after installation.

Other Usages

Arrayed can be instantiated in 3 ways:

use Transprime\Arrayed\Arrayed;

// Nifty
arrayed(1, 2)->count();

// Easier
Arrayed::on(1, 2)->count();

// Normal with (new instance)
(new Arrayed(1,2))->count();

Initial values can be passed in two ways:

//Non associative
arrayed(1, 2);

//OR
arrayed([1, 2]);

// For associative array, only this way
arrayed(['a' => 1, 'b' => 2]); 

With Laravel & Laravel Collection

Laravel Collections

New: collect() method :tada:

arrayed(1,2)->collect(); // instance of Illuminate/Support/Collection
arrayed(1,2)->collect(3, 4); //merged with first one to give [1, 2, 3, 4] 

In the future, changing the default Collection class will possible by editing config/arrayed.php's collection_class value

Others:

collect(arrayed(1, 2, 3, 4));

// Or
new Collection(arrayed(1, 2, 3, 4));

// Or
Collection::make(arrayed(1, 2, 3, 4));

Laravel Response accepts Arrayed:

response()->json(arrayed(1, 2, 3)->flip());

Special methods

New :tada: tap() method allows other actions on the last resulting Arrayed instance without mutating the last Arrayed result:

arrayed(1, 2, 3)
    ->tap(function ($arrd) {
        logger('Array has '.$arrd->count());
    });

Others

If any operation normally returns an array, the return value will give Arrayed instance so that other methods can be chained on them otherwise a non-array value is returned as can be seen that sum() returns an integer in the example below:

Example:

arrayed(['a' => 1, 'b' => 2])
    ->values() // returns array, we can chain
    ->sum(); // returns an integer, we cannot chain

You can work on a result (if its an array'ed value) by passing a closure/callable function to result() method:

arrayed(['a' => 'name', 'b' => 'age'])
    ->values()
    ->result(fn($val) => implode(',', $val)); //'name,age'

//Or

arrayed(['a' => 'name', 'b' => 'age'])
    ->values()(fn($val) => implode(',', $val)); //'name,age'

Get the original array data with raw() method

arrayed([1, 2])->raw(); //[1,2]

Piped calls

As at now not all array_* functions have been implemented. pipe() method helps to call custom function on the array result.

Such as array_unique used in this way:

arrayed(['a' => 'www', 'b' => 'dot', 'c' => 'www'])
    ->pipe('array_unique') // data is piped forward to `array_unique`
    ->flip()
    ->values()(); //['a', 'b']

The pipe method makes use of Piper - A PHP functional pipe'ing See \Transprime\Arrayed\Tests\ArrayedTest

Proxied calls

array_* methods that are not yet implemented are automatically proxied to call an array method with the assumption that they accept initial array first. Example is this:

// ->combine() method is not yet implemented

arrayed(['a', 'b'])
    ->combine(['name', 'data'])
    ->result(); //['a' => 'name', 'b' => 'data']

Coming Soon

• Implement other array_* methods

• pipe into Collection with collectPipe

use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

arrayed(1,2,3)->collectPipe(function (Collection $collected) {
    return $collected->take(2)->all();
})->keys();

Api implementation to be decided
