ArrayClass - Array as object for PHP

Lightweight php package to work with arrays like (but fitted to PHP) in JavaScript or C#, so you can for example, chain methods. Immutable-first. Collections-like.

Project was built having in mind, that this library has to:

• be lightweight
• be fast
• be full tested
• be strict typed for better security
• have documentation
• be like JavaScript/C# array object

Installation

Install the latest version with

$ composer require dragk/array-class

Basic Usage

<?php

use DragK\ArrayClass;

$array = new ArrayClass([1, 3, 2, 4]);
$result = $array
            ->sort()
            ->reverse()
            ->map(function($value){
                return $value**2;
            })
            ->filter(function($value) {
                return $value > 8 ;
            })
            ->reduce(function($result, $value) {
                return $result + $value;
            });

var_dump($result); // int(25)
echo $array[1]; // 3

Remember, you can always use function () use ($var1, $varN) to pass to function more variables, for example.:

$multiplier = 2;
$result = $array
            ->sort()
            ->reverse()
            ->map(function($value){
                return $value**2;
            })
            ->filter(function($value) {
                return $value > 8 ;
            })
            ->reduce(function($result, $value) use ($multiplier) {
                return ($result + $value) * $multiplier;
            });
echo $result; // 82
