### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require alecrabbit/php-accessories
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

for details see [examples](https://github.com/alecrabbit/php-accessories/tree/master/examples)

### Features

[](#features)

##### Caller::class

[](#callerclass)

Gets a caller `Class::method()` or `function()` or `Undefined`

```
$caller = Caller::get() // object(AlecRabbit\Accessories\Caller\CallerData)
```

> Note: `CallerData::class` can be casted to string

```
if($wrongArguments) {
 throw new \RuntimeException(Caller::get() . ' provided wrong arguments');
}
```

You can set your custom formatter for string casting:

```
$formatter = new CustomFormatter($options);
Caller::setFormatter($formatter);
```

> Note: `CustomFormatter::class` should implement `CallerDataFormatterInterface`

##### Circular::class

[](#circularclass)

Helper class to get values in a circle

```
$c = new Circular([1, 2, 3]);
$value = $c(); // int(1) invoke
$value = $c->value(); // int(2) get value by method
...
$c(); // int(3)
...
$c(); // int(1)
```

> Note: `Circular::__construct` can accept `array`, `Rewindable` or callable which returns `\Generator`

##### Rewindable::class

[](#rewindableclass)

Rewindable generator helper class

```
$r = new Rewindable($genFunc); // $genFunc is a callable and returns \Generator
iterator_to_array($r);
$r->rewind();
```

##### G::class

[](#gclass)

Contains generator functions

```
$r = G::range(1, 3);  // object(Generator)
```

##### R::class

[](#rclass)

Contains rewindable generator functions

```
$r = R::range(1, 3); // object(AlecRabbit\Accessories\Rewindable)
iterator_to_array($r);
$r->rewind();
```

##### Pretty::class

[](#prettyclass)

String formatter, e.g. percent, bytes and time(seconds, microseconds, nanoseconds)

```
Pretty::bytes(10584760, 'mb'); // string(7) "10.09MB"
Pretty::time(0.214); // string(5) "214ms"
Pretty::percent(0.214);  // string(6) "21.40%"

Pretty::seconds(0.214); // string(5) "214ms"

Pretty::milliseconds(214); // string(5) "214ms"

Pretty::useconds(3212); // string(5) "3.2ms"
Pretty::useconds(12); // string(5) "12μs"
// alias for useconds
Pretty::microseconds(12); // string(5) "12μs"

Pretty::nanoseconds(10485); // string(7) "10.5μs"
Pretty::nanoseconds(105); // string(7) "105ns"
```

> Note: time formatting methods of `Pretty::class` named by units they are accepting

##### MemoryUsage::class

[](#memoryusageclass)

Helper class to get memory usage

```
$report = MemoryUsage::reportStatic('mb');
echo $report . PHP_EOL;
// Memory: 0.75MB(32.73MB) Real: 2.00MB(34.00MB)
```

You can set your custom formatter for string casting:

```
$formatter = new CustomFormatter($options);
MemoryUsage::setFormatter($formatter);
```

> Note: `CustomFormatter::class` should implement `MemoryUsageReportFormatterInterface`

> Note: Parameter `$options` has no effect on `MemoryUsageReportFormatter`
