A collection of high-performance, strictly typed helper classes for arrays and strings in modern PHP applications.

This library provides powerful tools for complex data transformations, including multi-level grouping, recursive filtering, and advanced string manipulation.

🚀 Key Features
--------------

[](#-key-features)

- **Strict Typing & Closures:** Uses `Closure` for callbacks to ensure type safety and avoid ambiguity.
- **Advanced Array Grouping:** Group and index data on multiple levels with projection support.
- **Recursive Filtering:** Cleanly filter nested arrays while preserving or resetting keys.
- **Human-Readable Data:** Convert bytes to strings and complex values to readable debug formats.
- **Multilingual Support:** Russian-to-English transliteration and keyboard layout correction.
- **Modern PHP:** Specifically built for PHP 8.4+ taking advantage of the latest language features.

🛠️ Installation
---------------

[](#️-installation)

The project requires PHP 8.4 or higher.

Install the library via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require andrew-gos/helpers
```

🏁 Quick Start
-------------

[](#-quick-start)

### Array Helpers (`HArray`)

[](#array-helpers-harray)

#### Example 1: Multi-level Grouping and Indexing

[](#example-1-multi-level-grouping-and-indexing)

```
use AndrewGos\Helpers\HArray;

$data = [
    ['city' => 'New York', 'role' => 'admin', 'name' => 'Alice'],
    ['city' => 'New York', 'role' => 'user', 'name' => 'Bob'],
    ['city' => 'London', 'role' => 'admin', 'name' => 'Charlie'],
];

// Group by city, then by role, and index elements by name
$result = HArray::groupExtended(
    array: $data,
    key: ['city', 'role'],
    index: 'name'
);

/* Output:
[
    'New York' => [
        'admin' => ['Alice' => [...]],
        'user'  => ['Bob' => [...]],
    ],
    'London' => [
        'admin' => ['Charlie' => [...]],
    ]
]
*/
```

#### Example 2: Recursive Filtering

[](#example-2-recursive-filtering)

```
use AndrewGos\Helpers\HArray;

$input = [1, [2, null, [3]], null];

// Recursively remove null values and "prune" empty branches
$filtered = HArray::filterRecursive($input, fn($v) => $v !== null);
// Output: [1, [2, [3]]]
```

### String Helpers (`HString`)

[](#string-helpers-hstring)

#### Example 3: Transliteration and Layout Correction

[](#example-3-transliteration-and-layout-correction)

```
use AndrewGos\Helpers\HString;

echo HString::rusToEng('Привет мир'); // Output: Privet mir
echo HString::changeEngKeyboardLayoutToRus('ghbdtn'); // Output: привет
```

#### Example 4: Value Stringification (for logging/debugging)

[](#example-4-value-stringification-for-loggingdebugging)

```
use AndrewGos\Helpers\HString;

$data = ['id' => 1, 'active' => true, 'tags' => ['php', '8.4']];
echo HString::stringifyValue($data);
// Output: [id => 1, active => true, tags => [0 => "php", 1 => "8.4"]]
```

🧩 Extension Suggestions
-----------------------

[](#-extension-suggestions)

- **ext-intl**: Highly recommended for `HString::asBytes()`. It enables the ICU MessageFormatter for localized digital units (e.g., "1.25 MB" vs "1,25 МБ").

🧪 Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

To run the test suite, ensure development dependencies are installed:

```
composer install
```

Then run PHPUnit:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
```
