[](#quick-start)

```
use ArrayPress\ObjectUtils\Obj;

// Track what changed
$changes = Obj::changes( $user, $_POST );

// Apply updates
Obj::apply( $user, $changes );

// Get nested values
$city = Obj::get( $user, 'address.city', 'Unknown' );

// Extract subset
$public = Obj::pick( $user, [ 'name', 'email' ] );

// Convert to array

```

Methods

[](#methods)

### changes()

[](#changes)

Compare an object with new data and get what changed:

```
$user    = (object) [ 'name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com' ];
$changes = Obj::changes( $user, [ 'name' => 'John', 'email' => 'new@example.com' ] );
// Returns: ['email' => 'new@example.com']
```

### apply()

[](#apply)

Apply changes to an object (only updates existing properties):

```
$count = Obj::apply( $user, [ 'name' => 'Jane', 'email' => 'jane@example.com' ] );
// Returns: 2 (number of properties updated)
```

### get()

[](#get)

Get nested values using dot notation:

```
$data = (object) [ 'user' => (object) [ 'address' => [ 'city' => 'NYC' ] ] ];
$city = Obj::get( $data, 'user.address.city' );
// Returns: 'NYC'
```

### pick()

[](#pick)

Extract specific properties:

```
$user   = (object) [ 'id' => 1, 'name' => 'John', 'password' => 'secret' ];
$public = Obj::pick( $user, [ 'id', 'name' ] );
// Returns: (object) ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John']
```

### to\_array()

[](#to_array)

Convert object to array:

```
$array = Obj::to_array( $user );        // Public properties only
