Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Shaper provides an interface and abstract classes which can be extended to create array or collection shaper classes. These classes can then be reused to shape the same sort of iterable, eg when preparing for serialization.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Via Composer:

```
composer require aviator/shaper

```

### Testing

[](#testing)

Via Composer:

```
composer test

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Extend either the collection or array shaper and define a public method called `shaper()`:

```
public function shaper ($item)
{
    return [
        'mutated_name' => ucfirst($item['name')
    ];
}
```

This callback can do whatever you like. Once you've defined your class, you can instantiate it and call `shape()`, which maps over your iterable and applies the callback:

```
$shaper = new MyArrayShaper($array);
$shaped = $shaper->shape();
```

You can also set the iterable after instantiation:

```
$shaper = new MyArrayShaper();

// Returns null
$shaper->get();

$shaper->set($yourArray);

// Returns the array
$shaper->get();
```
