⚡️ A flexible, simple & yet powerful array manipulation helper for PHP. It gives you the magic of method chaining and it's easier and shorter to be included in views. It Supports most of [PHP built-in array functions](http://php.net/manual/en/book.array.php)

```
arr([' ', 'hi ', null, '  welcome'])->map('trim')->filter()->get()
>> ['hi', 'welcome']
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Support All PHP array functions.
- Short methods names, no need to write "array\_" like array\_map can be only map(..)
- Array items can be retrireve or updated as properties or keys \[->key or \[key\] \]
- Support powefull conditional methods. if, else, if{AnyMethod}, endif.
- Support camelCase and snake-case methods name.
- Useful new methods like equal, exists .. etc

Install/Use
-----------

[](#installuse)

You can install the package via composer locally in your project folder:

```
$ composer require awssat/array-helper
```

After installing it, just start using the helper `arr([...])` or `ArrayHelper::make([...])`

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Use any array function, no need for "array\_", if you like it you can use it as in array\_filter or arrayFilter .. all will work.

```
$x = arr(['', 'item', null, 'item2'])->filter()->get()
>> ['item', 'item2']
```

You can use conditions, if(function() {...}), if{AnyMethod}, else(), endif()

```
$x = arr(['item', 'item2', null])
    ->ifContains(null)
        ->filter()
    ->endif()
    ->get()
```

you may also use useful method with `if` like `ifEmpty`, `ifKeyExists` or `ifEqual` etc.

get() will return all items, while get(index) return a item in the array. all() is alias for get(all, true) which will ignore conditions and force return of items anyway.

The example above can be shortened using all() like this:

```
$x = arr(['item', 'item2', null])
    ->ifContains(null)
        ->filter()
    ->all()
```

You can use do(callback) to run a callback on the array.

```
$x = arr(['item ', 'item2'])
    ->do(function() {
        return $this->map('trim');
    })
    ->all()
```

PHP built-in array\_map, array\_walk, array\_filter, and array\_reduce are the best!

array\_map to loop through all items and change them.

```
$array->map(function($item) {
         return 'Hello: '. strip_tags($item) . ' !';
    });
```

or for simple functions use, `$array->map('trim')`

array\_walk can be used for looping without changing items

```
$array->walk(function($item, $key) {
            print "$key: $item\n";
    });
```

or if you want to change the values

```
$array->walk(function(&$item, $key) {
            $item = $item * 2;
        });
```

array\_filter is great for filtering an array

```
$array->filter(function($item) {
            return $item > 5;
        });
```

or just `$array->filter()` to remove any value equal to FALSE.
