Camelot Common
==============

[](#camelot-common)

This library provides utility functions to help simplify menial tasks.

The Camelot team believes the PHP error reporting system is a mistake. Many built-in functions utilize it, leading to inconsistent results and head scratching.

This library provides some wrappers around some of these functions. Our code should always throw exceptions instead of triggering errors/warnings/notices (excluding deprecation warnings).

Table of Contents:

- [Assert](#assert)
- [Deprecated](#deprecated)
- [Ini](#ini)
- [Json](#json)
- [Serialization](#serialization)
- [Str](#str)

---

`Assert`
--------

[](#assert)

Additional assertions built on `Webmozart\Assert`

### `isArrayAccessible`

[](#isarrayaccessible)

Throws `InvalidArgumentException` if `$value` is not an array or object implementing `ArrayAccess`.

```
isArrayAccessible($value, string $message = ''): void
```

### `isInstanceOfAny`

[](#isinstanceofany)

Throws `InvalidArgumentException` if `$value` is not an instance of one of the given classes/interfaces.

```
isInstanceOfAny($value, string[] $classes, string $message = ''): void
```

### `isIterable`

[](#isiterable)

Throws `InvalidArgumentException` if `$value` is not an *iterable*. Same as `isTraversable()`, just a better name.

```
isIterable($value, string $message = ''): void
```

`Deprecated`
------------

[](#deprecated)

Helper methods for triggering deprecation warnings.

### `warn`

[](#warn)

Shortcut for triggering a deprecation warning for something.

```
warn(string $subject, string|float $since = null, string $suggest = ''): void
```

Examples:

```
// Triggers warning: "Doing foo is deprecated."
Deprecated::warn('Doing foo');

// Triggers warning: "Doing foo is deprecated since 3.3 and will be removed in 4.0."
Deprecated::warn('Doing foo', 3.3);

// Triggers warning: "Doing foo is deprecated since 3.3 and will be removed in 4.0. Do bar instead."
Deprecated::warn('Doing foo', 3.3, 'Do bar instead');
```

### `method`

[](#method)

Shortcut for triggering a deprecation warning for a method.

```
method(string|float $since = null, string $suggest = '', string $method = null): void
```

`$suggest` can be a sentence describing what to use instead. Or it can be a method name or `class::method` which will be converted to a sentence.

`$method` defaults to the method/function it was called from.

- If called from constructor, warning message says the class is deprecated.
- If called from magic method, warning message says the method/property called with is deprecated.

Example:

```
class Foo
{
    public function world()
    {
        // Triggers warning: "Foo::world() is deprecated since 3.3 and will be removed in 4.0. Use hello() instead."
        Deprecated::method(3.3, 'hello');
    }
}
```

### `cls`

[](#cls)

Shortcut for triggering a deprecation warning for a class.

```
cls(string $class, string|float $since = null, string $suggest = null): void
```

`$suggest` can be a sentence describing what to use instead. Or it can be a class name which will be converted to a sentence.

Examples:

```
// Triggers warning: "Foo\Bar is deprecated."
Deprecated::cls('Foo\Bar');

// Triggers warning: "Foo\Bar is deprecated. Use Bar\Baz instead."
Deprecated::cls('Foo\Bar', null, 'Bar\Baz');
```

`Ini`
-----

[](#ini)

Handles setting and retrieving values from PHP's configuration.

### `has`

[](#has)

Checks whether the key exists.

```
has(string $key): bool
```

### `getStr`

[](#getstr)

Get a string value. The default is returned if the key does not exist or the value is empty.

```
getStr(string $key, string $default = null): ?string
```

### `getBool`

[](#getbool)

Get a boolean value. False is returned if the key does not exist or the value is empty.

```
getBool(string $key): bool
```

### `getNumeric`

[](#getnumeric)

Get a numeric value. The default is returned if the key does not exist or the value is empty.

```
getNumeric(string $key, int|float $default = null): int|float|null
```

### `getBytes`

[](#getbytes)

Get a memory size value, such as `memory_limit`, and convert it to an integer. The default is returned if the key does not exist or the value is empty.

```
getBytes(string $key, int $default = null): ?int
```

### `set`

[](#set)

Set a new value for the given key. Throws `RuntimeException` if the key does not exist, it is not editable, or something goes wrong.

```
set(string $key, ?scalar $value): void
```

`Json`
------

[](#json)

Handles JSON parsing/dumping with error handling.

### `parse`

[](#parse)

Parses JSON *string* to *array* or *scalar*. Throws `ParseException` if anything goes wrong.

```
parse(string $json, int $options = 0, int $depth = 512): string
```

We use [`seld/jsonlint`](https://github.com/Seldaek/jsonlint) to determine why the parsing failed and include it in the exception message.

### `dump`

[](#dump)

Dumps *mixed* to JSON *string*. Throws `DumpException` if anything goes wrong.

```
dump(mixed $data, int $options = JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE, int $depth = 512): string
```

If input contains invalid UTF-8 characters we try to convert these for you before failing.

### `test`

[](#test)

Returns whether the string is valid JSON.

```
test(string $json): bool
```

`Serialization`
---------------

[](#serialization)

Handles PHP serialization parsing/dumping with error handling.

### `parse`

[](#parse-1)

Parses PHP serialized *string*.

Throws `ParseException` if a serialized class cannot be found or anything else goes wrong.

```
parse(string $value, array $options = []): mixed
```

Note: `$options` parameter is ignored on PHP 5.

See [`unserialize()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php) for details.

### `dump`

[](#dump-1)

Dumps anything to a PHP serialized *string*.

Throws `DumpException` if the input is not serializable or anything else goes wrong.

```
dump(mixed $value): string
```

`Str`
-----

[](#str)

### `replaceFirst`

[](#replacefirst)

replaceFirst(string $subject, string $search, string $replace, bool $caseSensitive = true): string
```

### `replaceLast`

[](#replacelast)

Replaces the last occurrence of the $search text on the $subject.

```
replaceLast(string $subject, string $search, string $replace, bool $caseSensitive = true): string
```

### `removeFirst`

[](#removefirst)

Removes the first occurrence of the $search text on the $subject.

```
removeFirst(string $subject, string $search, bool $caseSensitive = true): string
```

### `removeLast`

Removes the last occurrence of the $search text on the $subject.

```
removeLast(string $subject, string $search, bool $caseSensitive = true): string
```

### `splitFirst`

```
splitFirst(string $subject, string $delimiter): string
```

```
endsWith(string $subject, string $search, bool $caseSensitive = true): bool
```

### `className`

```
className(string|object $class): string
```

### `humanize`
