This is a **standalone library**, not a Symfony bundle. It does not require any framework configuration. Helpers that depend on the current time, timezone, or other side-effects either accept those as explicit method parameters (for static helpers) or are injected via constructor (for service helpers). --- πŸš€ Key Features -------------- [](#-key-features) - **Modern PHP**: Strictly typed for PHP 8.5+. - **Zero Configuration**: Works out of the box in any project. - **Framework Agnostic**: Core logic is pure PHP, with optional integrations for Symfony components. - **Testable**: Design focuses on mockability and explicit state management. - **Developer Experience**: Consistent naming, clean API, and comprehensive documentation. πŸ“¦ Installation -------------- [](#-installation) ``` composer require danilovl/helper-utils ``` πŸ› οΈ Included Helpers ------------------- [](#️-included-helpers) ### Static Helpers [](#static-helpers) *All helper classes are `final` with private constructors.* GroupClassesDescription**Array**`ArrayHelper`, `ArrayMapHelper`, `CollectionHelper`Operations with arrays, mapping, filtering, and grouping.**Color**`ColorHelper`Color manipulation and conversions (HEX, RGB).**Compare**`CompareHelper`, `VersionHelper`Value and semantic version comparison utilities.**Date**`DateHelper`, `DatePeriodHelper`, `BusinessDayHelper`Powerful date parsing, manipulation, and period calculations.**File**`FileHelper`, `PathHelper`Filesystem operations, path handling, and metadata.**Form**`FormValidationMessageHelper`Symfony Form error extraction and management.**Hash**`HashHelper`, `TokenHelper`Secure hash generation and token utilities.**Json**`JsonHelper`Safe JSON encoding and decoding.**Locale**`LocaleHelper`, `CountryHelper`Geographic and linguistic data, country codes.**Network**`IpHelper`, `UrlHelper`IP manipulation (anonymization, ranges) and URL handling.**Number**`NumberHelper`, `MoneyHelper`Formatting numbers, currency, and byte sizes.**Object**`CloneHelper`, `ObjectHelper`Deep cloning and dynamic property access.**Reflection**`ReflectionHelper`, `AttributeHelper`, `EnumHelper`Advanced reflection for classes, attributes, and Enums.**String**`StringHelper`, `HtmlHelper`, `TextHelper`String manipulation, slugging, masking, and HTML cleaning.**Validator**`ValidatorHelper`Helpers for Symfony validation component.**Misc**`RetryHelper`Miscellaneous utilities like retry logic.### Service Helpers [](#service-helpers) *DI-injectable, `final readonly` where stateless.* - **`ClockAwareDateHelper`**: Time-sensitive operations using PSR-20 Clock. - **`DoctrineHelper`**: Doctrine ORM metadata and entity manager shortcuts. - **`MemoryHelper`**: Real-time memory usage tracking and formatting. - **`RequestHelper`**: Convenient wrapper for Symfony's Request objects. - **`TimerHelper`**: Precise code execution timing and measurement. ### Enums [](#enums) - **`ByteUnit`**: Constants for data size units (B, KB, MB, etc.). - **`ComparisonOperator`**: Common comparison operators for flexible logic. - **`DateFormat`**: Standardized date and time format strings. --- πŸ’‘ Quick Examples ---------------- [](#-quick-examples) ### Static Helpers [](#static-helpers-1) ``` use Danilovl\HelperUtils\Helper\Date\DateHelper; use Danilovl\HelperUtils\Helper\String\StringHelper; use Danilovl\HelperUtils\Helper\Network\IpHelper; // Dates β€” explicit "now" for testability $age = DateHelper::calculateAge(new DateTimeImmutable('1990-04-25')); $past = DateHelper::isPast($someDate, $now); // Strings $slug = StringHelper::slugify('ΠŸΡ€ΠΈΠ²Π΅Ρ‚, ΠΌΠΈΡ€!'); // "privet-mir" $mask = StringHelper::maskEmail('john.doe@example.com'); // "j******e@example.com" // IP Utilities $ok = IpHelper::isIpInRange('192.168.1.5', '192.168.1.0/24'); $anon = IpHelper::anonymize('192.168.1.123'); // "192.168.1.0" ``` ### Services (Dependency Injection) [](#services-dependency-injection) ``` use Danilovl\HelperUtils\Service\RequestHelper; use Danilovl\HelperUtils\Service\ClockAwareDateHelper; public function __construct( private RequestHelper $requestHelper, private ClockAwareDateHelper $clock, ) {} $ip = $this->requestHelper->getClientIp(); $now = $this->clock->now(); // Easily mockable ``` --- πŸ§ͺ Quality Assurance ------------------- [](#-quality-assurance) We maintain high testing standards to ensure reliability. ``` composer tests ``` The package currently includes **397 unit tests** and **766 assertions**. ### Test Coverage [](#test-coverage) GroupStatusArray, Color, Compare, Date, File, Hash, Json, Locale, Network, Number, Object, Reflection, String, Validator, Miscβœ… FullService (Request, Clock, Doctrine, Memory, Timer)βœ… Full--- πŸ“œ Design Principles ------------------- [](#-design-principles) - **Immutability**: Preference for `\DateTimeImmutable`. - **Explicitness**: "Now"-dependent methods accept an explicit timestamp. - **Safety**: Methods follow the `doSomething` (throws) / `trySomething` (returns null) pattern. - **Non-Invasive**: Wraps powerful libraries (Symfony, Doctrine) rather than reinventing wheels. - **Finality**: Classes are `final` to prevent fragile inheritance. πŸ“„ License --------- [](#-license) The HelperUtils is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT). ### Health Score 36 β€” LowBetter than 79% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity0 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
