### Static arrays

[](#static-arrays)

Export arrays of data for reuse as config files or static loadable datastructures.

```
use DecodeLabs\Hatch;

$code = Hatch::exportStaticArray([
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'baz' => 'qux',
    'quux' => [
        'corge' => 'grault',
        'garply' => 12,
        'fred' => [
            'plugh' => 'xyzzy',
            'thud' => [1, 2, 3]
        ]
    ]
]);

echo $code;
```

This will output:

```
[
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'baz' => 'qux',
    'quux' => [
        'corge' => 'grault',
        'garply' => 12,
        'fred' => [
            'plugh' => 'xyzzy',
