Install
-------

[](#install)

`composer install eden/array`

====

Enable Eden
-----------

[](#enable-eden)

The following documentation uses `eden()` in its example reference. Enabling this function requires an extra step as descirbed in this section which is not required if you access this package using the following.

```
Eden_Array_Index::i();

```

When using composer, there is not an easy way to access functions from packages. As a workaround, adding this constant in your code will allow `eden()` to be available after.

```
Eden::DECORATOR;

```

For example:

```
Eden::DECORATOR;

eden()->inspect('Hello World');

```

====

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Chainable array methods. When using multiple PHP array functions in one line, it makes code harder to read. This is because a programmer needs to be trained to read code from inner to outer, rather than traditionally left to right (unless you live in Japan). Eden's data typing are objects that correct this readability problem.

```
array_keys(array_reverse(array_flip(array(4, 5, 6)))); // [6, 5, 4]

```

The above demonstrates that we must read this as `array_flip()`, then `array_reverse()`, followed by `array_keys()` which is inner function first going outwards. The example below shows how using types makes this line easier to read.

```
echo eden('array')->set(4, 5, 6)->flip()->reverse()->keys(); //--> [6, 5, 4]

```

When echoed the array object will automatically convert to a readable json. Eden covers most of the array functions provided by PHP. Below is a list of string methods you can linearly perform.

```
echo eden('array')
	->set(4, 5, 6)
	->flip()
	->reverse()
	->keys(); //--> [6, 5, 4]

```

Expressed vertically as above shows something more pleasing to a developer. Array objects, for the most part, can also be treated as regular arrays as implied below.

```
//instantiate
$array = eden('array')->set(1, 2, 3);

//push in a new value
$array[] = 4;

echo $array[1];  //--> 2

foreach($array as $key => $value) {} //loop through array

```
