PHP Keys Mover
==============

[](#php-keys-mover)

Purpose
-------

[](#purpose)

This class is intended to change keys order in associative arrays with one line of code.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require germanovs/php-keys-mover

```

Properties
----------

[](#properties)

`string $message`Contains information about last operation. You can read this to find what excatly went wrong, if any methods returned false.

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

`move(array &$array, string|integer $key, string|integer $where): bool`

- Moves `$key` in `$where` position inside `$array`.
- `$key` and `$where` and can be string as key or integer as index.
- Modifies source array directly.
- Returns `true` on success and `false` on failure.

#### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$keyMover = new KeysMover\KeysMover();
$array = [
    'one' => 1,
    'two' => 2,
    'three' => 3
];
```

```
$keyMover->move($array, 'one', 'two');
/*
result:
[
    'two' => 2,
    'one' => 1,
    'three' => 3
]
*/
```

```
$keyMover->move($array, 'two', 2);
/*
result:
[
    'one' => 1,
    'three' => 3,
    'two' => 2
]
*/
```

Future plans
------------

[](#future-plans)

These methods will be available in future versions

- `shift(array &$array, string|integer $key, integer $shift): bool`Moves `$key` by `$shift` positions Ex: `$keysMover->shift($array, 'three', -2);`
- `moveAfter(array &$array, string|integer $key, string|integer $target): bool`Puts `$key` after `$target`Ex: `$keysMover->moveAfter($array, 'three', 'one');`
- `moveBefore(array &$array, string|integer $key, string|integer $target): bool`Puts `$key` before `$target`Ex: `$keysMover->moveAfter($array, 'three', 'two');`
- `rearrange(array &$array, array $order): bool`Rearranges keys in `$array`, using `$order` as pattern Ex: `$keysMover->rearrange($array, ['two', 'three', 'one']);`

Methods `move()` and `shift()` will get `bool $swap = false` argument. This will alow to move replaced key to initial position of moved key.
