Objection
---------

[](#objection)

Recursively wrap nested arrays in Laravel-style DTO objects and collections. Just pass in your array and **BLAMO**, you'll get a nested DTO objects and collections back.

### Why?

[](#why)

I like accessing data in my views using a fluent object syntax instead of array syntax.

##### How to use it:

[](#how-to-use-it)

```
  $data = objection(
    [
        [
            'test' => 'asdf',
            'test2' => [
                'sub' => 'asdasdffasdf',
                'sub2' => 'teasdasdffasdfst',
            ],
        ],
        [
            'test' => 'asdasdffasdf',
            'test2' => 'teasdasdffasdfst',
        ]
    ]
  )

  echo $data->first()->test2->sub2; //teasdasdffasdfst

```

##### Convert it back to an array:

[](#convert-it-back-to-an-array)

```
  $data->toArray();

```

##### What if I don't like using helper functions?

[](#what-if-i-dont-like-using-helper-functions)

```
  return \Incraigulous\Objection\ObjectionFactory::make($array);

```

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

[](#installation)

```
  composer require incraigulous/objection

```
