PhpHelpers
==========

[](#phphelpers)

PHP helper classes and quality-tooling scripts to use across multiple projects.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require jeroendn/php-helpers
```

Contents
--------

[](#contents)

### Classes

[](#classes)

ClassPurpose`Helper\ArrayHelper`Sort arrays of objects by one or more properties`Helper\Casing`Convert strings between snake\_case, camelCase and PascalCase`Helper\Debug`Dump variables (`raw`, `d`, `dd`)`Helper\Env`Load `.env` variables into the server environment`Wrapper\DateTime`DateTime wrapper that can freeze into an immutable and back```
use jeroendn\PhpHelpers\Helper\ArrayHelper;

$array = [
    (object) ['name' => 'John'],
    (object) ['name' => 'Hans'],
    (object) ['name' => 'Piet'],
];

ArrayHelper::sortObjectsByProperty($array, 'name');

echo $array[0]->name; // Hans
```

### Scripts

[](#scripts)

#### Code quality assurance

[](#code-quality-assurance)

This package ships a whole-project quality gate to run before opening a PR. Composer links it into `vendor/bin` of every project requiring this package:

```
vendor/bin/code-quality-assurance.sh
```

It runs composer normalize, composer validate, rector, php-cs-fixer, phpstan, phpunit and npm build — in that order, aborting on the first failure. The tool steps run through the project's composer script definitions (`rector-fix`, `cs-fix`, `phpstan`, `phpunit`), so a step only runs when the project defines the matching script — and that definition controls the exact command, config and flags. The same script therefore serves projects with different setups.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

Day-to-day commands run inside the `php_phphelpers` container through the `./develop` wrapper (`develop.cmd` makes the same commands work from PowerShell/cmd on Windows):

```
./develop up -d --build  # build + start the container
./develop checkout       # composer install
./develop cqa            # run the code quality assurance gate
./develop help           # list all commands
```

### Run tests

[](#run-tests)

```
./develop composer phpunit
```
