A lodash inspired library of helper functions for PHP.

Fits Into Your Existing Code
----------------------------

[](#fits-into-your-existing-code)

Phlash is meant to be a helpful addition to your code. Phlash adheres directly to your coding style with the help of PHP's dynamic `__call` method. Phlash automatically checks for a function signature matching the one you called for a myriad of styles. While Phlash is written in the `camelCased` style, it will work with any style.

For example:

```
$collection = phlash([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->dropRight(3);  // [1, 2, 3]
$collection = phlash([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->drop_right(3); // [1, 2, 3]
$collection = phlash([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->DropRight(3);  // [1, 2, 3]
```

Will all work!

Immutability
------------

[](#immutability)

Every Phlash collection method returns a new collection. No collection will ever be mutated.

Phlash takes advantage of PHP's copy-on-write principle and assigns the current value to a new variable before mutating it. Nice!

Check it out with [PsySh](https://psysh.org/):

```
$collection = phlash([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
// Phlash\Arr {#210}

$another = $collection->map(function ($value) {
    return $value * 2;
});
// Phlash\Arr {#217}
```

Object Oriented With Functional Support
---------------------------------------

[](#object-oriented-with-functional-support)

Phlash supports a variety of paradigms but most importantly the OO and functional paradigms. Methods can easily be chained from a new object. If you would rather call a function without having to deal with an object you can!

For example:

```
Phlash\Arr::from()->fill(null, 0, 3);
// [null, null, null]

phlash([])->fill(null, 0, 3);
// [null, null, null]

fill([], null, 0, 3);
// [null, null, null]
```

While under the hood Phlash uses objects, Phlash supports your favorite paradigm as best it can.

Higher Order Property Accessors
-------------------------------

[](#higher-order-property-accessors)

Phlash supports higher order property accessors for collections. For example:

```
$array = phlash([
    ['foo' => 1],
    ['foo' => 2],
    ['foo' => 3],
    ['foo' => 4],
    ['foo' => 5],
    ['foo' => 6],
]);

$array->foo;
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
```

And yes, this method is chainable to other methods of the same collection. This makes it so much easier to map collections of objects to properties without having to write a map function to handle it for you.
