Installation ------------ [](#installation) (You'll need to add installation instructions here, typically using Composer) ``` composer require jtc-solutions/helpers ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This library provides several static helper classes under the JtcSolutions\\Helpers\\Helper namespace. ### ArrayUtils [](#arrayutils) ``` use JtcSolutions\Helpers\Helper\ArrayUtils; // Check if an array contains duplicate values $hasDuplicates = ArrayUtils::containsDuplicates([1, 2, 3, 2, 5]); // true $noDuplicates = ArrayUtils::containsDuplicates(['a', 'b', 'c']); // false ``` ### BatchUpdater [](#batchupdater) A helper class to determine which items need to be created, updated, or removed when comparing a list of existing entities with a list of input data transfer objects (DTOs) or similar structures. Useful for synchronizing data, especially collections within an aggregate root in DDD. ``` use JtcSolutions\Helpers\Helper\BatchUpdater; // Assume $existingEntities is an array of your entity objects (e.g., from DB) // Assume $inputDtos is an array of input data objects (e.g., from request) // Example Entity & Input DTO (replace with your actual classes) class MyEntity { public function __construct(public string $id, public string $data) {} } class MyInput { public function __construct(public ?string $id, public string $data) {} } $existingEntities = [ new MyEntity('id1', 'old data 1'), new MyEntity('id2', 'old data 2'), // This one will be removed new MyEntity('id3', 'old data 3'), // This one will be updated ]; $inputDtos = [ new MyInput('id1', 'old data 1'), // Unchanged (will be in update list) new MyInput('id3', 'new data 3'), // Needs update new MyInput(null, 'new data 4'), // Needs creation ]; $entityIdGetter = fn(MyEntity $entity): string => $entity->id; $inputIdGetter = fn(MyInput $input): ?string => $input->id; $updater = new BatchUpdater($existingEntities, $entityIdGetter, $inputDtos, $inputIdGetter); $idsToRemove = $updater->getIdsToRemove(); // ['id2'] $idsToUpdate = $updater->getIdsToBeUpdated(); // ['id1', 'id3'] $idsToCreate = $updater->getIdsToBeCreated(); // [generated_uuid_for_new_data_4] // Access specific input/entity data using the ID $inputForUpdate = $updater->getInput('id3'); // MyInput object with 'new data 3' $entityForUpdate = $updater->getEntity('id3'); // MyEntity object with 'old data 3' $inputForCreate = $updater->getInput($idsToCreate[0]); // MyInput object with 'new data 4' // You can now loop through these IDs to perform persistence operations. ``` ### ByteHelper [](#bytehelper) ``` use JtcSolutions\Helpers\Helper\ByteHelper; echo ByteHelper::formatBytes(1024); // 1 KB echo ByteHelper::formatBytes(1500000); // 1.43 MB echo ByteHelper::formatBytes(0); // 0 B ``` ### FQCNHelper [](#fqcnhelper) Utilities for working with Fully Qualified Class Names (FQCNs), namespaces, and file paths. Assumes PSR-4 structure for conversions. ``` use JtcSolutions\Helpers\Helper\FQCNHelper; $fqcn = "App\Domain\Entity\User"; // Extract 'domain' (2nd segment) and 'entity' (last segment) $parts = FQCNHelper::extractDomainAndEntity($fqcn); // $parts = ['domain' => 'Domain', 'entity' => 'User'] // Get short class name $shortName = FQCNHelper::transformFQCNToShortClassName($fqcn); // "User" $lowerShortName = FQCNHelper::transformFQCNToShortClassName($fqcn, true); // "user" // Convert namespace to path $path = FQCNHelper::convertNamespaceToFilepath($fqcn, "App", "src"); // $path = "src/Domain/Entity/User" (using / as separator) // Convert path to namespace $namespace = FQCNHelper::convertPathToNamespace("src/Service/AuthService", "App", "src"); // $namespace = "App\Service\AuthService" // Extract namespace part from FQCN $nsOnly = FQCNHelper::extractNamespaceFromFQCN($fqcn); // $nsOnly = "App\Domain\Entity" ``` ### StringUtils [](#stringutils) ``` use JtcSolutions\Helpers\Helper\StringUtils; // Case conversions echo StringUtils::toKebabCase("helloWorldExample"); // hello-world-example echo StringUtils::toSnakeCase("myVariableName"); // my_variable_name // Lowercase / Sanitization echo StringUtils::sanitizeLowercase(" Some String "); // some string echo StringUtils::toLowercase("UPPERCASE"); // uppercase echo StringUtils::firstToLowercase("HelloWorld"); // helloWorld // Random string generation $random = StringUtils::generateUrlFriendlyString(10); // e.g., "a3b7x9p2q1" ``` ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 75% of packages Maintenance47 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity43 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~5 days Total 2 Last Release 399d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/1b321740527037d9566e21683ab4b0a572d7b5b35a3a6e78fbfe9e1819cb047a?d=identicon)[davidjungman](/maintainers/davidjungman) --- Top Contributors [![davidjungman](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/22246230?v=4)](https://github.com/davidjungman "davidjungman (10 commits)") ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit Static AnalysisPHPStan Code StyleECS Type Coverage Yes ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/jtc-solutions-helpers/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/jtc-solutions-helpers/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/jtc-solutions-helpers) ``` ### Alternatives [laravel/framework The Laravel Framework. 34.7k509.9M17.0k](/packages/laravel-framework)[laravel/horizon Dashboard and code-driven configuration for Laravel queues. 4.1k84.2M225](/packages/laravel-horizon)[sylius/sylius E-Commerce platform for PHP, based on Symfony framework. 8.4k5.6M651](/packages/sylius-sylius)[stancl/tenancy Automatic multi-tenancy for your Laravel application. 4.3k6.6M40](/packages/stancl-tenancy)[knuckleswtf/scribe Generate API documentation for humans from your Laravel codebase.✍ 2.3k12.2M45](/packages/knuckleswtf-scribe)[google/cloud Google Cloud Client Library 1.2k16.2M53](/packages/google-cloud) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
