array\_find
===========

[](#array_find)

> A PHP function that find element in an array by a callback.

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

[](#installation)

To get the latest version of `array_find`, simply require the project using Composer:

```
$ composer require kamyshev/array_find
```

If you do not want to use Composer, you can just `require` the `src/array_find.php` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use `array_find`, simply pass an array and callback:

```
$records = [
    [
        'state'  => 'IN',
        'city'   => 'Indianapolis',
        'object' => 'School bus',
    ],
    [
        'state'  => 'IN',
        'city'   => 'Indianapolis',
        'object' => 'Manhole',
    ],
    [
        'state'  => 'IN',
        'city'   => 'Plainfield',
        'object' => 'Basketball',
    ],
    [
        'state'  => 'CA',
        'city'   => 'San Diego',
        'object' => 'Light bulb',
    ],
    [
        'state'  => 'CA',
        'city'   => 'Mountain View',
        'object' => 'Space pen',
    ],
];

$grouped = array_find($records, function ($state) {
    return $state['city'] === 'San Diego';
});
```

Example output:

```
Array
(
    [state] => CA
    [city] => San Diego
    [object] => Light bulb
)

```

If the element was not found, `array_find` returns `null`.
