It is what [Lo-Dash](http://lodash.com/) is for JavaScript. Visit for full documentation. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install `MD\Foundation` using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). ``` $ composer require michaldudek/foundation dev-master ``` Features / namespaces --------------------- [](#features--namespaces) `MD\Foundation` features are grouped into PHP namespaces. ### MD\\Foundation\\Utils [](#mdfoundationutils) Namespace `MD\Foundation\Utils` contains several static classes that contain common functions that can e.g. change your array filtering code into a one-liner. Classes are split into `StringUtils`, `ArrayUtils`, `ObjectUtils` and `FilesystemUtils`. ### MD\\Foundation\\Crypto [](#mdfoundationcrypto) Password hashing and cryptography is a solved problem, yet a lot of projects still reinvent the wheel with funky hashing algorithms. `MD\Foundation\Crypto` namespaces provides a standard and best-practice methods to deal with basic cryptography, especially if you are not running PHP 5.5 yet. ### MD\\Foundation\\Debug [](#mdfoundationdebug) Inside the `MD\Foundation\Debug` namespace you will find few classes that help debug and profile your code, especially fit for runtime. The `Debugger` can be especially useful for analyzing variables at runtime and the `Timer` will help you find bottlenecks in your code. ### MD\\Foundation\\Exceptions [](#mdfoundationexceptions) We all love to throw exceptions and while PHP provides a lot of exceptions to throw, `MD\Foundation\Exceptions` adds a few more (like `NotImplementedException` with automatic method name resolution) or extends existing ones for easier use (`InvalidArgumentException`). ### Other [](#other) There is also a couple of uncategorized classes which occassionally might be of use and which range from creating `MagicObject`s with automatic magic getters and setters (e.g. for very quick data storage) to ease working with other vendors like very common `Psr\Log`.
