The YAML utility is for reading (parsing) and writing YAML files.

> The YAML utility does not cover the complete specification, it is designed to read and write configuration files, and data from the database so that it can be read and edited in user friendly way.

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

[](#installation)

To install this package

```
$ composer require originphp/yaml

```

Create a YAML string
--------------------

[](#create-a-yaml-string)

```
use Origin\Yaml\Yaml;
$employees = [
    ['name'=>'Jim','skills'=>['php','mysql','puppeteer']],
    ['name'=>'Amy','skills'=>['ruby','ruby on rails']],
];
$yaml = Yaml::fromArray($employees );
```

That will return the following

```
- name: Jim
  skills:
    - php
    - mysql
    - puppeteer
- name: Amy
  skills:
    - ruby
    - ruby on rails
```

Here is an example converting a record using the Bookmark model

```
 $bookmark = $this->Bookmark->get(1,[
            'associated'=>[
                'User','Tag'
                ]
            ]);
$string = Yaml::fromArray($bookmark->toArray());
```

This will create the following YAML string:

```
