Phower Arrayss
==============

[](#phower-arrayss)

Array based classes to handle collections, stacks and queues in PHP.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Phower Arrays requires:

- [PHP 5.6](http://php.net/releases/5_6_0.php) or above; version [7.0](http://php.net/releases/7_0_0.php) is recommended

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

Add Phower Arrays to any PHP project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```

```

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Collections

[](#collections)

Collections is the base concept of this package. Each collection wraps an array into a class with methods to handle its elements in a normalized way. Both concrete and abstract classes are provided.

```
// index.php
require('path/to/vendor/autoload.php');

use Phower\Arrays\Collection;

$collection = new Collection();
```

Please review [Collection Interface](src/CollectionInterface.php) for more details on available methods.

### Stacks

[](#stacks)

Stacks are collections where elements are always added to the top of the internal array. This strategy allows a LIFO (Last In-First Out) handling.

```
use Phower\Arrays\Stack;

$stack = new Stack();
```

Please review [Stack Interface](src/StackInterface.php) for more details on available methods.

Queues
------

[](#queues)

Queues are collections with the ability to enqueue/dequeue elements. While enqueue is similiar to add method, dequeue always remove the returned element from the queue.

```
use Phower\Arrays\Queue;

$queue = new Queue();
```

Please review [Queue Interface](src/QueueInterface.php) for more details on available methods.
