Non-persistent way to use arrays as *database*.

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

[](#installation)

Package is available on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/phpfluent/arraystorage), you can install it using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require phpfluent/arraystorage
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

The examples below are using the following use statement at the beginning of the file:

```
use PHPFluent\ArrayStorage\Storage;
```

Creating and returning a collection
-----------------------------------

[](#creating-and-returning-a-collection)

```
$storage = new Storage();
$storage->users; // This is a collection
```

Inserting records to a collection
---------------------------------

[](#inserting-records-to-a-collection)

You can use a single array:

```
$storage = new Storage();
$storage->users->insert(['name' => 'Henrique Moody']);
```

But you also can use a Record object:

```
use PHPFluent\ArrayStorage\Record;

$storage = new Storage();
$record = new Record();
$record->name = 'Henrique Moody';

$storage->users->insert($record);
```

You can create a Record object from Storage object:

```
$storage = new Storage();

$record = $storage->users->record(); // You also can provide default data, like an array or stdClass
$record->name = 'Henrique Moody';

$storage->users->insert($record);
```

An important point to note is that, after you insert the record to the collection object it gives to the record an unique (incremental integer) `id` property.

Removing records from a collection
----------------------------------

[](#removing-records-from-a-collection)

```
$storage = new Storage();
$storage->users->delete(['name' => 'Henrique Moody']);
```

Removing all records from a collection
--------------------------------------

[](#removing-all-records-from-a-collection)

```
$storage = new Storage();
$storage->users->delete();
```

Finding multiple records into a collection
------------------------------------------

[](#finding-multiple-records-into-a-collection)

```
$storage->users->findAll(['status !=' => false]); // Return an Collection object with the partial result (if any)
```

Finding single record into a collection
---------------------------------------

[](#finding-single-record-into-a-collection)

```
$storage->users->find(['priority >=' => 4]); // Return an Record object with the first matched result (if any) or NULL
```

Using Criteria object
---------------------

[](#using-criteria-object)

```
$criteria = $storage->users->criteria();
$criteria->foo->equalTo(2)
         ->bar->in([1, 2, 3])
         ->baz->regex('/^[0-9]{3}$/')
         ->qux->like('This _s spart%')
         ->quux->iLike('tHiS _S sPaRt%')
         ->corge->between(array(1, 42))
         ->grault->lessThan(1000)
         ->garply->greaterThan(0)
         ->waldo->notEqualTo(false)
         ->fred->greaterThanOrEqualTo(13);

$storage->users->find($criteria);
```

Transforming data into other formats
------------------------------------

[](#transforming-data-into-other-formats)

Sometimes you want to convert data into other formats, for that cases we have the *converters*.

The converters accept any object that implements [Traversable](http://php.net/traversable)interface and since `Record`, `Collection` and `Storage` classes implements this interface you are able to convert any of them into other formats.

For the examples below we assume you have the follow `use` statements:

```
use PHPFluent\ArrayStorage\Converter;
```

### Arr

[](#arr)

Converts data into an array.

```
$converter = new Converter\Arr();
$converter->convert($storage->collectionName); // Returns an array with the records as array too
```

If you do not want to convert the children of the object (values that also implement [Traversable](http://php.net/traversable) interface) you just have to define a flag on the constructor of this converter, like:

```
$converter = new Converter\Arr(false);
$converter->convert($storage->collectionName); // Returns an array of Record objects
```

### Json

[](#json)

Converts data into JSON format.

```
$converter = new Converter\Json();
$converter->convert($storage->collectionName); // Returns an string with the JSON
```

You also can define [json\_encode()](http://php.net/json_encode) options on the constructor of this converter, like:

```
$converter = new Converter\Json(JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
$converter->convert($storage->collectionName); // Returns the JSON but encodes numeric strings as numbers
```

We use `JSON_PRETTY_PRINT` as default option.

### Xml

[](#xml)

Converts data into XML format.

```
$converter = new Converter\Xml();
$converter->convert($storage->collectionName); // Returns an string with the XML
```
