DotArray
========

[](#dotarray)

Handle data-arrays and key/value pairs in a fluent way by enabling dot-notation.

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

[](#installation)

Available through PHP composer

```
composer require rasmuscnielsen/dotarray

```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Instantiate DotArray on a source

```
$source = array();
$dotArray = DotArray::tap($source);

```

Now start interacting with your source through DotArray

```
$cars = $dotArray->open('garage.cars');

$cars->put('mercedes', [
  'model' => 'S-class',
  'origin' => 'Germany',
  'wheelsize' => '22 inches'
]);
$cars->add('mercedes', [
    'color' => 'blue'
]);

// you could even...
$dotArray->put('garage.cars.mercedes.color', 'blueish');

// or to delete
$cars->open('mercedes')->delete('origin');

```

Finally you can read out the values in a variety of ways

```
echo $dotArray->get('garage.cars.mercedes.model'); // S-class
echo $dotArray->get('garage.cars.merecedes.origin'); // NULL
echo $dotArray->get('garage.cars.mercedes.maxspeed', '250km/t'); // 250km/t

// or search out your object
$mercedes = $dotArray->open('garage.cars.mercedes');
echo $dotArray->wheelsize; // 22-inches

// of course you have the whole thing in your souce
print_r($source);

// [
//	'garage' => [
//    	'cars' => [
//        	'merecedes' => [
//				'model' => 'S-class',
//				etc...
//]

```
