This is expected. The segments will create a nested value `some -> annotation -> com/ttl` with a value of `1800`. ``` $annotations = [ 'some.annotation.com/ttl' => 900, ]; Arr::set($annotations, 'some.annotation.com/ttl', 1800); // Current result // [ // 'some' => [ // 'annotation' => [ // 'com/ttl' => 1800 // ] // ] // ] // Desired result // [ // 'some.annotation.com/ttl' => 1800 // ] ``` To fix this, Explicit Array introduces a new `RenokiCo\ExplicitArray\Arr` class, which altered the `::set()` method, so that will make sure to read the segments between quotes as literal keys. **You may use this class as your regular `Arr` class because it extends the original `\Illuminate\Support\Arr` class.** ``` use RenokiCo\ExplicitArray\Arr; Arr::set($annotations, '"some.annotation.com/ttl"', 1800); // [ // 'some.annotation.com/ttl' => 1800 // ] ``` This can work with mixed segments, meaning that as long as you keep the dots outside the quotes, you can specify nested values: ``` use RenokiCo\ExplicitArray\Arr; Arr::set($annotations, 'annotations.nested."some.annotation.com/ttl"', 1800); // [ // 'annotations' => [ // 'nested' => [ // 'some.annotation.com/ttl' => 1800 // ] // ] // ] ``` 🐛 Testing --------- [](#-testing) ``` vendor/bin/phpunit ``` 🤝 Contributing -------------- [](#-contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. 🔒 Security ---------- [](#--security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker. 🎉 Credits --------- [](#-credits) - [Alex Renoki](https://github.com/rennokki) - [All Contributors](../../contributors) ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance55 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 57.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
