WritePrettyArray: A PHP Class for Elegant Configuration File Generation
=======================================================================

[](#writeprettyarray-a-php-class-for-elegant-configuration-file-generation)

The `WritePrettyArray` class simplifies the creation of well-formatted PHP configuration files. By automatically generating human-readable code, it's ideal for storing data and integrating into CI/CD pipelines.

Key Method: `toFile()`
----------------------

[](#key-method-tofile)

```
public static function toFile(
    string $filePath,
    array  $data,
    array  $comments = [],
    string $header = ''
): void
```

Parameters
----------

[](#parameters)

- `$filePath`: The desired output file path.
- `$data`: An associative array containing key-value pairs of data to be written.
- `$comments`: An optional associative array where keys correspond to data keys, and values are arrays of comment headers and lines.
- `$header`: An optional string to be added at the beginning of the file.

Comment structure
-----------------

[](#comment-structure)

Comments are associated with specific data keys using the following format:

```
$comments['data_key'] = [
    'Comment Header', // Optional header for the comment block
    [
        'Line 1 of comment',
        'Line 2 of comment',
    ]
    // ...
];
```

By using WritePrettyArray, you can:

- **Streamline Configuration Management:** Easily generate and maintain configuration files.
- **Enhance Code Readability:** Create well-structured and commented configuration files.
- **Integrate into CI/CD:** Automate configuration file generation as part of your build process.
