$arrayAgrouped = array_group_by($array, 'name'); // Returns: [ 'pablo' => [ [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '02', ], [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '03', ] ], 'selena' => [ [ 'name' => 'selena', 'date' => 'XX' ] ] ] $arrayAgrouped = array_group_by($array, 'name', true); [ 'pablo' => [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '02', ], 'selena' => [ 'name' => 'selena', 'date' => 'XX' ] ] ``` ### array\_group\_by\_multidimensional [](#array_group_by_multidimensional) Same as function "array\_group\_by" but in this case you can sub-group the array in multiple conditions ``` array_group_by_multidimensional(array $array, array $union_by, bool $onlyFirstValue = false) $array = [ [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '02' ], [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '03' ], [ 'name' => 'selena', 'date' => 'XX' ] ]; $arrayAgrouped = array_group_by_multidimensional($array, ['name','date']); // Returns: [ 'pablo' => [ '02' => [ // 'pablo', 'date' => '02', ], ], '03' => [ [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '03', ] ] ], 'selena' => [ 'XX' => [ [ 'name' => 'selena', 'date' => 'XX' ] ] ] ] $arrayAgrouped = array_group_by_multidimensional($array, ['name','date'], true);

$file = saveCsvInServer($array, 'filename'); // Returns a SavedFile model object $file->id $file->path ... ``` ### saveExcelInServer [](#saveexcelinserver) Function for save an structured array data into excel (for huge data is recommended CSV, save data in excel have low performance) ``` $array = [ [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '02' ], [ 'name' => 'pablo', 'date' => '03' ], [ 'name' => 'selena', 'date' => 'XX' ] ];

// Retrieve data $retrieveData = CacheRequest::get('anyKey'); // Hot cache data from function, if key not exists then execute the function to generate them $retrieveData = CacheRequest::remember('anyKey', function () { // .. do something return 'return any data'; }); // Delete cache CacheRequest::delete('anyKey'); ``` ### RedisHelper [](#redishelper) Similar to RequestCache, but ther store data in to Redis cache system: ``` // Store data RedisHelper::set('anyKey', $anyData, $timeout); // Retrieve datacall($function, $key = '', $prod = false, $EX = 86400) $retrieveData = RedisHelper::get('anyKey'); // Hot cache data from function, if key not exists then execute the function to generate them, for default is not executed in production $retrieveData = RedisHelper::call(function(){ // .. do something return 'return any data'; }, 'anyKey', $executeInProduction, $timeout); // Delete cache RedisHelper::delete('anyKey') ``` ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance32 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
