Tree Data Structure
===================

[](#tree-data-structure)

This library aims to provide an object oriented way to create a tree data structure. Each node has a user defined unique id by which it is referenced.

Installing the project
----------------------

[](#installing-the-project)

Run `composer require tebru/tree:1.0.*`

Creating the tree
-----------------

[](#creating-the-tree)

Creating a tree is really easy. All you have to do is instantiate it: `$tree = new Tree();`This will create the tree object and create a root node to act upon.

### Create a node

[](#create-a-node)

There are many options for creating a node.

- Creating a node appended to the root node can be done like `$tree->createNode('node');`
- If you want to add this node to a different node you can do so like `$tree->createNode('node2', 'node');`
- You have the option to add arbitrary data to a node by doing `$tree->createNode('a_category', null, 'Foo Category');`
- Finally, you can specify the position your node should appear in the parent's children like `$tree->createNode('node', null, null, 10);`
    - You may not specify an position for an index that does not already exist
    - Setting the position will bump all existing nodes back 1 space starting with the node at the specified index

### Remove a node

[](#remove-a-node)

Just pass in the node id: `$tree->removeNode('node');`This will remove that node and all of its children from the tree.

### Move a node

[](#move-a-node)

This is also easy. Just specify the node id of the node you wish to move and the node id of its new parent: `$tree->moveNode('node', 'newNodeId');`

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Run tests by running `phpunit` from the root directory.

Versioning
----------

[](#versioning)

This project uses semantic versioning \[\] for versioning.
