###### A multi-purpose data manipulation library

[](#a-multi-purpose-data-manipulation-library)

A data manipulation library is meant to, well, manipulate data. This library introduces two main classes: `Entity` and `EntityCollection`. The first one accumulates data, the second one allows batch operations on entities. But that's not all, another feature of this library is data import/export.

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

[](#installation)

Package is available through composer:

`composer require xayan/dataflow`

Usage

id,firstName,lastName,age
1,John,Doe,10
2,Mickey,Mouse,50

```
