Why this library?
While using php Array methods it feels troublesome because of their unstructured patterns.
For example, you are using the array_map and the array_filter methods of php. At the time of using, you may notice that for the array_map method, the $callback comes as the first parameter of the method, then the $array but for the array_filter method, the $array comes first then the $callback. And this mixed structure exists everywhere.
Then I've discovered that the JavaScript uses a good pattern for these cases and I am also a big fan of JavaScript. That's why I've decided to build this library. I can say that the JavaScript lovers can get the pure feelings of JavaScript by using this and the JavaScript non-lovers also get the advantage of the good structure of array manipulations.
Future Journey
Currently I've covered only the array methods. In near future I will add the object and string methods.
Installation
composer is needed for installing the package. If you have composer installed then run the command.
composer require ahamed/jsphp
Usage
After successful installation, include the library into your project.
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Ahamed\JsPhp\JsArray;
$data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$array = new JsArray($data);
$square = $array->map(
function ($item) {
return $item * $item;
}
);
print_r($square);
Documentation
For writing this documentation I've followed the MDN a lot. Thanks to MDN, this site helps me to learn a lot of JS.
Follow the wiki pages for the details documentation.
Testing
You can run PHPUnit testing and PHP_CodeSniffer.
- For running unit test
composer run-script test - For running phpcs test
composer run-script phpcs
