README

Use this tool for simple operation with strings and arrays.

Installation

It's recommended that you use Composer to install shorts.

$ composer require loandbeholdru/shorts

TODO / in progress

Package include many functions which i use more than 5 years, but this README so poor.
Documentation in progress ...

Usage

Replaces the fields in the $payload text according to the $dict dictionary. ReGexp field template takes from $field regexp $dict is an associative array. Field names in $keys, field contents in $values

arrays::substfields(string $payload, array $dict, string $fieldregexp = "/#\{%s\}/")

Switch keys of assoc array to low reg:

arrays::lowkeys(array $payload)

Changes $payload to array. If $payload is array do it recursive:

arrays::always($payload)

Deep sorting and comparing two arrays:

arrays::isEqual(array $ar1, array $ar2)

Returns true if all array elements belong to the $type type:

arrays::is_array_of($payload, $sample, bool $anywayarray = false)

Combines an array of two different ones. Regardless of the length. Finishes off all $ by default:

arrays::args($names, $values, $default = null)

Recursively sorts the array by keys or by content (if it is ordinary):

arrays::sort(&$payload)

Defines the associativity of an array:

arrays::isAssoc($payload)

Returns an instance of a class made from an array, if the array contains information about the class in the field with the name: arrays::TYPE_KEY ("_type")

arrays::fromClassified($classified, $default = null)

Handles "fail" situations. If $default is a function, executes $default($data). If $default is an exception, it throws an exception. In other cases, it returns $default:

arrays::fail($data, $default)

Returns decoded JSON, acting in the same way as json_decode, only determines the validity of json. In case of invalid JSON returns either default or the result of default execution (or Exception):

arrays::valid_json($string, bool $assoc = true, $default = null)

First, drive everything to an array (over the entire depth), then to json, and then takes a hash:

arrays::deephash($payload, string $algo = 'ripemd128')

Last element:

arrays::last(array $payload)

First element:

arrays::first(array $payload)

Checks for the presence of a constant in the class or globally. $default responds:

arrays::ifDefined(string $classname, string $constname, $default = null)

Contributions

... are always welcome. Many times it is useful to just point out a use case the author have not thought about or come across.
