This is a php package to deal with different data type variables.

Installation

$ composer require amsify42/php-vars-data

Table of Contents

1. Evaluate
2. Array Simple

1. Evaluate

This is a simple class Amsify42\PHPVarsData\Data\Evaluate which converts string to its actual evaluated value and convert actual value to its evaluated string.

use Amsify42\PHPVarsData\Data\Evaluate;

To convert string to actual evaluated value

Evaluate::toValue('true');
Evaluate::toValue('false');
Evaluate::toValue('null');
Evaluate::toValue('42');
Evaluate::toValue('4.2');
Evaluate::toValue('Amsify');

To convert actual value to its evaluated string

Evaluate::toString(true);
Evaluate::toString(false);
Evaluate::toString(null);
Evaluate::toString(42);
Evaluate::toString(4.2);

To convert short count string value to its evaluated count

Evaluate::toCount('2.5K');
Evaluate::toCount('4.2M');
Evaluate::toCount('1.1B');

We can do the same with helper methods as well

evaluate_to_value('true');
evaluate_to_string(true);
evaluate_to_count('3.1k');

2. Array Simple

Its a helper class to set/get any level array element easily.

use Amsify42\PHPVarsData\Data\ArraySimple;

This is how we can initialize array

$arraySimple = new ArraySimple([1,2,3]);

or

$arraySimple = new get_array_simple([1,2,3]);

With the initialized array, we can do all the things which we do with conventional array like setting/unsetting keys, iterating.

foreach($arraySimple as $item)
{
    echo $item;
}

$item[] = 4;
unset($item[4]);

Apart from doing the above, we can also set/get element value from any level like this

$arraySimple = get_array_simple([
            'name' => 'amsify',
            'detail' => [
                'location' => 'somewhere',
                'more_detail' => [
                    'do' => 'something',
                    'ids' => [42]
                ]
            ]
        ]);
echo $arraySimple->get('detail.location');
$arraySimple->set('detail.more_detail.do', 'nothing');
echo $arraySimple->get('detail.more_detail.do');

If you have noticed, we are passing key levels separated by dot.
Note: Make sure the element key names in array does not contain dots else results might not be as expected.
