README

Implementation of map data type for PHP. Allows to use non-scalar keys like objects, arrays.

Install

Via composer

    "require": {
        "wookieb/map": "0.1"
    }

Example

use Wookieb\Map\Map;

$map = new Map();

$object = new stdClass();

$map->add(true, 'that\'s true');
$map->add($object, 'some object');
$map->add('key', 'value');

$map->get(true); // that's true
$map->get($object); // some object
$map->get('key'); // value

Iteration

Since map may contains some non-scalar keys so iteration is different. For php < 5.5 you will receive a MapEntry object instead of value of current element in iteration. For php >= 5.5 iteration works normally.

use Wookieb\Map\Map;

$map = new Map();
$map->add('yearly', 'ketchup');


// for php < 5.5
foreach ($map as $entry) {
    list($key, $value) = $entry->get();
    $key; // yearly
    $value; // ketchup
    // or
    $entry->getKey(); // yearly
    $entry->getValue(); // ketchup
}

// for php >= 5.5
foreach ($map as $key => $value) {
    $key; // yearly
    $value; // ketchup
}

// forcing map to use MapEntry objects
$map = new Map(true);
$map->add('yearly', 'ketchup');

// for every php version
foreach ($map as $entry) {
    list($key, $value) = $entry->get();
}
