pop-utils

The popphp/pop-utils is a basic utilities component for the Pop PHP Framework

Installation

Install it directly into your project:

composer require popphp/pop-utils

Or, include it in your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "popphp/pop-utils": "^1.1.0",
    }
}

Array Object

The Pop\Utils\ArrayObject class implements a number of interfaces to allow it to behave like array, but with much more functionality built in. With it, you can access the array data within the object via standard array notation ($ary['item']) or via object notation ($ary->item).

You can iterate over the array object and it is countable. Also you can cast it to an native array using the toArray() method.

use Pop\Utils\ArrayObject;

$arrayObject = new ArrayObject(['foo' => 'bar']);

echo $arrayObject->foo;
echo $arrayObject['foo'];

echo count($arrayObject);

foreach ($arrayObject as $key => $value) {
    echo $key . ': ' . $value;
}

$array = $arrayObject->toArray();

There are also additional serialize/unserialize methods that allow you to work with the array object as JSON-string or PHP-serialized string

use Pop\Utils\ArrayObject;

$arrayObject = ArrayObject::createFromJson('{"foo":"bar"}');
echo $arrayObject->jsonSerialize(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
use Pop\Utils\ArrayObject;

$arrayObject = ArrayObject::createFromSerialized('a:1:{s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";}');
echo $arrayObject->serialize();

Callable Object

The Pop\Utils\CallableObject class helps to manage callable objects and their parameters. This includes functions, closures, classes and their methods (both static and instance.)

The parameters can be set anytime in the callable object’s life cycle, from the time of instantiation via the constructor, via the set/add methods or at the time of calling the object. Parameters passed into the callable object can be callable themselves and will be invoked at the time the parent callable object is called.

Function Callable

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

$callable = new CallableObject('trim', ' Hello World! ');
echo $callable->call(); // Outputs 'Hello World!'

Closure Callable

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

$callable = new CallableObject(function ($var) { echo strtoupper($var) . '!';});
$callable->addParameter('hello world');
echo $callable->call(); // Outputs 'HELLO WORLD!'

Here’s an alternate way to call by passing the parameter in at the time of the call:

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

$callable = new CallableObject(function ($var) { echo strtoupper($var) . '!';});
echo $callable->call('hello world'); // Outputs 'HELLO WORLD!'

Static Method Callable

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

$callable = new CallableObject('MyClass::someMethod');
echo $callable->call(); // Executes the static 'someMethod()' from class 'MyClass'

Instance Method Callable

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

$callable = new CallableObject('MyClass->someMethod');
echo $callable->call(); // Executes the 'someMethod()' in an instance of 'MyClass'

Constructor Callable

use Pop\Utils\CallableObject;

class MyClass
{

    protected $str = null;

    public function __construct($str)
    {
        $this->str = $str;
    }

    public function printString()
    {
        echo $this->str;
    }

}

// Creates an instance of 'MyClass' with the string 'Hello World' passed into the constructor
$callable = new CallableObject('MyClass', 'Hello World');
$myInstance = $callable->call();
$myInstance->printString() ;

String Helper

The Pop\Utils\Str class has a number of static methods to assist in manipulating and generating strings.

Slugs

use Pop\Utils\Str;

echo Str::createSlug('Hello World | Home Page'); // hello-world-home-page

Links

use Pop\Utils\Str;

echo Str::createLinks('Test Email test@test.com and Test Website http://www.test.com/');
// Test Email <a href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a> and
// Test Website <href="http://www.test.com/">http://www.test.com/</a>

Random Strings

use Pop\Utils\Str;

echo Str::createRandom(10);                         // 5.u9MHw{PC
echo Str::createRandomAlpha(10, Str::LOWERCASE);    // wvjvvsmnjw
echo Str::createRandomAlphaNum(10, Str::UPPERCASE); // 6S73HQ629R

Convert Case

The convert case feature allows for the following case and string format types:

  • TitleCase
  • camelCase
  • kebab-case (dash)
  • snake_case (underscore)
  • NameSpace
  • folder/path
  • url/path (uri)

And can be utilized via a variety of dynamic static method calls:

use Pop\Utils\Str;

echo Str::titleCaseToKebabCase('TitleCase');         // title-case
echo Str::titleCaseToSnakeCase('TitleCase');         // title_case
echo Str::camelCaseToDash('camelCase');              // camel-case
echo Str::camelCaseToUnderscore('camelCase');        // camel_case
echo Str::kebabCaseToTitleCase('kebab-string');      // KebabString
echo Str::snakeCaseToCamelCase('snake_case_string'); // SnakeCaseString
echo Str::snakeCaseToNamespace('snake_case_string'); // Snake\Case\String
echo Str::kebabCaseToPath('kebab-string');           // kebab/string (kebab\string on Windows)
echo Str::camelCaseToUrl('camelCase');               // camel/case
