Array View PHP

Array View is a PHP library that provides a powerful set of utilities for working with arrays in a versatile and efficient manner. These classes enable developers to create views of arrays, manipulate data with ease, and select specific elements using index lists, masks, and slice parameters.

Array View offers a Python-like slicing experience for efficient data manipulation and selection of array elements.

Features

• Create array views for easy data manipulation.
• Select elements using Python-like slice notation.
• Handle array slicing operations with ease.
• Enable efficient selection of elements using index lists and boolean masks.

How to install to your project

composer require smoren/array-view

Usage

Quick examples

Slicing

use Smoren\ArrayView\Views\ArrayView;

$originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
$originalView = ArrayView::toView($originalArray);

$originalView['1:7:2']; // [2, 4, 6]
$originalView[':3']; // [1, 2, 3]
$originalView['::-1']; // [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

$originalView[2]; // 3
$originalView[4]; // 5

$originalView['1:7:2'] = [22, 44, 66];
print_r($originalView); // [1, 22, 3, 44, 5, 66, 7, 8, 9]

Subviews

use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\IndexListSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\MaskSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\SliceSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Views\ArrayView;

$originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$originalView = ArrayView::toView($originalArray);

$originalView.subview(new MaskSelector([true, false, true, false, true])).toArray(); // [1, 3, 5]
$originalView.subview(new IndexListSelector([1, 2, 4])).toArray(); // [2, 3, 5]
$originalView.subview(new SliceSelector('::-1')).toArray(); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
$originalView.subview('::-1').toArray(); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

$originalView.subview(new MaskSelector([true, false, true, false, true])).apply(fn ($x) => x * 10);
print_r($originalArray); // [10, 2, 30, 4, 50]

Subarrays

use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\IndexListSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\MaskSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\SliceSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Views\ArrayView;

$originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$originalView = ArrayView::toView($originalArray);

$originalView[new MaskSelector([true, false, true, false, true])]; // [1, 3, 5]
$originalView[new IndexListSelector([1, 2, 4])]; // [2, 3, 5]
$originalView[new SliceSelector('::-1')]; // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
$originalView['::-1']; // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

$originalView[new MaskSelector([true, false, true, false, true])] = [10, 30, 50];
print_r($originalArray); // [10, 2, 30, 4, 50]

Combining subviews

use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\IndexListSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\MaskSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Selectors\SliceSelector;
use Smoren\ArrayView\Views\ArrayView;

const $originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

const $subview = ArrayView::toView(originalArray)
    ->subview('::2')                                             // [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
    ->subview(new MaskSelector([true, false, true, true, true])) // [1, 5, 7, 9]
    ->subview(new IndexListSelector([0, 1, 2]))                  // [1, 5, 7]
    ->subview('1:');                                             // [5, 7]

$subview[':'] = [55, 77];
print_r($originalArray); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 55, 6, 77, 8, 9, 10]
