Why this library?

While using php Array methods it feels troublesome because of their unstructured patterns.

For example, you are using the array_map and the array_filter methods of php. At the time of using, you may notice that for the array_map method, the $callback comes as the first parameter of the method, then the $array but for the array_filter method, the $array comes first then the $callback. And this mixed structure exists everywhere.

Then I've discovered that the JavaScript uses a good pattern for these cases and I am also a big fan of JavaScript. That's why I've decided to build this library. I can say that the JavaScript lovers can get the pure feelings of JavaScript by using this and the JavaScript non-lovers also get the advantage of the good structure of array manipulations.

Future Journey

Currently I've covered only the array methods. In near future I will add the object and string methods.

Installation

composer is needed for installing the package. If you have composer installed then run the command.

composer require ahamed/jsphp

Usage

After successful installation, include the library into your project.

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Ahamed\JsPhp\JsArray;

$data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$array = new JsArray($data);

$square = $array->map(
    function ($item) {
        return $item * $item;
    }
);

print_r($square);

Documentation

For writing this documentation I've followed the MDN a lot. Thanks to MDN, this site helps me to learn a lot of JS.

Follow the wiki pages for the details documentation.
