Descent Framework Standard PHP Functions.

Standard PHP Functions

Similar to the Standard PHP Library, this package provides additional PHP functions at the global scope which are used at the core of the Descent Framework.

Implemented global scope array functions

• array_fetch - resolves a query path based array value
• array_extend - extends an given array by the provided query path and value
• array_exclude - removes a value based on the provided query path
• array_normalize - normalizes a array based on query path notation
• array_ping - checks whether a query path exists or not
• array_touch - guarantees that a query path is an array

See Functions.php.

What is query path?

Query paths are notations of a chain of array keys to directly access deep array values in a regular array.

Do query path based array functions work on arrays with query path notation?

No, you have to normalize those array. There is a function for such scenarios build in: array_normalize.

Do query path based array functions work directly on the source array?

No, all functions do create a copy of the provided array.

Implemented global scope callback functions

• encloseCallback - creates a Closure of a provided callable, automatically uses Closure::fromCallable when available
• encloseCallbackPattern - calls encloseCallback after the provided callback pattern (separated by the provided method separator and enhanced by the provided namespace) was converted to a callback.
