luminovang / array-functions
A backward utility function for array operations supported in PHP 8.1 and later.
Requires
- php: >=8.0
README
A lightweight utility package for array operations offering procedural functions like array_find
, array_all
, and more. These functions are already supported in PHP 8.1 and later. This package provide backward compatibility for PHP 8.0.
Install via Composer
Recommend installation method:
composer require luminovang/array-functions
Include File
You can also use the function in another projects.
include_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/luminovang/array-functions/src/ArrayFuncs.php;';
Importing the Functions
You can import multiple functions at once using the use function
syntax with braces around the function names:
use function Luminova\Procedural\ArrayFunctions\{ array_find, array_find_key, array_any, array_all };
Importing a Specific Function:
To import a specific function, such as array_find
, use the following syntax:
use function Luminova\Procedural\ArrayFunctions\array_find;
Example Usage
Finding an Element in an Array
The array_find
function allows you to find the first element in an array that satisfies a given condition specified in a callback.
$result = array_find([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], fn(int $value) => $value > 3); echo $result; // Output: 4
In this example,
array_find
returns the first element greater than 3, which is4
.
Finding the Key of an Element in an Array
The array_find_key
function searches for the first key where the corresponding value meets the given condition.
$result = array_find_key(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'], fn(string $value) => $value === 'banana'); echo $result; // Output: 1
Here,
array_find_key
finds the key of 'banana', which is1
.
Another Example
Find key using str_starts_with
.
$result = array_find_key( ['java' => 1, 'php' => 2, 'swift' => 3], fn(int $value, string $key) => str_starts_with($key, 'p') ); echo $result; // Output: php
In this case,
array_find_key
returns the key'php'
, where the key starts with'p'
.
Checking If All Elements Meet a Condition
The array_all
function checks if all elements in the array satisfy the condition defined in the callback.
$result = array_all([2, 4, 6], fn(int $value) => $value % 2 === 0); echo $result; // Output: true
In this example,
array_all
returnstrue
because all elements in the array are even numbers.
Checking If Any Element Meets a Condition
The array_any
function checks if at least one element in the array meets the condition specified in the callback.
$result = array_any([1, 2, 3], fn(int $value) => $value > 2); echo $result; // Output: true
In this case,
array_any
returnstrue
because one element (3
) is greater than2
