Joiner Docs

Joiner is a php library to provide serialization and manipulation of the serialized data.

Joiner consists in 3 different and possible steps to result in an output of the provided data

• join($arg) sets the based argument to start joining from.
• append($key, $arg) adds to the $key key on the final output the following serialized $arg argument.
• filter($key)

Imagine we have an array like so $array = [1,2,3]; and we set it with our join like the following $joiner->join($array);, whatever we append afterwards, it will be based on this first serialized array. So having a second string like $string = "Marcos"; and append it $joiner->append("name", $string); will result in

$output = $joiner->execute(); // [0 => 1, 1 => 2, 2 => 3, "name" => "Marcos"]

But what if we do not want any of these results to be shown? We can filter it !

$joiner->join($array)->append("name", $string)->filter(0) will result in

$output = $joiner->execute(); // [1 => 2, 2 => 3, "name" => "Marcos"]

Examples

• Primitive Data
• Object with primitive fields
• Object with other objects as fields
• Appending values to nested keys
• Filtering nested keys
