Description

qinq is a lightweight array handling component that provides support for complex array manipulation with queries and built-in query caching, _(*5)

This package does not parse PHP or do any AST handling. qinq only manipulates arrays using php's built-in array functionality., _(*6)

Dependency

• php 5.5+
• jgswift/qtil - general utility library
• jgswift/kenum - enumerator implementation
• jgswift/kfiltr - filter/map/hook implementation

Usage

The following is a basic example, _(*7)

$richPeople = $people
    ->where(function($person) { return $person['money'] > 1000000; })
    ->order(function($personA,$personB) { return ($personA['money'] < $personB['money']) ? -1 : 1; })
    ->index(function($person) { return $person['lastName']; })
    ->select(function($person) {
        return [
            'fullName' => $person['firstName'].' '.$person['lastName'],
            'money' => $person['money'],
            'networth' => $person['money'] - $person['debt']
        ];
    });

Populating a qinq collection, _(*8)

$integers = new qinq\Collection(range(1,50));
$names = new qinq\Collection(['bob','joe','sam','john','jake']);

Filter

// Retrieve all integers divisible by 5
foreach($integers->where(function($n) { return $n % 5 === 0; }) as $integer) {
    // 5, 10, 15, 20 ...
}

// Retrieve all names with a character length of 3
foreach($names->where(function($n) { return strlen($n) === 3; }) as $name) {
    // bob, joe, sam
}

Map

Applies a callback to the collection elements, _(*9)

foreach($numbers
        ->filter(function($v) {
            return (bool)($v & 1); // filter out even values
        })
        ->map(function($v) {
            return $v * $v * $v; // cube all remaining odd values
        }) as $number) {
    // 1, 27, 125, 343, 729 ...
}

Order

// Retrieves all integers in descending order
foreach($integers->order(qinq\Order::DESCENDING) as $integer) {
    // 50, 49, 48, 47 ...
}

// Retrieves all names in order of character length
foreach($names->order(function($n) { return strlen($n); } ) as $name ) {
    // john, jake, bob ...
}

Sort

// Retrieve all names in order of character length (with compare function)
foreach($names->sort(function($a,$b) { return (strlen($a) > strlen($b)) ? -1 : 1; } ) as $name ) {
    // john, jake, bob ...
}

Group

// Group values by divisibility of 2
foreach($integers->group(function($n) { return $n % 2; }) as $group) {
    // [ 2, 4, 6, 8 ... ], [ 1, 3, 5, 7 ... ]
}

// Group names by to character length
foreach($names->group(function($n) { return strlen($n); }) as $group) {
    // [ bob, joe, sam ], [ john, jake ]
}

Join

// Join integer collections using comparison method (on) and output method (to)
foreach($integers
    ->join($integers)
    ->on(function($outer,$inner) {
        return ($outer >= $inner) ? true : false;
    })
    ->to(function($outer,qinq\Collection $innerGroup) {
        return $outer.':'.implode(',',$innerGroup->toArray());
    }) as $integer ) {
        // 1:1 , 2:1,2 , 3:1,2,3 ...
    }

// Join integer and name collection, grouping names with integer that matches the character length
foreach($integers
    ->join($names)
    ->on(function($outer) {
        return $outer;
    }, 'strlen')
    ->to(function($outer,$inner) {
        return $outer.':'.$inner;
    }) as $number ) {
        // 3:bob, 3:joe, 3:sam, 4:john, 4:jake
    }

Difference

Computes the difference between collection and argument, _(*10)

foreach($integers
    ->difference(range(25,50))
    as $number) {
        // 1, 2, 3, ..., 24
    }

Except

Alias of Difference, _(*11)

foreach($integers
    ->except(range(25,50))
    as $number) {
        // 1, 2, 3, ..., 24
    }

echo $integers->first(); // 1

Last

Retrieves last item in collection, _(*13)

echo $integers->last(); // 50

Pluck

Aggregate specific array key or object property, _(*14)

$users = new qinq\Collection([
    [
        'name' => 'bob'
        'email' => 'bob@example.com'
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'jim'
        'email' => 'jim@example.com'
    ]
]);

foreach($users->pluck('name') as $name) {
    // bob, jim 
}

class User {
    public $name, $email;

    function __construct($name, $email) { /* ... */ }
}

$users = new qinq\Collection([
    new User('bob','bob@example.com'),
    new User('jim','jim@example.com'),
]);

foreach($users->pluck('email') as $email) {
    // bob@example.com, jim@example.com
}

From

Replaces entire collection with given arguments. A single array/Iterator/Collection may also be given., _(*15)

foreach($integers
    ->from([3,4])
    as $number) {
        // 3, 4
    }

foreach($integers
    ->from(3,4,5)
    as $number) {
        // 3, 4, 5
    }

Intersect

foreach($integers
    ->intersect(range(25,100))
    as $number) {
        // 25, 26, 27, ..., 50
    }

Reduce

$q = new qinq\Collection([1,2,3,4,5]);

foreach($q
    ->reduce(function($carry,$item) {
        return $carry * $item; // 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5
    })
    as $result) {
        // 120
    }

Shuffle

foreach($integers
    ->shuffle()
    as $result) {
        // random number between 1 and 50
    }

Values

foreach($integers
    ->values()
    as $result) {
        // 1, 2, 3, ..., 50
    }

Keys

foreach($integers
    ->keys()
    as $number) {
        // 1, 2, 3, ..., 50
    }

Pack

Removes all data from collection that is weakly equivalent to false or 0, _(*21)

$junk = new qinq\Collection([
    false, 0, false, '0', 'hello'
]);

foreach($junk
    ->pack()
    as $item) {
        // 'hello'
    }

Random

Selects a number of random items from collection, _(*22)

foreach($integers
    ->random(5)
    as $result) {
        // 5 random items from array
    }

Recursive

Recursive maps through nested collections with a callback function, _(*23)

$numbers = new qinq\Collection([
    1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]], 7, [8, [9, 10]] // multidimensional array
]);

foreach($numbers
    ->recursive(function($value) {
        return $value * $value; // square(^2) values
    }) as $number) {
        // [ 1, 4, [ 9, 16, [ 25, 36 ] ] , 49, [ 64, [ 81, 100 ] ] ]
    }

Search

Search filters through nested collections with a callback function, _(*24)

$numbers = new qinq\Collection([
    1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]], 7, [8, [9, 10]] // multidimensional array
]);

foreach($numbers
    ->search(function($value) {
        return ($value & 1) ? true : false; // only include odd values
    }) as $number) {
        // [ 1, [ 3, [ 5 ] ] , 7, [ 9 ] ]
    }

Selector

Selector filters through nested collections using common string selectors, _(*25)

$ages = new qinq\Collection([
    'joe' => 26,
    'jim' => 40
    'john' => 16
]);

foreach($ages
    ->selector('joe|jim') as $age) {
        // [ 26, 40 ]
    }

$favorites = new qinq\Collection([
    'joe' => [
        'color' => 'red',
        'hat' => 'fedora'
    ]
]);

foreach($favorites
    ->selector('[joe][color]') as $favorite) {
        // [ 'color' => 'red' ]
    }

Flatten

Retrieves every value from a multidimensional collection tree and transforms it into a single dimensional collection, _(*26)

$tree = new qinq\Collection([
    [1,2,[8,9],3,4],
    [4,5,6,[1,2,3]],
    [8,[9,10],[4,5]]
]);

foreach($tree
    ->flatten()
    as $number) {
        // 1, 2, 8, 9, 3, 4, 4, 5..
    }

A flag argument may be provided to limit the flattening to certain types of collections or only arrays. The following example will leave the ArrayObject intact and avoid descending into any collections that are not strictly arrays., _(*27)

use qinq\Object\Query\Flatten;

$tree = new qinq\Collection([
    [1,2,[3,4]
    [5,new ArrayObject([6,7,8])],
]);

foreach($tree
    ->flatten(Flatten::ARRAYONLY)
    as $number) {
        // 1, 2, 3, 4, ArrayObject()
    }

Flatten Flags

• Flatten::ARRAYONLY

Flattens strictly php arrays, cancels all other flags, _(*28)

• Flatten::COLLECTION

Flattens objects implementing the qtil Traversable interface, _(*29)

• Flatten::TRAVERSABLE

Flattens objects implementing the built-in php Traversable interface., _(*30)

• Flatten::ITERATOR

Flattens objects implementing the built-in php Iterator interface, _(*31)

Note: You may combine or exclude flags using bitwise logic.
The default flatten flag setting descends into any known collection type by default, namely COLLECTION, TRAVERSABLE, and ITERATOR., _(*32)

Storing

qinq requires jgswift/delegatr to serialize and store queries., _(*33)

$query = new \qinq\Object\Query($integers);

$query->select(function($n) {
    return $n * 3;
})->where(function($n) {
    return $n % 2 === 0;
});

$query_to_cache = serialize($query);

$query_from_cache = unserialize($query_to_cache);

var_dump( $query_from_cache->execute() === $query->execute() ) // true

Note: Query storing relies on eval to unserialize Closures.
Do not rely on users to provide serialized queries to your application as this can make your application vulnerable to code injection.
You can verify a queries authenticity by performing a cryptographic checksum on the serialized contents every time a client sends the query.
However said functionality is not implemented in this package., _(*34)
