scheb/property-access
Read and write properties from/to PHP objects and arrays
scheb/property-access
A library to read/write values from/to objects and arrays.
It is similar to symfony/property-access, but is built in a more
lightweight way and therefore has less sophisticated syntax.
Features
- Read properties from objects/arrays
- Write properties from objects/arrays
- Built-in support for camel-case getters and setters
- Can be extended with your own access strategies
Installation
composer require scheb/property-accessHow to use
$valueObject = ...; // Array or object
$strategies = [
new \Scheb\PropertyAccess\Strategy\ArrayAccessStrategy(),
new \Scheb\PropertyAccess\Strategy\ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(),
new \Scheb\PropertyAccess\Strategy\ObjectGetterSetterAccessStrategy(),
];
$accessor = new \Scheb\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess($strategies);
// Returns the value or null
$accessor->getPropertyValue($valueObject, 'propertyName');
// Returns the modified value object or throws FailedSettingPropertyException
$accessor->setPropertyValue($valueObject, 'propertyName', 'newValue');How to extend
To create your own access strategies, implement Scheb\PropertyAccess\Strategy\PropertyAccessStrategyInterface and
pass in an instance of that class to the constructor argument $propertyAccessStrategies of
Scheb\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess.
