Methods

__construct()

Constructor.

public __construct(array<string|int, mixed> $input) : mixed

Sets the input array.

Parameters
$input : array<string|int, mixed>

Array to perform operations on.

Return values
mixed

filter()

Filters the list, based on a set of key => value arguments.

public filter([array<string|int, mixed> $args = array() ][, string $operator = 'AND' ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$args : array<string|int, mixed> = array()

Optional. An array of key => value arguments to match against each object. Default empty array.

$operator : string = 'AND'

Optional. The logical operation to perform. 'AND' means all elements from the array must match. 'OR' means only one element needs to match. 'NOT' means no elements may match. Default 'AND'.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

Array of found values.

get_input()

Returns the original input array.

public get_input() : array<string|int, mixed>

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

The input array.

get_output()

Returns the output array.

public

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

The output array.

pluck()

Plucks a certain field out of each object in the list.

public pluck(int|string $field[, int|string $index_key = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This has the same functionality and prototype of array_column() (PHP 5.5) but also supports objects.

Parameters
$field : int|string

Field from the object to place instead of the entire object

$index_key : int|string = null

Optional. Field from the object to use as keys for the new array. Default null.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

Array of found values. If $index_key is set, an array of found values with keys corresponding to $index_key. If $index_key is null, array keys from the original $list will be preserved in the results.

sort()

Sorts the list, based on one or more orderby arguments.

public sort([string|array<string|int, mixed> $orderby = array() ][, string $order = 'ASC' ][, bool $preserve_keys = false ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$orderby : string|array<string|int, mixed> = array()

Optional. Either the field name to order by or an array of multiple orderby fields as $orderby => $order.

$order : string = 'ASC'

Optional. Either 'ASC' or 'DESC'. Only used if $orderby is a string.

$preserve_keys : bool = false

Optional. Whether to preserve keys. Default false.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

The sorted array.

sort_callback()

Callback to sort the list by specific fields.

private sort_callback(object|array<string|int, mixed> $a, object|array<string|int, mixed> $b) : int
Parameters
$a : object|array<string|int, mixed>

One object to compare.

$b : object|array<string|int, mixed>

The other object to compare.
