README

This package provides an object-oriented way to retrieve the Array data with the right type.

If you are familiar with static analysis tool like phpstan, you've probably encountered Cannot cast mixed to string error (or similar).

This is usually happen when you try to cast a value returned from a method/function with a mixed return type.

With this package you can get a string value (and not only string) directly from the Arr helper like:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var \Illuminate\Support\Stringable $myValue */
$myValue = Arr::string($data, 'my-value');

Usage

Retrieving Stringable from Arr helper

You may use the string method to retrieve the Arr helper item as an instance of Illuminate\Support\Stringable:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var \Illuminate\Support\Stringable $name */
$name = Arr::string($data, 'name');

Retrieving Boolean from Arr helper

You may use the boolean method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a boolean. The boolean method returns true for 1, "1", true, "true", "on", and "yes". All other values will return false:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var bool $archived */
$archived = Arr::boolean($data, 'archived');

Retrieving Integer from Arr helper

You may use the integer method to retrieve the Arr helper item as an integer:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var int $count */
$count = Arr::integer($data, 'count');

Retrieving Float from Arr helper

You may use the float method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a float:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var float $amount */
$amount = Arr::float($data, 'amount');

Retrieving Date from Arr helper

You may use the date method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a Carbon instance:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var \Carbon\Carbon $birthday */
$birthday = Arr::date($data, 'birthday');

The second and third arguments accepted by the date method may be used to specify the date's format and timezone, respectively:

use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var \Carbon\Carbon $elapsed */
$elapsed = Arr::date($data, 'elapsed', '!H:i', 'Europe/Madrid');

In case of an invalid format, an InvalidArgumentException will be thrown.

Retrieving Enum from Arr helper

You may use the enum method to retrieve the Arr helper item as a PHP enum instance. In case of an invalid value or the enum does not have a backing value that matches the input value, null will be returned. The enum method accepts the name of the input value and the enum class as its first and second arguments:

use App\Enums\Status;
use \Illuminate\Support\Arr;

/** @var Status $status */
$status = Arr::enum($data, 'status', Status::class);
