Development happens at AccumulatePHP-src

AccumulatePHP

A PHP collections library, inspired by java collections framework.

What is this library for

Using more refined datastructures allows for safer, often more efficient code than using arrays (list and assoc). TreeMap for example guarantees being searchable in O (log n). Furthermore, non-scalar keys can be used as keys in maps.

Static Analysis

AccumulatePHP provides first class support for static analysis through PHPStan level 9.

Installation

composer require nsilbernagel/accumulatephp

Usage Examples

ArraySeries and HashMap are the main two data structures you will be using. Here are examples of how to use them.

ArraySeries

// create empty list
$series = ArraySeries::new();

// create list with elements 1,2 and 3
$series = ArraySeries::of(1,2,3);

// add 4
$series->add(4);

// remove 4th element
$series->remove(3);

// filter list for event number
$evenNumbers = $series->filter(fn(int $number) => $number % 2 === 0)

// map list, multiplay all elements by 2
$multiplied = $series->map(fn(int $number) => $number*2)

For a complete overview of ArraySeries and the other series available, please refer to the source files under src/series

HashMap

// create empty map
$map = Hashmap::new();

// create map with initial entries
$map = Hashmap::of(
    Entry::of('example', 'code'),
    Entry::of('is', 'fun'),
);

// add entry
$map->put('isnt', 'it?');

// remove entry via key
$map->remove('isnt');

Hashmaps can use any type keys, except for resources and arrays. Classes may implement Hashable interface to determine their hash function and definition of equality. You may refer to https://www.baeldung.com/java-equals-hashcode-contracts to learn more about equals and hashcode and their contracts.

Helpers

AccumulatePHP provides helper methods for creating Accumulations

$series = mutableSeriesOf(1,2,3);

$map = mutableMapOf(Entry::of('hello', 'world'));

$set = mutableSetOf(1,2,3);

Loading

Accumulation

The base interface of this library. An accumulation (collection) of items. Iterable and Countable.

SequencedAccumulation

An Accumulation with a defined sequence or order of elements. Which order this is is up to the implementation. It might be insertion order for some or natural order for others.

Series

A SequencedAccumulation that allows getting by index, mapping, filtering etc.

MutableSeries

Like the Series but with methods for mutation.

ArraySeries

Basic array implementation of a MutableSeries

Map

A readonly key-value mapping. Can be created from and converted to associative arrays, will lose any non-scalar keys during conversion. Iterable over its entry objects. It is up to the implementation what type of keys are supported. It is strongly recommended to only use the same type of key for a map (can be enforced through static analysis tools).

Entry

An entry of a map.

SequencedMap

A Map with defined Order of keys

MutableMap

Like Map but with methods for mutation.

SequencedMap

A Map with defined Order of keys

HashMap

A Hashtable-like map implementation.

TreeMap

A Red-Black Tree SequencedMap implementation. Keys are ordered by their natural order (spaceship operator) by default.

Set

An accumulation where every element may only exist once

MutableSet

Like Set but with methods for mutation

SequencedSet

A Set with defined Order of keys

HashSet

Hash implementation of a Set. Uses HashMap in the background.

StrictSet

A Set implementation using php strict comparison.
