Luminova Array Procedural Functions

A lightweight utility package for array operations offering procedural functions like array_find, array_all, and more. These functions are already supported in PHP 8.1 and later. This package provide backward compatibility for PHP 8.0.

Install via Composer

Recommend installation method:

composer require luminovang/array-functions

Include File

You can also use the function in another projects.

include_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/luminovang/array-functions/src/ArrayFuncs.php;';

Importing the Functions

You can import multiple functions at once using the use function syntax with braces around the function names:

use function Luminova\Procedural\ArrayFunctions\{
   array_find, 
   array_find_key, 
   array_any, 
   array_all
};

Importing a Specific Function:

To import a specific function, such as array_find, use the following syntax:

use function Luminova\Procedural\ArrayFunctions\array_find;

Example Usage

Finding an Element in an Array

The array_find function allows you to find the first element in an array that satisfies a given condition specified in a callback.

$result = array_find([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], fn(int $value) => $value > 3);

echo $result; // Output: 4

> In this example, array_find returns the first element greater than 3, which is 4.

Finding the Key of an Element in an Array

The array_find_key function searches for the first key where the corresponding value meets the given condition.

$result = array_find_key(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'], fn(string $value) => $value === 'banana');

echo $result; // Output: 1

> Here, array_find_key finds the key of 'banana', which is 1.

Another Example

Find key using str_starts_with.

$result = array_find_key(
   ['java' => 1, 'php' => 2, 'swift' => 3], 
   fn(int $value, string $key) => str_starts_with($key, 'p')
);

echo $result; // Output: php

> In this case, array_find_key returns the key 'php', where the key starts with 'p'.

Checking If All Elements Meet a Condition

The array_all function checks if all elements in the array satisfy the condition defined in the callback.

$result = array_all([2, 4, 6], fn(int $value) => $value % 2 === 0);
echo $result; // Output: true

> In this example, array_all returns true because all elements in the array are even numbers.

Checking If Any Element Meets a Condition

The array_any function checks if at least one element in the array meets the condition specified in the callback.

$result = array_any([1, 2, 3], fn(int $value) => $value > 2);
echo $result; // Output: true

> In this case, array_any returns true because one element (3) is greater than 2.
