FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

DotAccess - Convenient Access to Nested Data Using Dot Notation
The DotAccess class provides a user-friendly wrapper around the functionality of the Dflydev\DotAccessData\Data package, allowing easy access to nested data using dot notation in PHP.
Installation
- Ensure you have Composer installed on your system.
- Run the following command to install the package:
Getting Started
-
Include the
DotAccessclass in your PHP script: - Create an instance of the
DotAccessclass and pass the nested data (array or object) to the constructor:
Accessing Data
The DotAccess class provides the following methods to access the nested data using dot notation:
Get the Value
Use the get() method to retrieve the value associated with a dot notation key:
Set the Value
Use the set() method to set a value for a dot notation key:
Checking for Key Existence
Use the has() method to check if a dot notation key exists in the data:
Removing a Key
Use the remove() method to unset the value associated with a dot notation key:
Example
Wrapper Function - DataKey:get()
In addition to the DotAccess class, we also provide a standalone wrapper function DataKey that simplifies accessing nested data using dot notation.
Usage
The DataKey:get() function allows you to quickly access nested data without having to create an instance of the DotAccess class. It takes three parameters:
- The data array or object to access.
- The dot notation key to access the data.
- An optional default value to return if the key is not found.
Here's how you can use the DataKey:get() function:
When to Use DataKey:get() vs. DotAccess
Both the DataKey:get() function and the DotAccess class serve the same purpose: accessing nested data using dot notation. The choice between them depends on your specific use case and coding preferences.
Use DataKey:get() when:
- You prefer a simple function call over creating an instance of the
DotAccessclass. - You only need to access nested data at a few specific points in your code.
- You don't need to perform multiple operations (e.g., setting, checking, or removing keys).
Use DotAccess class when:
- You need to perform multiple operations on the same nested data within your code.
- You prefer an object-oriented approach for handling nested data.
- You need better encapsulation and separation of concerns in your code.
Both approaches provide a convenient and user-friendly way to work with nested data using dot notation. Choose the one that best fits your coding style and requirements.
