FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package nest

Nest

By Rick Hambrook

Build Status

Nest is a PHP class that lets you easily get and set values in nested arrays and objects without worrying about errors or missing data. You don't have to check if keys, properties or functions exist. It's all designed to fail gracefully.

Need a value from an array that is returned by a function that requires parameters on an object which is stored in an array? Nest will get it for you, or return a default value if the one you want isn't there. Easy.

You can get and set nested values. You can iterate over them with foreach. The only limitation is that you can't set the value returned by a function because, well, it's obvious.

Why do this...

When you could do this?

You don't have to worry about any key checks, or checking if things are set... Just fetch the value. You can specify a default value (null by default) to use in case the one you want isn't there. Focus on building great apps instead of validating data.

Example

Use a string as the path parameter

We're going two levels in this time, so use an array for the path

What if we try to get something that isn't there? Does it error?

Or we can specify our own default in case of error

Who is it for?

Nest is for working with arrays and objects were you aren't always sure of the data. It works great with the Config class for storing configuration data for other classes or CLI scripts. But it can be used anywhere.

Where are the exceptions?

Nest doesn't throw any exceptions, that's the rule. Nest was designed to fail gracefully with default values instead of using exceptions.

What about the performance hit?

Although Nest can be used anywhere, it was built primarily for CLI apps where milliseconds don't matter. I've kept speed in mind but it's not a primary concern. At some point I will add benchmarks and timing and see how much I can shave off the execution time.

Testing

Install PHPUnit globally, then run it on the tests/ directory.
