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 clay

Clay

Clay allows you to populate a model object with an array of data (from a database or other data store) without having to manually apply the values by hand. Data is applied to the model based on the name of each property, either directly or via setters if they are available. Clay supports nested array data and properties which contain other objects (in a multi layered data structure) as well as automatically converting keys to camel case when applying data to the model.

installation

Install via composer

composer require lexide/clay

Simple Example

To use Clay, a model should use the ModelTrait trait and implement a method which calls loadData()

class Model
{
    use Lexide\Clay\Model\ModelTrait;

    public $property;
    ...

    public function __construct(array $data = [])
    {
        $this->loadData($data);
    }

}

The model can then be instantiated, passing data to the constructor

$data = ["property" => "value", ...];
$model = new Model($data);

echo $model->property; // outputs "value"

Data with underscored or spaced keys will be applied to their camel case counterparts:

$data = [
    "long_field_name" => ... // will apply to the property "longFieldName"
    "property name with spaces" => ... // will apply to "propertyNameWithspaces"
];

Object instantiation

If you want a subset of the data to be contained within a second class, you simply need to type-hint the supplied argument in a setter

class Address
{
    use Lexide\Clay\Model\ModelTrait;

    public $street;
    public $city;

    public function __construct(array $data = [])
    {
        $this->loadData($data);
    }
}

class Customer
{
    use Lexide\Clay\Model\ModelTrait;

    protected $address;

    public function __construct(array $data = [])
    {
        $this->loadData($data);
    }

    public function setAddress(Address $address)
    {
        $this->address = $address;
    }

}

$data = [
    "address": [
        "street" => "1 test street",
        "city" => "exampleton"
    ]
]

$customer = new Customer($data);
echo $customer->getAddress()->city; // outputs "exampleton"

Object collections

The same can be done for an array or collection of objects. Clay looks for an "add" method for that property to determine the class to instantiate

class Customer
{
    use Lexide\Clay\Model\ModelTrait;

    protected $addresses = [];

    public function __construct(array $data = [])
    {
        $this->loadData($data);
    }

    public function setAddresses(array $addresses)
    {
        $this->addresses = [];
        foreach ($addresses as $address) {
            $this->addAddresses($address));
        }
    }

    public function addAddresses(Address $address)
    {
        $this->addresses[] = $address;
    }

}

$data = [
    "addresses": [
        [
            "street" => "1 Test street",
            "city" => "Exampleton"
        ],
        [
            "street" => "22 Sample row",
            "city" => "Testville"
        ]
    ]
]

$customer = new Customer($data);
