Phindexer

PHP data indexer that speeds up your data operations.

When you need to filter or search item from a collection, the operation could take time and effort to retrieve your data. And unless you index your data manually (with a hash strategy for example) the operation could slow down your program drastically.

This projects helps you to index your data and retrieve them simply and quickly.

Requirements

• php 7.1
• ext-json

Install

Performances

Here is some tests to check the performance. First we create a collection of 10,000 items then we launch 1000 searches on it. The PhindexerJob uses this lib to index the items, the ClassicJob do not index and iterates on items on each searches. The results vary depending on the computer.

Index and search on a collection

Using custom index

Maybe you want index your data with more complex condition. You can pass the function you want with ExpressionIndex:

Using collection of objects

The Collection class can also contains a set of objects. You can even mix objects and associative arrays.
When you index by key, the system tries to index the property. It can be a public properties or protected/private property if the getter function is available.

Add items in a collection

Once the collection is initialize, you can add items in it. You can even create an empty collection in one hand and add items in other hand. Added items are indexed the same way.

Here is an example with Collection, the same behavior exists with Collection:

Validation constraint

If you need to ensure the items have always the good structure, or the same type, you can specified some constraints in your collection.
The validation is checked on each items when the collection is instantiated, and on each item you add further.
