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.
Informations about the package sorting
Sorting
The sorting package contains tools to sort data structures like tables or collections of objects.
Sorting instructions are objects and can therefore easily be passed along as parameters. Multiple instructions can be chained in order to sort by several fields.
Installation
Install using composer:
composer require stratadox/sorting
Basic usage
2D Arrays
When sorting a collection of associative arrays, use:
Objects
In case the collection consists of objects, the sorting definition remain the same. Instead of using the ArraySorter, the ObjectSorter picks up the sorting requirements.
Method mapping
When the names of the methods do not correspond to the fields, or when a custom method is to be used for determining the sorting weight, a mapping can be given to the ObjectSorter:
Nested arrays
If the structure to be sorted consists of a list of nested arrays, one can use the NestedArraySorter:
Sorting by multiple fields
Or:
Or:
Structure
The sorting package consists of two core concepts:
- the sorting definition, which is used to declare the sorting requirements, and
- the sorter, which sorts the elements according to the given definition
This separation is maintained in order to decouple the intention of sorting from the data structure that is being sorted.
A sorting definition, for instance Sort::ascendingBy('name'), can be applied
to a collection of associative arrays or to a collection of objects - the client
that asks for the sorting does not need to know the internals of the elements
that are to be sorted.
When designing an interface that allows for sorting, a method might accept a
Sorting definition, eg. public function getSorted(Sorting $definition): array.
Implementors of this interface may use any sorter they see fit, so long as they
produce the expected results.
Some implementations may not even use any sorter at all, but instead take the sorting definition and produce a sorted list of results in a different way. An example of such usage might be a repository with an in-memory and an sql implementation:
