Installation

The package supports Laravel 8.x and PHP >= 7.4.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require danilopolani/laravel-array-destructuring

Thanks to the package auto-discovery feature, it will register itself automatically.

Usage

Note: if a key is not found its value will be null. If all the elements inside a group of keys are not found, the returned value will be an empty array [].

Basic destructuring for a key only

$post = [
	'title' => 'Article 1',
	'slug' => 'article-1',
	'description' => 'Lorem ipsum',
	'tags' => ['foo', 'bar'],
	'gallery' => [
	    ['image' => 'image.jpg'],
	    ['image' => 'image2.jpg'],
	],
];

[$tags, $article] = Arr::destructure($post, 'tags');

dump($tags); // ['foo', 'bar']
dump($article) // ['title' => 'Article 1', 'slug' => 'article-1', ...] without tags

[$notFoundKey, $article] = Arr::destructure($post, 'notFoundKey');

dump($notFoundKey); // null

Destructuring with multiple keys

$post = [
	'title' => 'Article 1',
	'slug' => 'article-1',
	'description' => 'Lorem ipsum',
	'tags' => ['foo', 'bar'],
	'gallery' => [
	    ['image' => 'image.jpg'],
	    ['image' => 'image2.jpg'],
	],
];

[$tags, $gallery, $article] = Arr::destructure($post, ['tags', 'gallery']);

dump($tags); // ['foo', 'bar']
dump($gallery); // [['image' => 'image.jpg'], ['image' => 'image2.jpg']]
dump($article) // ['title' => 'Article 1', 'slug' => 'article-1', 'description' => 'Lorem ipsum']

Destructuring with multiple grouped keys

$post = [
	'title' => 'Article 1',
	'slug' => 'article-1',
	'description' => 'Lorem ipsum',
	'tags' => ['foo', 'bar'],
	'gallery' => [
	    ['image' => 'image.jpg'],
	    ['image' => 'image2.jpg'],
	],
];

[$slug, $meta, $article] = Arr::destructure($post, ['slug', ['tags', 'gallery']]);

dump($slug); // article-1
dump($meta); // ['tags' => ['foo', 'bar'], 'gallery' => ['image' => 'image.jpg'], ['image' => 'image2.jpg']]
dump($article) // ['title' => 'Article 1', 'description' => 'Lorem ipsum']

[$notFoundGroup, $article] = Arr::destructure($post, [['notFound1', 'notFound2']]);

dump($notFoundGroup); // []
