Karmabunny Helpers

Just a big bunch of your favourite utilities.

Most of these have been repurposed from Sprout.

Add more if you please.

Usage

Pin it loosely the latest major version.

composer require karmabunny/kb:^2

Code standard

Keep the dependencies to nil.

If you need them, then it doesn't belong in this library.

Must support php 7.0.

But feel free to slip in some ponyfills.

Add the damn tests.

Like, even just the happy-cases.

Running tests

Create tests whenever you can.

Run them like this: composer test.

Deprecation path

Mistakes happen (like Copyable) and sometimes you realise that your naming convention is terrible.

So when removing things, first mark them as @deprecated this should signal to anyone using the code that it'll disappear in the next major version.

As always, when deprecating + removing things always annotate your release tag. Imagine your life depends on getting it all in there. Is that a threat? Maybe.

Collections

Models! Models! Models!

Collections extends DataObject with some array-like, virtual, serializable stuff.

Some optional behavioural traits:

• UpdateStrictTrait
• UpdateTidyTrait
• UpdateVirtualTrait
• FieldsTrait
• CachedHelperTrait

Validators

Collection extensions:

• Doc Validator
• Rules Validator

Also the Validity class. Yay.

Loggable

Per-class logging utilities. Has logger forwarding. Kinda interesting.

Jobs

Generic type for crons and workers.

Reflect

Some useful reflection things.

Serialisation

• Json - normalised encode/decode with exceptions
• XML - now with templating
• Enc
• Url

Security

• secure random - bytes, string!
• hash password
• comparisons

Time

• utime, microtime as an integer
• time ago
• converting things between DateTime, DateTimeImmutable, DateTimeInterface
• date periods

Arrays

Non-standard or weakly supported things.

• array first
• array last
• fill w/ callback
• find w/ callback
• flatten!
• queries (aka value())
• create map
• normalise keys
• config loader!

The config loader is particular pleasant. It supports both traditional $config and modern return []; style configs. Combined with value() you can recreate Kohana::config() with ease.

Consts

• HttpStatus
• CountryNames

UUID

for v1, v4, v5 (the good ones)

Env

Environment loading from system or a config file.

Also isDocker() - super handy.

XML/Dom utils

• Parsing
• Validating
• XPath!
• 'expects'

URL

• Encode + decode
• URL builder

Shell utilities
