A collection of interfaces for converting objects to arrays in different contexts.

Features

• Provides a standardized way to convert objects to arrays
• Includes specialized interfaces for different use cases (Admin, API, Plain)
• Simple implementation with no dependencies
• Fully typed with PHP 8.1+ generics support

Installation

composer require tourze/arrayable

Interfaces

Arrayable

The base interface for converting objects to arrays.

interface Arrayable
{
    /**
     * Get the instance as an array.
     *
     * @return array<TKey, TValue>
     */
    public function toArray(): array;
}

AdminArrayInterface

Interface for converting objects to arrays specifically for admin panel usage.

interface AdminArrayInterface
{
    /**
     * Return array data for admin interface
     */
    public function retrieveAdminArray(): array;
}

ApiArrayInterface

Interface for converting objects to arrays specifically for API responses.

interface ApiArrayInterface
{
    /**
     * Return array data for API response
     */
    public function retrieveApiArray(): array;
}

PlainArrayInterface

Interface for converting objects to simple one-dimensional arrays.

interface PlainArrayInterface
{
    /**
     * Return a simple one-dimensional array
     */
    public function retrievePlainArray(): array;
}

Usage

use Tourze\Arrayable\Arrayable;
use Tourze\Arrayable\AdminArrayInterface;
use Tourze\Arrayable\ApiArrayInterface;
use Tourze\Arrayable\PlainArrayInterface;

class User implements Arrayable, AdminArrayInterface, ApiArrayInterface, PlainArrayInterface
{
    public function toArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => 2,
            'name' => 'John Doe',
            'email' => 'john@example.com'
        ];
    }

    public function retrieveAdminArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => 2,
            'name' => 'John Doe',
            'email' => 'john@example.com',
            'created_at' => '2024-03-24',
            'last_login' => '2024-03-24 10:00:00'
        ];
    }

    public function retrieveApiArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'data' => [
                'id' => 2,
                'name' => 'John Doe',
                'email' => 'john@example.com'
            ],
            'meta' => [
                'version' => '1.0'
            ]
        ];
    }

    public function retrievePlainArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => 2,
            'name' => 'John Doe'
        ];
    }
}
