Description 

Author

This package can manipulate scalar data types as objects.

It provides a set of classes that wrap around several scalar data types so you can perform operations on them like regular objects.

Currently it provides wrapper classes for strings, dates, URLs, as well a wrapper for array elements.

PHP Object orientated types

A collection of helper classes that attempt to make dealing with PHP types a bit more Object Orientated Inspired by https://github.com/alquerci/php-types-autoboxing

Example usage

String

$string = "Here is a string that we will use for some examples        ";

// Implements __toString, so object instances can be used as plain old strings
$echoMe = GDM\Framework\Types\String::create($string);
echo $echoMe; // Outputs "Here is a string that we will use for some examples"

// Simple example
$truncateMe = GDM\Framework\Types\String::create($string);
echo $truncateMe->neatTruncate(10); // Outputs "Here is...";

// Most methods are Chainable
$chainMe = GDM\Framework\Types\String::create($string);
echo $chainMe->leftTrim("H")->upperCaseWords()->replace('/String/', 'Sentence'); // Outputs "Ere Is A Sentence That We Will Use For Some Examples "

Date

$date = "01/01/2014 14:35";

// Set global defaults
\GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DefaultDateSettings::$defaultTimeZone = 'Pacific/Auckland';
\GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DefaultDateSettings::$defaultDateFromat = 'd/m/Y';
\GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DefaultDateSettings::$defaultDateTimeFromat = 'd/m/Y H:i';
\GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DefaultDateSettings::$defaultLongDateFormat = 'l jS \of F Y';
\GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DefaultDateSettings::$defaultLongDateTimeFormat = 'l jS \of F Y h:i:s A';
// Or pass a settings object in
$settings = GDM\Framework\Types\Settings\DateSettings::create('Pacific/Auckland', 'd/m/Y', 'd/m/Y H:i', 'l jS \of F Y', 'l jS \of F Y', 'l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');

// Implements __toString, so object instances can be used as plain old strings
$echoMe = GDM\Framework\Types\Date::create($date, $settings);
echo $echoMe; // Outputs "01/01/2014 14:35"

// Long fromat
echo $echoMe->toLongDateTime(); // Outputs "Wednesday 1st of January 2014";

// Helpers
echo GDM\Framework\Types\Date::getDaysDiff("01/01/2014", "21/01/2014");  // Outputs "20"

foreach (GDM\Framework\Types\Date::daysOfTheWeek() as $day) {
            echo $day . "<br/>";
}// Outputs Monday
//      Tuesday
//      Wednesday
//      Thursday
//      Friday
//      Saturday
//      Sunday

URL

$urlString = "http://www.example.com/path/to/file?foo=bar";

// Implements __toString, so object instances can be used as plain old strings
$echoMe = GDM\Framework\Types\Url::create($urlString);
echo $echoMe; // Outputs "http://www.example.com/path/to/file?bar=foo"

// Url parameters are readable as propertie
echo $echoMe->foo; // Outputs "bar";

// You can also set properties
$echoMe->bar = "some-new-value";
echo $echoMe; // Outputs "http://www.example.com/path/to/file?foo=bar&bar=some-new-value";

// Path segements are array accessable
echo $echoMe[1];  // Outputs "to"

$echoMe[3] = "somewhere";
echo $echoMe; // Outputs "http://www.example.com/path/to/file/somewhere?foo=bar&bar=some-new-value";
