This tool expands dot-notated, string property references into their corresponding values. This is useful for run time expansion of property references in configuration files.

For example implementation, see Yaml Expander.

Installation

composer require grasmash/expander

Example usage:

Property references use dot notation to indicate array keys, and must be wrapped in ${}.

Expansion logic:

<?php

$array = [
    'type' => 'book',
    'book' => [
        'title' => 'Dune',
        'author' => 'Frank Herbert',
        'copyright' => '${book.author} 1965',
        'protaganist' => '${characters.0.name}',
        'media' => [
            0 => 'hardcover',
            1 => 'paperback',
        ],
        'nested-reference' => '${book.sequel}',
    ],
    'characters' => [
        0 => [
            'name' => 'Paul Atreides',
            'occupation' => 'Kwisatz Haderach',
            'aliases' => [
                0 => 'Usul',
                1 => 'Muad\'Dib',
                2 => 'The Preacher',
            ],
        ],
        1 => [
            'name' => 'Duncan Idaho',
            'occupation' => 'Swordmaster',
        ],
    ],

        1 => 'two',
        2 => 'three',
    ],

$expanded = $expander->expandArrayProperties($array);

putenv("test=gomjabbar");
$expanded = $expander->expandArrayProperties($array, $reference_properties);
