Data Grids

Use component spiral/data-grid and spiral/data-grid-bridge to generate Cycle and DBAL select queries automatically, based on specifications provided by the end-user.

Installation

To install the component:

composer require spiral/data-grid-bridge

Note
Please note that the spiral/framework >= 2.7 already includes this component.

Activate the bootloader Spiral\DataGrid\Bootloader\GridBootloader in your application after the Database and Cycle bootloaders:

php
protected const LOAD = [
    // ...
    Spiral\DataGrid\Bootloader\GridBootloader::class
];

Usage

To use the data grid, you will need two base abstractions - grid factory and grid schema.

Grid Schema

Grid Schema is the object which describes how the data selector should be configured based on user input. Use Spiral\DataGrid\GridSchema:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid; 
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter\Like;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Pagination\PagePaginator;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter\Sorter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value\StringValue;

$schema = new DataGrid\GridSchema();

// allow user to paginate the result set with 10 results per page
$schema->setPaginator(new PagePaginator(10));

// allow use to sort by name
$schema->addSorter('id', new Sorter('id'));

// find by matching name, the value supplied by user
$schema->addFilter('name', new Like('name', new StringValue()));

Note
You can extend the GridSchema and initiate all the specifications in the constructor.

Grid Factory

To use the defined grid schema, you will have to obtain an instance of a supported data source. By default, the Cycle Select and Database Select Query are supported.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\GridFactory;
use Spiral\DataGrid\GridSchema;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter\Like;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Pagination\PagePaginator;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter\Sorter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value\StringValue;

$schema = new GridSchema();
$schema->setPaginator(new PagePaginator(10));
$schema->addSorter('id', new Sorter('id'));
$schema->addFilter('name', new Like('name', new StringValue()));

/**
 * @var App\Database\UserRepository $users 
 * @var GridFactory $factory
 */
$result = $factory->create($users->select(), $schema);

print_r(iterator_to_array($result));

If you want any of the specifications be applied by default, you can pass them next way:

php
/** @var Spiral\DataGrid\GridFactory $factory */
$factory = $factory->withDefaults([
    GridFactory::KEY_SORT     => ['id' => 'desc'],
    GridFactory::KEY_FILTER   => ['name' => 'Antony'],
    GridFactory::KEY_PAGINATE => ['page' => 3, 'limit' => 100]
]);

How to apply the specifications:

  • to select users from the second page open page with POST or QUERY data like: ?paginate[page]=2
  • to activate the like filter: ?filter[name]=antony
  • to sort by id in ASC or DESC: ?sort[id]=desc
  • to get count of total values: ?fetchCount=1

Note
These params are defined in the GridFactory, you can overwrite them.

If you need to count items using a complex function, you can pass a callable function via withCounter method:

php
/** @var Spiral\DataGrid\GridFactory $factory */
$factory = $factory->withCounter(static function ($select): int {
    return count($select) * 2;
});

Note
This is a simple example, but this function might be very helpful in case of complex SQL requests with joins.

Pagination specifications

Page Paginator specification

This is a simple page+limit pagination:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\GridSchema;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Pagination\PagePaginator;

$schema = new GridSchema();
$schema->setPaginator(new PagePaginator(10, [25, 50, 100, 500]));
// ...

From the user input, such paginator accepts an array with 2 keys, limit and page. If limit is set it should be presented in the allowedLimits constructor param.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Pagination\PagePagination;

$paginator = new PagePaginator(10, [25, 50, 100, 500]);

$paginator->withValue(['limit' => 123]); // won't apply
$paginator->withValue(['limit' => 50]);  // will apply
$paginator->withValue(['limit' => 100]); // will apply

$paginator->withValue(['limit' => 100, 'page' => 2]);

Under the hood, this paginator converts limit and page into the Limit and Offset specification. You are free to write your own paginator, like cursor-based one (for example: lastID+limit).

Sorter specifications

Sorters are specifications that carry sorting direction. For sorters that can apply direction, you can pass one of the next values:

  • 1, '1', 'asc', SORT_ASC for ascending order
  • -1, '-1', 'desc', SORT_DESC for descending order

Next specifications are available for grids for now:

Ordered sorters

AscSorter and DescSorter contain the expressions that should be applied with ascending (or descending) sorting order:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter;

$ascSorter = new Sorter\AscSorter('first_name', 'last_name');
$descSorter = new Sorter\DescSorter('first_name', 'last_name');

Directional sorter

This sorter contains 2 independent sorters each for ascending and descending order. By receiving the order via withValue we will get one of the sorters:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter;

$sorter = new Sorter\DirectionalSorter(
    new Sorter\AscSorter('first_name'),
    new Sorter\DescSorter('last_name')
);

// will sort by first_name asc
$ascSorter = $sorter->withDirection('asc');

// will sort by last_name desc
$descSorter = $sorter->withDirection('desc');

Note
Note that you can sort using different set of fields in both sorters. If you have the same set of fields, use sorter instead.

Sorter

This is a sorter wrapper for a directional sorter in case you have the same fields for sorting in both directions:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter;

$sorter = new Sorter\Sorter('first_name', 'last_name');

// will sort by first_name and last_name asc
$ascSorter = $sorter->withDirection('asc');

// will sort by first_name and last_name desc
$descSorter = $sorter->withDirection('desc');

Sorter set

This is just a way of combining sorters into one set, passing direction will apply it to the whole set:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter;

$sorter = new Sorter\SorterSet(
    new Sorter\AscSorter('first_name'),
    new Sorter\DescSorter('last_name'),
    new Sorter\Sorter('email', 'username')
    // ...
);

// will sort by first_name, email and username asc, also last_name desc
$ascSorter = $sorter->withDirection('asc');

// will sort by last_name, email and username desc, also first_name asc
$descSorter = $sorter->withDirection('desc');

Filter specifications

Filters are specifications that carry values. Values can be passed via the constructor directly. In this case the filter value is fixed and will be applied as is.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

// name should be 'Antony'
$filter = new Filter\Equals('name', 'Antony');

// name is still 'Antony' 
$filter = $filter->withValue('John');   

If you pass the ValueInterface to the constructor then you can use withValue() method. Then the incoming value will be checked if it matches the ValueInterface type and be converted.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// price is not defined yet
$filter = new Filter\Equals('price', new Value\NumericValue());

// the value will be converted to int and the price should be equal to 7  
$filter = $filter->withValue('7'); 

// this value is not applicable due to it is not numeric  
$filter = $filter->withValue([123]);

Next specifications are available for grids for now:

Note
There's much more interesting in the filter values and value accessors sections below

All

This is a union filter for logic and operation.

Examples with fixed values:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

// the price should be equal to 2 and the quantity be greater than 5
$all = new Filter\All(
    new Filter\Equals('price', 2),
    new Filter\Gt('quantity', 5)
);

Passed value will be applied to all sub-filters:

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$all = new Filter\All(
    new Filter\Equals('price', new Value\NumericValue()),
    new Filter\Gt('quantity', new Value\IntValue()),
    new Filter\Lt('option_id', 4)
);

// the price should be equal to 5, the quantity be greater than 5 and the option_id less than 4
$all = $all->withValue(5);

Any

This is a union filter for logic or operation.

Examples with fixed values:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

// the price should be equal to 2 or the quantity be greater than 5
$any = new Filter\Any(
    new Filter\Equals('price', 2),
    new Filter\Gt('quantity', 5)
);

Passed value will be applied to all sub-filters.

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$any = new Filter\Any(
    new Filter\Equals('price', new Value\NumericValue()),
    new Filter\Gt('quantity', new Value\IntValue()),
    new Filter\Lt('option_id', 4)
);

// the price should be equal to 5 or the quantity be greater than 5 or the option_id less than 4
$any = $any->withValue(5);

(Not) equals

These are simple expression filters for logic =, != operations.

Examples with a fixed value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$equals = new Filter\Equals('price', 2);       // the price should be equal to 2
$notEquals = new Filter\NotEquals('price', 2); // the price should not be equal to 2

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// the price should be equal to 2
$equals = new Filter\Equals('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$equals = $equals->withValue('2');

// the price should not be equal to 2
$notEquals = new Filter\NotEquals('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$notEquals = $notEquals->withValue('2');

Compare

These are simple expression filters for logic >, >=, <, <= operations.

Examples with a fixed value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$gt = new Filter\Gt('price', 2);   // the price should be greater than 2
$gte = new Filter\Gte('price', 2); // the price should be greater than 2 or equal
$lt = new Filter\Lt('price', 2);   // the price should be less than 2
$lte = new Filter\Lte('price', 2); // the price should be less than 2 or equal

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// the price should be greater than 2
$gt = new Filter\Gt('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$gt = $gt->withValue('2');

// the price should be greater than 2 or equal
$gte = new Filter\Gte('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$gte = $gte->withValue('2');

// the price should be less than 2
$lt = new Filter\Lt('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$lt = $lt->withValue('2');

// the price should be less than 2 or equal
$lte = new Filter\Lte('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$lte = $lte->withValue('2');

(Not) in array

These are simple expression filters for logic in, not in operations.

Examples with a fixed value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$inArray = new Filter\InArray('price', [2, 5]);       // the price should be in array of 2 and 5
$notInArray = new Filter\NotInArray('price', [2, 5]); // the price should not be in array of 2 and 5

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// the price should be in array of 2 and 5
$inArray = new Filter\InArray('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$inArray = $inArray->withValue(['2', '5']);

// the price should not be in array of 2 and 5
$notInArray = new Filter\NotInArray('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$notInArray = $notInArray->withValue(['2', '5']);

Third param allows auto-wrapping the ValueInterface with ArrayValue (enabled by default). In case you have a non-trivial value (or wrapped with an accessor value) pass false as 3rd argument to control the filter wrapping:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value\Accessor\Split;
use Spiral\DataGrid\SpecificationInterface;

$inArray = new Filter\InArray('field', new Split(new Value\ArrayValue(new Value\IntValue()), '|'), false);
$inArray->withValue('1|2|3')->getValue(); // [1, 2, 3]

Like

This is a simple expression filter for like operation.

Examples with a fixed value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$likeFull = new Filter\Like('name', 'Tony', '%%%s%%'); // the name should be like '%Tony%'
$likeEnding = new Filter\Like('name', 'Tony', '%s%%'); // the name should be like 'Tony%'

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// the name should be like '%Tony%'
$like = new Filter\Like('name', new Value\StringValue());
$like = $like->withValue('Tony');

Map

Map is a complex filter representing a map of filters with their own values.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

// the price should be greater than 2 and the quantity be less than 5
$map = new Filter\Map([
    'from' => new Filter\Gt('price', 2),
    'to'   => new Filter\Lt('quantity', 5)
]);

Passed values will be applied to all sub-filters, all values are required:

Examples with ValueInterface usage:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$map = new Filter\Map([
    'from' => new Filter\Gt('price', new Value\NumericValue()),
    'to'   => new Filter\Lt('quantity', new Value\NumericValue())
]);

// the price should be greater than 2 and the quantity be less than 5
$map = $map->withValue(['from' => 2, 'to' => 5]);

// invalid input, map will be set to null
$map = $map->withValue(['to' => 5]);

Select

This specification represents a set of available expressions. Passing a value from the input will pick a single or several specifications from this set.

Note
You just need to pass a key or an array of keys. Note that no ValueInterface should be declared.

Example with a single value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

// note, that we have integer keys here
$select = new Filter\Select([
    new Filter\Equals('name', 'value'),
    new Filter\Any(
        new Filter\Equals('price', 2),
        new Filter\Gt('quantity', 5)
    ),
    new Filter\Equals('email', 'email@example.com'),
]);

// select the second filter, will be equal to 'any' specification.
$filter = $select->withValue(1);

Example with multiple values:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$select = new Filter\Select([
    'one'  => new Filter\Equals('name', 'value'),
    'two'  => new Filter\Any(
        new Filter\Equals('price', 2),
        new Filter\Gt('quantity', 5)
    ),
    'three' => new Filter\Equals('email', 'email@example.com'),
]);

// the filter will contain both sub-filters wrapped in 'all' specification
$filter = $select->withValue(['one', 'two']);

Example with an unknown value:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$select = new Filter\Select([
    'one'  => new Filter\Equals('name', 'value'),
    'two'  => new Filter\Any(
        new Filter\Equals('price', 2),
        new Filter\Gt('quantity', 5)
    ),
    'three' => new Filter\Equals('email', 'email@example.com'),
]);

// filter will be equal to null
$filter = $select->withValue('four');

Between

This filter represents the SQL between operation, but can be presented as two gt/gte and lt/lte filters.

You have an ability to define whether the boundary values should be included or not. If the boundary values aren't included, this filter will be converted into gt+lt filters, otherwise when getting filters via getFilters() method you can specify either use the original between operator or gte+lte filters.

Note
Not all databases support between operation, that's why conversion to gt/gte+lt/lte is by default.

Between filter has two modifications: field-based and value-based:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$fieldBetween  = new Filter\Between('field', [10, 20]);
$valueBetween  = new Filter\ValueBetween('2020 Apr, 10th', ['start_date', 'end_date']);

Examples above are similar to the next SQL queries:

sql
#
field-based
select *
from table_name
where field between 10 and 20;
#
or using gte/lte conversion
select *
from table_name
where field >= 10
  and field <= 20;

#
value-based
select *
from table_name
where '2020 Apr, 10th' between start_date and end_date;
#
or using gte/lte conversion
select *
from table_name
where start_date <= '2020 Apr, 10th'
  and end_date >= '2020 Apr, 10th';

Example using ValueInterface:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// the price should be between 10 and 20
$fieldBetween  = new Filter\Between('price', new Value\NumericValue());
$fieldBetween = $fieldBetween->withValue([10, '20']);

// the '2020 Apr, 10th' should be between start_date and end_date
$valueBetween  = new Filter\ValueBetween(new Value\DatetimeValue(), ['start_date', 'end_date']);
$valueBetween = $valueBetween->withValue('2020 Apr, 10th');

Select render type:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter;

$between  = new Filter\Between('price', [10, 20]);

$between->getFilters();     // will be converted to gte+lte
$between->getFilters(true); // will be presented as is

$notIncludingBetween  = new Filter\Between('price', [10, 20], false, false);

// will be converted to gte+lte anyway
$notIncludingBetween->getFilters();
$notIncludingBetween->getFilters(true);

Note
The same is for ValueBetween filter

Mixed Specifications

Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Filter\SortedFilter and Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Sorter\FilteredSorter are special sequence specifications that allows using both filters and sorters under the single name.

Usage:

php

$schema->addFilter(
    'filter',
    new Filter\Select(
        [
            'upcoming'      => new Sorter\SortedFilter(
                'upcoming',
                new Filter\Gt('date', new DateTimeImmutable('now')),
                new Sorter\AscSorter('date')
            ),
            'mostReviewed'  => new Sorter\SortedFilter(
                'mostReviewed',
                new Filter\Lte('date', new DateTimeImmutable('now')),
                new Sorter\DescSorter('count_reviews')
            )
        ]
    )
);

Note
Using upcoming filter we apply both sorting and filtering.

Filter values

Filter values is the way of converting input type and its validation. Please don't use convert() method without validating the input via accepts() method. They can tell you is the input acceptable and converts it to a desired type if possible. Next values are available for grids for now:

Any

This value accepts any input and doesn't convert them:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\AnyValue();
 
$value->accepts('123'); // always true
$value->convert('123'); // always equal to the input

Array

This value expects an array and converts all of them according to the base value type. The input should not be empty:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// expects an array of int values
$value = new Value\ArrayValue(new Value\IntValue());
 
$value->accepts('123');   // false
$value->accepts([]);      // false
$value->accepts(['123']); // true
$value->convert(['123']); // [123]

Bool

This value expects a bool input, 1/0 (as int or strings), and true/false strings:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\BoolValue();
 
$value->accepts('123');   // false
$value->accepts('0');     // true
$value->accepts(['123']); // false
$value->convert('1');     // true
$value->convert('false'); // false

Zero-compare

These values are supposed to check your input if it is positive/negative/non-positive/non-negative according to the base value type:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$positive = new Value\PositiveValue(new Value\IntValue());       // as int should be > 0
$negative = new Value\NegativeValue(new Value\IntValue());       // as int should be < 0
$nonPositive = new Value\NonPositiveValue(new Value\IntValue()); // as int should be >= 0
$nonNegative = new Value\NonNegativeValue(new Value\IntValue()); // as int should be <= 0

Numbers

Applies numeric values, also empty strings (zero is also a value):

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$int = new Value\IntValue();         // converts to int
$float = new Value\FloatValue();     // converts to float
$numeric = new Value\NumericValue(); // converts to int/float

Datetime

This value expects a string representing a timestamp or a datetime and converts it into a \DateTimeImmutable:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\DatetimeValue();
 
$value->accepts('abc');     // false
$value->accepts('123');     // true
$value->accepts('-1 year'); // true
$value->convert('-1 year'); // DateTimeImmutable object

Datetime Format

This value expects a string representing a datetime formatted according to the given format. A datetime is converted into a \DateTimeImmutable, a datetime will be additionally formatted using the output format if the 2nd argument is passed:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\DatetimeFormatValue('Y-m-d');
 
$value->accepts('2020 Jan 21st');  // false
$value->accepts('2020-01-21');     // true

$value->convert('2020-01-21'); // DateTimeImmutable object

$value = new Value\DatetimeFormatValue('Y-m-d', 'F dS, y');
$value->convert('2020-01-21'); // January 21st, 20

Enum

This value expects an input to be a part of a given enum array and converts it according to the base value type. All enum values are converted also:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// expects an array of int values
$value = new Value\EnumValue(new Value\IntValue(), 1, '2', 3);
 
$value->accepts('3'); // true
$value->accepts(4);   // false
$value->convert('3'); // 3

Intersect

This value is based on an enum value, the difference is that at least one of the array input elements should match the given enum array:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// expects an array of int values
$value = new Value\IntersectValue(new Value\IntValue(), 1, '2', 3);
 
$value->accepts('3');    // true
$value->accepts(4);      // false
$value->accepts([3, 4]); // true
$value->convert('3');    // [3]

Subset

This value is based on an enum value, the difference is that all of the array input elements should match the given enum array:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// expects an array of int values
$value = new Value\SubsetValue(new Value\IntValue(), 1, '2', 3);
 
$value->accepts('3');    // true
$value->accepts(4);      // false
$value->accepts([3, 4]); // false
$value->accepts([2, 3]); // true
$value->convert('3');    // [3]

String

Applies string-like input, also empty strings (if a corresponding constructor param passed):

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\StringValue();
$allowEmpty = new Value\StringValue(true);

$value->accepts('');      // false
$value->accepts(false);   // false
$value->accepts('3');     // true
$value->accepts(4);       // true
$value->convert(3);       // '3'
$allowEmpty->accepts(''); // true

Scalar

Applies scalar values, also empty strings (if a corresponding constructor param passed):

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\ScalarValue();
$allowEmpty = new Value\ScalarValue(true);

$value->accepts('');       // false
$value->accepts(false);    // true
$value->accepts('3');      // true
$value->accepts(4);        // true
$value->convert(3);        // '3'
$allowEmpty->accepts('');  // true

Regex

Applies string-like input and check if it matches the given regex pattern, converts to string:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$value = new Value\RegexValue('/\d+/');

$value->accepts('');  // false
$value->accepts(3);   // true
$value->accepts('4'); // true
$value->convert(3);   // '3'

Uuid

Applies UUID-formatted strings, a user can choose which validation pattern to use:

  • any (just check the string format)
  • nil (special uuid null value)
  • one of [1-5] versions

The output is converted to string.

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$v4 = new Value\UuidValue('v4');
$valid = new Value\UuidValue();

$v4->accepts('');                                        // false
$v4->accepts('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000');    // false
$valid->accepts('');                                     // false
$valid->accepts('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'); // true

Range

This value expects an input to be a inside of a given range and converts it according to the base value type. Range boundary values are converted also. You can specify either the input can be also equals to the boundary values or not:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

// as it, expects the value be >=1 and <3
$value = new Value\RangeValue(
    new Value\IntValue(),
    Value\RangeValue\Boundary::including(1),
    Value\RangeValue\Boundary::excluding(3)
);
 
$value->accepts('3'); // false
$value->accepts(1);   // false

Not-Empty

If you need to check the value to be not empty first, wrap the value with NotEmpty():

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;

$int = new Value\IntValue();
$notEmpty = new Value\NotEmpty($int);

$int->accepts(0);      // true

Value accessors

Accessors act like values from the section above but have another purpose - you can use them to perform not-type transformations, for example using strings, you may want to trim the value or convert it to uppercase. They can be applied only if the value applicable by a given ValueInterface. Examples Below:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value\Accessor;

(new Accessor\ToUpper(new Value\StringValue()))->convert('abc'); // 'ABC'
(new Accessor\ToUpper(new Value\StringValue()))->convert('ABC'); // 'ABC'
(new Accessor\ToUpper(new Value\StringValue()))->convert(123);   // '123'
(new Accessor\ToUpper(new Value\ScalarValue()))->convert(123);   // 123

All supported accessors have the next handling order: perform own operations first, then pass them to a lower level. For example, we have add and multiply accessors:

php
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value;
use Spiral\DataGrid\Specification\Value\Accessor;

$multiply = new Accessor\Multiply(new Accessor\Add(new Value\IntValue(), 2), 2);
$add = new Accessor\Add(new Accessor\Multiply(new Value\IntValue(), 2), 2);

$multiply->convert(2); // 2*2+2=6
$add->convert(2);      // (2+2)*2=8

Next accessors are available for grids for now:

  • trim trims a string
  • toUpper converts a string to upper case
  • toLower converts a string to lower case
  • split splits a string using a given char into an array
