Asit

Asit manages collections of elements stored in arrays.

It provides a base class that stores values in an array with functions that implement the iterator seekable and countable PHP interface operations.

The package also provides sub-classes that implement more specialized collection types that provide additional possibilities:

• Collection values can only be of a single type.
• Collection that use the keys as unique primary keys for finding elements by key value. Primary keys are replaceable.
• Collections that use more than one key unique primary keys for finding elements by key value.
• Collections that can have tags, non-unique (secondary) keys, for finding elements by tag value.

Class It manages array collections

• Implement SeekableIterator, Countable and IteratorAggregate methods,
• Collection elements are searchable using Iterator (et al.) methods
• The collection element may be of any value type.

Class ItList

• Extends It
• Assure collection elements of expected valueType

Class Asit manages assoc array collections

• Extends It
• The assoc element array key is used as (unique) primary key.
• A primary key may be replaced by another (unique) key.
• Has primary key collection element get-/set-methods
• Collection elements are also searchable using
  • primary key(s)
• For non-assoc arrays,
  • primary key is the (numeric) array index

Class AsitList

• Extends Asit
• Assure collection elements of expected valueType

Class Asmit

• Extends Asit
• Allow multiple (unique) primary keys for (each)) collection element.

Class Asittag

• Extends Asit
• Also secondary keys, additional (non-unique) tags (aka attributes?) may be set for each element.
• Collection elements are also searchable using
  • tag(s)
  • primary key(s) + tag(s)

Class AsittagList

• Extends Asittag
• Assure collection elements of expected valueType

Class Asmittag

• Extends Asmit
• Also secondary keys, additional (non-unique) tags (aka attributes?) may be set for each element.
• Collection elements are searchable using
  • Iterator (et al.) methods
  • primary key(s)
  • tag(s)
  • primary key(s) + tag(s)

Class AsmittagList

• Extends Asmittag
• Assure collection elements of expected valueType

But, review pros and cons not using some PHP built-in iterator class, ex ArrayIterator!
