API

Dot has a very small API and hoping to keep it small and to the point.

Dot::has($arr, $key)

Returns whether or not $arr has $key. Put another way, $key exists in $arr

Dot::get($arr, $key, $default = null)

Returns the value found in $arr by $key or $default provided

Dot::set(array &$arr, $key, $value)

Mutates the $arr by adding a new $key with $value provided

Dot::delete(array &$arr, $key)

Mutates the $arr by delete $key and its associated value if found
