ArrayElementTransformer

Return the element at a given position of an array, using array_slice(). The position is based on the order of the elements, not on their keys, so it also works with associative arrays. Negative indexes are counted from the end.

Transformer reference

• Service: CleverAge\ProcessBundle\Transformer\Array\ArrayElementTransformer
• Transformer code: array_element

Accepted inputs

array

Possible outputs

any: the element found at the given position

Options

Code	Type	Required	Default	Description
index	int	X		Position of the element (0-based, a negative value starts from the end)

Examples

• Get the 2nd element: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] becomes 'bar'

# Transformer options level
array_element:
  index: 1

• Get the penultimate element: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] becomes 'bar'

# Transformer options level
array_element:
  index: -2

Notes

There is no bound check: an index outside the array triggers an "Undefined array key" warning.
