Wrapper for arrays, plain objects and Eloquent

DataSource

A generic, wrapper object to easily access arrays, plain objects, laravel models using the dotted syntax.

For eloquent models, accessing and saving of related models is supported, even though not all the relationship kinds are there yet.

$source = new DataSource(new Customer());
$source['name'] = 'Frank';
$source['surname'] = 'Sinatra';
$source['details.email'] = '[e-mail]';
$source['details.twitter'] = '@therealfrankie';

$source->save();

Requirements

• PHP 5.5.0
• Laravel 4.2 or greater.

Laravel is not required if you only need to manipulate POJOs and arrays.
