Plum is a data processing pipeline that helps you to write structured, reusable and well tested data processing code.

Developed by Florian Eckerstorfer in Vienna, Europe.

Plum is a data processing pipeline, that means it reads data, filters and converts it and then writes the data.

• Filters, converters and even writers are pipeline elements that can be attached to a workflow in arbitrary order
• Readers are iterators that can return values of arbitrary type: arrays, objects or scalars, it doesn't matter to Plum
• Conditional converters that are only applied to an item if it passes a filter
• Ability to concatenate workflow to create smaller and better reusable workflows
• Read from multiple sources, i.e., merge data from different sources into an output
• Plums power comes from its extendability, check out additional packages and integrations

Plum has been greatly inspired by ddeboer/data-import.

Here is a quick preview, but please check out the documentation.

use Plum\Plum\Workflow;
$workflow = new Workflow();
$workflow->addFilter(/* filter */)
         ->addConverter(/* converter */)
         ->addWriter(/* writer */);
$workflow->process(/* reader */);

You can install Plum using Composer (recommended) or by downloading a release.

$ composer require plumphp/plum
