to_text() writes one line per row, so the frame has to be reduced to a single column first.
Examples
Writing
Description
Documentation
Writers are loaders: they consume Rows and decide what already at the destination means.
Code
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
use function Flow\ETL\Adapter\Text\to_text;
use function Flow\ETL\DSL\{concat_ws, data_frame, from_array, overwrite, ref};
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
data_frame()
->read(
from_array([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 30],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 25],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'Bob', 'age' => 35],
['id' => 4, 'name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 28],
['id' => 5, 'name' => 'Charlie', 'age' => 32],
])
)
->withEntry('line', concat_ws('_', ref('id'), ref('name'), ref('age')))
->select('line')
->collect()
->write(to_text(__DIR__ . '/lines.txt')->saveMode(overwrite()))
->run();
// the write is the lesson, so read it back and show it
echo file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/lines.txt');
