# Feature: #73752 - Allow accessing ObjectStorage as array in Fluid and other places {#feature-73752}

See [forge#73752](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73752)

## Description {#description}

Creates an alias of `toArray()` allowing the method to be called as `getArray()`
which in turn allows the method to be called transparently from
`ObjectAccess::getPropertyPath`, enabling access in Fluid and other places.

## Impact {#impact}

By creating an extremely simple aliasing of `toArray()` on ObjectStorage allowing
it to be called as `getArray()` enables:

```php
ObjectAccess::getPropertyPath($subject, 'objectstorageproperty.array.4') to get the 4th element
```

```text
{myObject.objectstorageproperty.array.4} in Fluid (including {myObject.objectstorageproperty.array.{dynamicIndex}} in v8)
```
