Since starting to work with Laravel as well as Drupal and Symfony, watching Adam
|
||
Wathan’s [Refactoring to Collections][0] course as well as [lessons on
|
||
Laracasts][6], I’ve become a fan of [Laravel’s Illuminate Collections][1] and
|
||
the object-orientated pipeline approach for interacting with PHP arrays.
|
||
|
||
In fact I’ve given a talk on [using Collections outside Laravel][2] and have
|
||
written a [Collection class module][3] for Drupal 7.
|
||
|
||
I’ve also tweeted several examples of code that I’ve written within Drupal that
|
||
use Collections, and I thought it would be good to collate them all here for
|
||
reference.
|
||
|
||
Thanks again to [Tighten][4] for releasing and maintaining the
|
||
[tightenco/collect library][5] that makes it possible to pull in Collections via
|
||
Composer.
