Using Laravel Collections...

Collections 👍
^ Became a fan of Collections whilst learning Laravel Powerful object orientated way to interact with arrays Store items within the collection, run methods, chainable More readable, less temporary variables Video on Laracasts, Adam Wathan's refactoring to Collections Wanted to use them with different PHP projects e.g. Drupal
collect(['foo', 'bar']); // ['foo', 'bar']
collect('foobar'); // ['foobar']
$object = new stdClass();
$object->foo = 'bar';
collect($object); // ['foo' => 'bar']
collect($object)->get('foo'); // bar
^ How do you make a collection? collect function is provided String, array or object Stored as items within the Collection object
$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 1, 'c', 2, 'd', 'e', 3, 4]);
$collection->count(); // 9
$collection->first(); // a
$collection->first(function ($item) {
return is_numeric($item);
}); // 1
$collection->contains(2); // true
$collection->contains([2, 10]); // false
$collection->filter(function ($item) {
return $item > 2;
}); // [3, 4]
^ Once you have a collection, what can you do with it?
"contains" - no more needle/haystack, haystack/needle
"filter" - filters false, null values
Can pass callbacks to first and filter, return true or false as needed.
$collection = collect([
['name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com', 'age' => 31],
['name' => 'Jane', 'email' => 'jane@example.com', 'age' => 27],
]);
$collection->pluck('name'); // ['John', 'Jane']
$collection->pluck('name')->sort(); // ['Jane', 'John']
$collection->filter(function ($person) {
return $person['age'] >= 30;
})->pluck('name'); // ['John']

^ This is great, but how can I do that in my Drupal code? How can I do that?
There’s a module for that!

[fit] There's not a module for that. 😞
- Me
^ Drupal 7
Version 1.0
Write my own Collection class
^ Wrote my own Collection class Wrote my own tests
^ Maybe 70% of what Laravel's could do.
^ Can't remember how, but then I found this.
Collect - Illuminate Collections as a separate package.
https://packagist.org/packages/tightenco/collect
Import Laravel's Collections into non-Laravel packages easily, without needing to require the entire Illuminate\Support package.

Use someone else’s Collection class
