Collection type for PHP

Collection (PHPExtra\Type\Collection)

, _(*1)

Usage

Collection solve few things by implementing following interfaces: \Countable, \ArrayAccess, \Iterator, and \SortableInterface. This gives you an ability to count() collection, use a foreach on it, access it like an array $a[1] and sort its contents $a->sort($sorter). Apart from regular collections there are also LazyCollection's that allow you to specify a closure that will initialize collection contents only if it's needed., _(*2)

Create your first collection:, _(*3)

$collection = new Collection();

$collection->add('item1');
$collection->add('item2');
$collection->add('item3');

Use it:, _(*4)

echo count($collection); // returns 3
echo $collection[0]; // returns "item1"
echo $collection->slice(1, 2); // returns Collection with a length of 2 containing item2 and item3.
echo $collection->filter(function($element, $offset){ return $offset % 2 == 0; }); // returns sub-collection with all elements with even offset number
$collection->sort(SorterInterface $sorter); // sorts collection

Lazy collection example:, _(*5)

$lazy = new LazyCollection(function(){
    return new Collection(array(1, 2, 3));
});

echo $lazy[2]; // initializes the closure and returns "3"
