API¶
Static constructors¶
empty¶
Create an empty Collection.
Signature: Collection::empty(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::empty();
fromCallable¶
Create a collection from a callable.
Tip
This can be very useful when working with a PHP Generator, since it will allow the collection object to behave as if the Generator was rewindable.
Signature: Collection::fromCallable(callable $callable, iterable $parameters = []): Collection;
$callback = static function (): Generator {
yield 'a';
yield 'b';
yield 'c';
};
$collection = Collection::fromCallable($callback);
fromFile¶
Create a collection from a file.
Signature: Collection::fromIterable(string $filepath): Collection;
Collection::fromFile('http://loripsum.net/api');
fromGenerator¶
Create a collection from a Generator.
Warning
The difference between this constructor and fromIterable is that
the generator is decorated with a caching Iterator. Generators are not
rewindable by design and using fromGenerator automatically adds the
caching layer for you.
Tip
You can reproduce the same behavior by using fromIterable directly
followed by the cache operation.
Signature: Collection::fromGenerator(Generator $generator): Collection;
$generator = (static fn () => yield from range(1, 5))();
$generator->next();
$generator->next();
$collection = Collection::fromGenerator($generator)
->all(); // [0 => 3, 1 => 4, 2 => 5]
fromIterable¶
Create a collection from an iterable.
Warning
When instantiating from a PHP Generator, the collection object will inherit its behaviour:
it will only be iterable a single time, and an exception will be thrown if multiple operations which attempt
to re-iterate are applied, for example count(). To circumvent this internal PHP limitation, use
Collection::fromGenerator() or better Collection::fromCallable() which requires the generating
callable not yet initialized.
Signature: Collection::fromIterable(iterable $iterable): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c']);
fromResource¶
Create a collection from a resource.
Signature: Collection::fromResource($resource): Collection;
$stream = fopen('data://text/plain,' . $string, 'rb');
$collection = Collection::fromResource($stream);
fromString¶
Create a collection from a string.
Signature: Collection::fromString(string $string, string $delimiter = ''): Collection;
$data = file_get_contents('http://loripsum.net/api');
$collection = Collection::fromString($data);
range¶
Build a collection from a range of values.
Signature: Collection::range(float $start = 0.0, float $end = INF, float $step = 1.0): Collection;
$even = Collection::range(0, 20, 2); // [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
times¶
Create a collection by invoking a callback a given amount of times.
If no callback is provided, then it will create a simple list of incremented integers.
Signature: Collection::times(int $number = 0, ?callable $callback = null): Collection;
$collection = Collection::times(5); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
unfold¶
Create a collection by yielding from a callback with an initial value.
Warning
The callback needs to return a list of values which will be reused as callback arguments on the next callback call. Therefore, the returned list should contain values of the same type as the parameters for the callback function.
Signature: Collection::unfold(callable $callback, ...$parameters): Collection;

// Is the same as
$even = Collection::range(0, INF, 2);
$odd = Collection::range(1, INF, 2);
Methods (operations)¶
Background¶
Operations are pure functions which can be used to manipulate an iterator, either directly
or through the Collection object.
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use ArrayIterator;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
use loophp\collection\Operation\Filter;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
$input = [1, 2, 3, 4];
$even = static fn (int $value): bool => $value % 2 === 0;
// Standalone usage
$filtered = Filter::of()($even)(new ArrayIterator($input));
print_r(iterator_to_array($filtered)); // [2, 4]
// Usage via Collection object
$filtered = Collection::fromIterable($input)->filter($even);
print_r($filtered->all()); // [2, 4]
When used separately, operations typically return a PHP Generator or an Iterator.
When used as a Collection method, operations fall into a few main categories based on the return type:
- Operations that return a
booleanorscalarvalue:Contains,Count,Equals,Every,Falsy,Has,IsEmpty,Match(orMatchOne),Nullsy,Truthy. - Operations that return a
CollectionofCollectionobjects:Partition,Span. - Operations that return keys/values from the collection:
All,Current,Key. - Operations that return a new
Collectionobject: all other operations.
Note
The Key operation can return any value because Collection leverages PHP Generators,
which allow using any type as a key as opposed to array, which only allows int|string keys.
Note
Earlier versions of the package had most operations returning a new Collection object.
This was changed based on convenience and ease of use; typical usage of operations which return boolean values
would involve immediately retrieving the value inside, whereas for most other operations further transformations
are likely to be applied.
all¶
Convert the collection into an array, re-indexing keys using Collection::normalize() to prevent data loss by default.
Warning
An earlier version of this operation did not re-index keys by default, which meant at times data loss could occur.
The reason data loss could occur is because PHP array keys cannot be duplicated and must either be int or string.
The old behaviour can still be achieved by using the operation with the $normalize parameter as false.
Interface: Allable
Signature: Collection::all(bool $normalize = true): array;
<?php
/**

* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.

use loophp\collection\Collection;
use loophp\collection\Operation\All;
use loophp\collection\Operation\Filter;
use loophp\collection\Operation\Pipe;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
// Example 1 -> usage with "list" collection
$generator = static function (): Generator {
yield 0 => 'a';
yield 1 => 'b';
yield 0 => 'c';
yield 2 => 'd';
};
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($generator());
print_r($collection->all(false)); // [0 => 'c', 1 => 'b', 2 => 'd']
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($generator());
print_r($collection->all()); // ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
// Example 2 -> usage with "map" collection
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2]);
print_r($collection->all(false)); // ['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2]
print_r($collection->all()); // [1, 2]
// Example 3 -> standalone operation usage
$even = static fn (int $value): bool => $value % 2 === 0;
$piped = Pipe::of()(Filter::of()($even), All::of()(true))(new ArrayIterator([1, 2, 3, 4]));
print_r(iterator_to_array($piped)); // [2, 4]
append¶
Add one or more items to a collection.
Warning
This operation maintains the keys of the appended items. If you wish to re-index the keys you can use the
Collection::normalize() operation, or Collection::all() when converting into an array, which will apply
normalize by default.
Interface: Appendable
Signature: Collection::append(...$items): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable([1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3'])
->append('4'); // [1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3', 0 => '4']
Collection::fromIterable(['1', '2', '3'])
->append('4')
->append('5', '6')
->all(); // ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6']
apply¶
Execute callback(s) on each element of the collection.
Iterates on the collection items regardless of the return value of the callback.
If the callback does not return true then it stops applying callbacks on subsequent items.
Interface: Applyable
Signature: Collection::apply(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
$callback = static function ($value, $key): bool {
var_dump('Value is: ' . $value . ', key is: ' . $key);
return true;
};
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['1', '2', '3']);
$collection
->apply($callback)
->squash(); // trigger the callback
/* Will print:
string(22) "Value is: 1, key is: 0"
string(22) "Value is: 2, key is: 1"
string(22) "Value is: 3, key is: 2"
*/
associate¶
Transform keys and values of the collection independently and combine them.
Interface: Associateable
Signature: Collection::associate(?callable $callbackForKeys = null, ?callable $callbackForValues = null): Collection;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
// Example 1: Both callbacks are provided
$input = range(1, 5);
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->associate(
static function ($key, $value) {
return $key * 2;
},
static function ($value, $key) {
return $value * 3;
}
);
// [
// 0 => 3,
// 2 => 6,
// 4 => 9,
// 6 => 12,
// 8 => 15,
// ]
// Example 2: Only the callback for keys is provided
$input = range(1, 5);
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->associate(
static function ($key, $value) {
return $key * 2;
}
);
// [
// 0 => 1,
// 2 => 2,
// 4 => 3,
// 6 => 4,
// 8 => 5,
// ]
// Example 3: Only the callback for values is provided
$input = range(1, 5);
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->associate(
null,
static function ($value, $key) {
return $value * 3;
}
);
// [

// 2 => 9,
// 3 => 12,
// 4 => 15,
// ]
asyncMap¶
Asynchronously apply a single callback to every item of a collection and use the return value.
Warning
This method requires amphp/parallel-functions to be installed.
Warning
This operation is non-deterministic, we cannot ensure the order of the elements at the end. Additionally,
keys are preserved - use the Collection::normalize operation if you want to re-index the keys.
Warning
An earlier version of this operation allowed usage with multiple callbacks. This behaviour
was removed in version 5.0; asyncMapN should be used instead, or,
alternatively, multiple successive asyncMap calls can achieve the same result.
Interface: AsyncMapable
Signature: Collection::asyncMap(callable callback): Collection;
$mapper = static function(int $value): int {
sleep($value);
return $value * 2;
};
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['c' => 3, 'b' => 2, 'a' => 1])
->asyncMap($mapper); // ['a' => 2, 'b' => 4, 'c' => 6]
asyncMapN¶
Asynchronously apply one or more supplied callbacks to every item of a collection and use the return value.
Tip
This operation is best used when multiple callbacks need to be applied. If you only want to apply
a single callback, asyncMap should be preferred as it benefits from more specific type hints.
Warning
This method requires amphp/parallel-functions to be installed.
Warning
This operation is non-deterministic, we cannot ensure the order of the elements at the end. Additionally,
keys are preserved - use the Collection::normalize operation if you want to re-index the keys.
Interface: AsyncMapNable
Signature: Collection::asyncMapN(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
$mapper1 = static function(int $value): int {
sleep($value);
return $value;
};
$mapper2 = static function(int $value): int {
return $value * 2;
};
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['c' => 3, 'b' => 2, 'a' => 1])
->asyncMapN($mapper1, $mapper2); // ['a' => 2, 'b' => 4, 'c' => 6]
cache¶
Useful when using a resource as input and you need to run through the collection multiple times.
Interface: Cacheable
Signature: Collection::cache(?CacheItemPoolInterface $cache = null): Collection;
$fopen = fopen(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php', 'r');
$collection = Collection::fromResource($fopen)
->cache();
chunk¶
Chunk a collection of items into chunks of items of a given size.
Interface: Chunkable
Signature: Collection::chunk(int ...$sizes): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(0, 6))
->chunk(2); // [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5], [6]]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(0, 6))
->chunk(1, 2); // [[0], [1, 2], [3], [4, 5], [6]]
coalesce¶
Return the first non-nullsy value in a collection.
Nullsy values are:
- The null value:
null - Empty array:
[] - The integer zero:
0 - The boolean:
false - The empty string:
''
Interface: Coalesceable
Signature: Collection::coalesce(): Collection;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
$input = range('a', 'e');
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->coalesce(); // [ 0 => 'a' ]
$input = ['', null, 'foo', false, ...range('a', 'e')];
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->coalesce(); // [ 2 => 'foo' ]
collapse¶
Collapse a collection of items into a simple flat collection.
Warning
Key differences compared to flatten are that only one level will be collapsed and values at the bottom level will be removed.
Interface: Collapseable
Signature: Collection::collapse(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable([[1], [2, 3], [4, [5]]])
->collapse(); // [1, 2, 3, 4, [5]]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable([1, 2, [3]])
->collapse(); // [3]
column¶
Return the values from a single column in the input iterables.
Tip
If the iterables you are selecting from are Generators, the operation will allow
accessing keys of any type, not just int|string.
Interface: Columnable
Signature: Collection::column($column): Collection;
$records = [
[
'id' => 2135,
'first_name' => 'John',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
],
[
'id' => 3245,
'first_name' => 'Sally',
'last_name' => 'Smith',
],
[
'id' => 5342,
'first_name' => 'Jane',
'last_name' => 'Jones',
],
[
'id' => 5623,
'first_name' => 'Peter',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
],
];
$result = Collection::fromIterable($records)
->column('first_name'); // ['John', 'Sally', 'Jane', 'Peter']
$result = Collection::fromIterable($records)
->column('non_existent_key'); // []
combinate¶
Get all the combinations of a given length of a collection of items.
Interface: Combinateable
Signature: Collection::combinate(?int $length = null): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c'])
->combinate(2); // [['a', 'b'], ['b', 'c'], ['a', 'c']]
combine¶
Combine a collection of items with some other keys.
Note
When the two sets to combine are not equal in size, null is used as filling value.
Interface: Combineable
Signature: Collection::combine(...$keys): Collection;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'E'))
->combine(...range('e', 'a')); // ['e' => 'A', 'd' => 'B', 'c' => 'C', 'b' => 'D', 'a' => 'E']
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'e'))
->combine(...range('a', 'c')); // ['a' => 'a', 'b' => 'b', 'c' => 'c', 'd' => null, 'e' => null]
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->combine(...range('a', 'e')); // ['a' => 'a', 'b' => 'b', 'c' => 'c', null => 'd', null => 'e']
compact¶
Remove given values from the collection; if no values are provided, it removes nullsy values.
Nullsy values are:
- The null value:
null - Empty array:
[] - The integer zero:
0 - The boolean:
false - The empty string:
''
Interface: Compactable
Signature: Collection::compact(...$values): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 1 => 'b', null, false, 0, 'c'])
->compact(); // [0 => 'a', 1 => 'b', 5 => 'c']
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 1 => 'b', null, false, 0, 'c'])
->compact(null, 0); // [0 => 'a', 1 => 'b', 3 => false, 5 => 'c']
contains¶
Check if the collection contains one or more values.
Warning
The values parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
Interface: Containsable
Signature: Collection::contains(...$values): bool;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->contains('d'); // false
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->contains('a', 'z'); // true
$result = Collection::fromIterable(['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd'])
->contains('d'); // true
count¶
Returns the number of elements in a collection.
Tip
If you only want to check whether the collection is empty or not, use the isEmpty
operation as it will be significant more performant in a large collection.
Interface: Countable
Signature: Collection::count(): int;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->count(); // 3
current¶
Get the value of an item in the collection given a numeric index or the default 0.
If the given numeric index is out of bound, current will return a default value null
that can be modified by providing a second argument to the operation.
Interface: Currentable
Signature: Collection::current(int $index = 0, $default = null);
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->current(); // Return 'a'
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->current(0); // Return 'a'
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->current(1); // Return 'b'
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->current(10); // Return null
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->current(10, 'unavailable'); // Return 'unavailable'
cycle¶
Cycle indefinitely around a collection of items.
Interface: Cycleable
Signature: Collection::cycle(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
->cycle();
diff¶
Compares the collection against another collection, iterable, or set of multiple values. This method will return the values in the original collection that are not present in the given argument set.
Interface: Diffable
Signature: Collection::diff(...$values): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
->diff('a', 'b', 'c', 'x'); // [3 => 'd', 4 => 'e']
diffKeys¶
Compares the collection against another collection, iterable, or set of multiple keys. This method will return the key / value pairs in the original collection that are not present in the given argument set.
Interface: Diffkeysable
Signature: Collection::diffKeys(...$keys): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
->diffKeys(1, 2); // [0 => 'a', 3 => 'd', 4 => 'e']
distinct¶
Remove duplicated values from a collection, preserving keys.
The operation has 2 optional parameters that allow you to customize precisely how values are accessed and compared to each other.
The first parameter is the comparator. This is a curried function which takes first the left part, then the right part and then returns a boolean.
The second parameter is the accessor. This binary function takes the value and the key of the current iterated value and then return the value to compare. This is useful when you want to compare objects.
Interface: Distinctable
Signature: Collection::distinct(?callable $comparatorCallback = null, ?callable $accessorCallback = null): Collection;

Collection::fromIterable(range(10, 20))
->drop(2); // [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]
dropWhile¶
Iterate over the collection items and takes from it its elements from the moment when the condition fails for the first time till the end of the list.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
Interface: DropWhileable

->dropWhile($isSmallerThanThree); // [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3]
dump¶
Dump one or multiple items. It uses symfony/var-dumper if it is available,
var_dump() otherwise. A custom callback can be also used.
Interface: Dumpable
Signature: Collection::dump(string $name = '', int $size = 1, ?Closure $closure = null): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'e'))
->dump('Debug', 2); // Will debug the 2 first values.
duplicate¶

static fn (string $left): Closure => static fn (string $right): bool => $left === $right,
static fn (Cat $cat): string => $cat->name()
); // [3 => Cat<booba>]
equals¶
Compare two collections for equality. Collections are considered equal if:
- they have the same number of elements;
- they contain the same elements, regardless of the order they appear in or their keys.
Elements will be compared using strict equality (===). If you want to customize how elements
are compared or the order in which the keys/values appear is important, use the same operation.
Tip
This operation enables comparing Collection objects in PHPUnit tests using
the dedicated assertObjectEquals assertion.
Warning
Because this operation needs to traverse both collections to determine if
the same elements are contained within them, a performance cost is incurred. The operation will stop
as soon as it encounters an element of one collection that cannot be found in the other. However,
it is not recommended to use it for potentially large collections, where same can be used instead.

every¶
Check whether all elements in the collection pass the test implemented by the provided callback(s).
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
Interface: Everyable
Signature: Collection::every(callable ...$callbacks): bool;
$callback = static function (int $value): bool => $value < 20;
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range(0, 10))
->every($callback); // true
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range(0, 10))
->append(21)
->every($callback); // false
$result = Collection::fromIterable([])
->every($callback); // true
explode¶
Explode a collection into subsets based on a given value.
This operation uses the split operation with the flag Splitable::REMOVE and thus, values used to explode the
collection are removed from the chunks.
Interface: Explodeable
Signature: Collection::explode(...$explodes): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromString('I am a text.')
->explode(' '); // [['I', 'a', 'm', 'a', 't', 'e', 'x', 't', '.']]
falsy¶
Check if the collection contains only falsy values. A value is determined to be falsy by applying a bool cast.
Interface: Falsyable
Signature: Collection::falsy(): bool;
$result = Collection::fromIterable([2, 3, 4])
->falsy(); // false
$result = Collection::fromIterable([2, null, 4])
->falsy(); // false
$result = Collection::fromIterable(['', null, 0])
->falsy(); // true
filter¶
Filter collection items based on one or more callbacks.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
Tip
It is only when the callback returns true that the value is kept.
Tip
If you’re looking for keeping the value in the iterator when the return is false, see the reject operation.
Interface: Filterable
Signature: Collection::filter(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
<?php

$divisibleBy2 = static fn ($value): bool => 0 === $value % 2;
$divisibleBy3 = static fn ($value): bool => 0 === $value % 3;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 10))
->filter($divisibleBy3); // [3, 6, 9]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 10))
->filter($divisibleBy2, $divisibleBy3); // [2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 10))
->filter($divisibleBy2)
->filter($divisibleBy3); // [6]
find¶
Find a collection item using one or more callbacks. If the value cannot be found, that is, no callback returns true for
any collection item, it will return the $default value.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
Tip
This operation is a shortcut for filter + current.
Tip
It is only when the callback returns true that the value is selected.
Interface: Findable
Signature: Collection::find($default = null, callable ...$callbacks);
<?php
/**

$divisibleBy3 = static fn ($value): bool => 0 === $value % 3;
// Example 1: find a value and use the default `null` if not found
$value = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 10))
->find(null, $divisibleBy3); // 3
$value = Collection::fromIterable([1, 2, 4])
->find(null, $divisibleBy3); // null
$value = Collection::fromIterable(['foo' => 'f', 'bar' => 'b'])
->find(null, static fn ($value): bool => 'b' === $value); // 'b'
$value = Collection::fromIterable(['foo' => 'f', 'bar' => 'b'])
->find(null, static fn ($value): bool => 'x' === $value); // null
// Example 2: find a value and use a custom default if not found
$value = Collection::fromIterable([1, 2, 4])
->find(-1, $divisibleBy3); // -1
$value = Collection::fromIterable(['foo' => 'f', 'bar' => 'b'])
->find(404, static fn ($value): bool => 'x' === $value); // 404
// Example 3: use with a Doctrine Query
/** @var EntityManagerInterface $em */
$q = $em->createQuery('SELECT u FROM MyProject\Model\Product p');
$isBook = static fn ($product): bool => 'books' === $product->getCategory();
$value = Collection::fromIterable($q->toIterable())
->find(null, $isBook);
first¶
Get the first item from the collection in a separate collection. Alias for head.
The current operation can then be used to extract the item out of the collection.
Interface: Firstable
Signature: Collection::first(): Collection;
$generator = static function (): Generator {
yield 'a' => 'a';
yield 'b' => 'b';
yield 'c' => 'c';
yield 'a' => 'd';
yield 'b' => 'e';
yield 'c' => 'f';
};
Collection::fromIterable($generator())
->first()
->current(); // ['a' => 'a']
flatMap¶
Transform the collection using a callback and keep the return value, then flatten it one level.
The supplied callback needs to return an iterable: either an array or a class that implements Traversable.
Tip
This operation is nothing more than a shortcut for map + flatten(1), or map + unwrap.
Warning
Keys are preserved, use the Collection::normalize operation if you want to re-index the keys.
Interface: FlatMapable
Signature: Collection::flatMap(callable $callback): Collection;
$square = static fn (int $val): int => $val ** 2;
$squareArray = static fn (int $val): array => [$val ** 2];
$squareCollection = static fn (int $val): Collection => Collection::fromIterable([$val ** 2]);
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->flatMap($squareArray); // [1, 4, 9]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->flatMap($squareCollection); // [1, 4, 9]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->map($square)
->flatten(1); // [1, 4, 9]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->map($square)
->unwrap(); // [1, 4, 9]
flatten¶
Flatten a collection of items into a simple flat collection.
Interface: Flattenable
Signature: Collection::flatten(int $depth = PHP_INT_MAX): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable([0, [1, 2], [3, [4, [5, 6]]]])
->flatten(); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
$collection = Collection::fromIterable([0, [1, 2], [3, [4, 5]])
->flatten(1); // [0, 1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]
flip¶
Flip keys and items in a collection.
Interface: Flipable
Signature: Collection::flip(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'a'])
->flip();
Tip
array_flip() and Collection::flip() can behave differently, check the following examples.
When using regular arrays, array_flip() can be used to remove duplicates (deduplicate an array).
$dedupArray = array_flip(array_flip(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a']));
This example will return ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].
However, when using a collection:
$dedupCollection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'])
->flip()
->flip()
->all();
This example will return ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'].
foldLeft¶
Takes the initial value and the first item of the list and applies the function to them, then feeds the function with
this result and the second argument and so on. See scanLeft for intermediate results.
Interface: FoldLeftable
Signature: Collection::foldLeft(callable $callback, $initial = null): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->foldLeft(
static function (string $carry, string $item): string {
$carry .= $item;
return $carry;
},
''
); // [2 => 'ABC']
foldLeft1¶
Takes the first two items of the list and applies the function to them, then feeds the function with this result and the
third argument and so on. See scanLeft1 for intermediate results.
Interface: FoldLeft1able
Signature: Collection::foldLeft1(callable $callback): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable([64, 4, 2, 8])
->foldLeft1(static fn(float $carry, float $value): float => $carry / $value); // [3 => 1.0]
foldRight¶
Takes the initial value and the last item of the list and applies the function, then it takes the penultimate item from
the end and the result, and so on. See scanRight for intermediate results.
Interface: FoldRightable
Signature: Collection::foldRight(callable $callback, $initial = null): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->foldLeft(
static function (string $carry, string $item): string {
$carry .= $item;
return $carry;
},
''
); // [0 => 'CBA']
foldRight1¶
Takes the last two items of the list and applies the function, then it takes the third item from the end and the result,
and so on. See scanRight1 for intermediate results.
Interface: FoldRight1able
Signature: Collection::foldRight1(callable $callback): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable([8, 12, 24, 4])
->foldLeft1(static fn(float $carry, float $value): float => $carry / $value); // [0 => 4.0]
forget¶
Remove items having specific keys.
Interface: Forgetable
Signature: Collection::forget(...$keys): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'e'))
->forget(0, 4); // [1 => 'b', 2 => 'c', 3 => 'd']
frequency¶
Calculate the frequency of the items in the collection
Returns a new key-value collection with frequencies as keys.
Interface: Frequencyable
Signature: Collection::frequency(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'c', 'c'])
->frequency()
->all(false); // [1 => 'a', 2 => 'b', 3 => 'c'];
get¶
Get a specific element of the collection from a key; if the key doesn’t exist, returns the default value.
Interface: Getable
Signature: Collection::get($key, $default = null): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))->get(1) // [1 => 'b']
Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))->get(4, '') // [0 => '']
group¶
Takes a list and returns a list of lists such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument. Moreover, each sublist in the result contains only equal elements.
Interface: Groupable
Signature: Collection::group(): Collection;
Collection::fromString('Mississippi')
->group(); // [ [0 => 'M'], [1 => 'i'], [2 => 's', 3 => 's'], [4 => 'i'], [5 => 's', 6 => 's'], [7 => 'i'], [8 => 'p', 9 => 'p'], [10 => 'i'] ]
groupBy¶
Group items based on the provided callback.
Interface: GroupByable
Signature: Collection::groupBy(callable $callback): Collection;
$callback = static function () {
yield 1 => 'a';
yield 1 => 'b';
yield 1 => 'c';
yield 2 => 'd';
yield 2 => 'e';
yield 3 => 'f';
};
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($callback())
->groupBy(static fn (string $char, int $key): int => $key); // [1 => ['a', 'b', 'c'], 2 => ['d', 'e'], 3 => ['f']]
has¶
Check if the collection has values with the help of one or more callables.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
Interface: Hasable
Signature: Collection::has(callable ...$callbacks): bool;
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->has(static fn (): string => 'B'); // true
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->has(static fn (): string => 'D'); // false
$result = Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->has(
static fn ($value, $key): string => $key > 4 ? 'D' : 'A',
static fn ($value, $key): string => 'Z'
); // true
head¶
Get the first item from the collection in a separate collection. Same as first.
The current operation can then be used to extract the item out of the collection.
Interface: Headable
Signature: Collection::head(): Collection;
$generator = static function (): Generator {
yield 1 => 'a';
yield 1 => 'b';
yield 1 => 'c';
yield 2 => 'd';
yield 2 => 'e';
yield 3 => 'f';
};
Collection::fromIterable($generator())
->head()
->current(); // [1 => 'a']
ifThenElse¶
Execute a mapping callback on each item of the collection when a condition is met.
If no else callback is provided, the identity function is applied (elements are not modified).
Interface: IfThenElseable
Signature: Collection::ifThenElse(callable $condition, callable $then, ?callable $else = null): Collection;
$input = range(1, 5);
$condition = static function (int $value): bool {
return 0 === $value % 2;
};
$then = static function (int $value): int {
return $value * $value;
};
$else = static function (int $value): int {
return $value + 2;
};
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->ifThenElse($condition, $then); // [1, 4, 3, 16, 5]
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->ifThenElse($condition, $then, $else) // [3, 4, 5, 16, 7]
implode¶
Join all the elements of the collection into a single string using a glue provided or the empty string as default.
Tip
Internally this operation uses foldLeft, which is why the result will have the last element’s key.
Interface: Implodeable
Signature: Collection::implode(string $glue = ''): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->implode('-'); // [2 => 'a-b-c']
init¶
Returns the collection without its last item.
Interface: Initable
Signature: Collection::init(): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'e'))
->init(); // ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
inits¶
Returns all initial segments of the collection, shortest first.
Interface: Initsable
Signature: Collection::inits(): Collection;

Collection::fromIterable(array_combine(range('A', 'C'), $input))
->inits(); // [[], [['A', 'a']], [['A', 'a'], ['B', 'b']], [['A', 'a'], ['B', 'b'], ['C', 'c']]]
// To get only the values:
// Using `map` + `array_column`
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->inits()
->map(static fn (array $data): array => array_column($data, 1));
// [[], ['a'], ['a', 'b'], ['a', 'b', 'c']]
// Using the `pluck` operation
$var = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->inits()
->pluck('*.1');
// [[], ['a'], ['a', 'b'], ['a', 'b', 'c']]
intersect¶
Removes any values from the original collection that are not present in the given values set.
Interface: Intersectable
Signature: Collection::intersect(...$values): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'e'))
->intersect('a', 'b', 'c'); // ['a', 'b', 'c']
intersectKeys¶
Removes any keys from the original collection that are not present in the given keys set.
Interface: Intersectkeysable

Interface: Intersperseable
Signature: Collection::intersperse($element, int $every = 1, int $startAt = 0): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->intersperse('x');
foreach($collection as $item) {
var_dump($item); // 'x', 'a', 'x', 'b', 'x', 'c'
}
isEmpty¶
Check if a collection has any elements inside.
Interface: IsEmptyable
Signature: Collection::isEmpty(): bool;
<?php
/**

Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->isEmpty(); // false
Collection::fromIterable([])
->isEmpty(); // true
Collection::fromIterable([null])
->isEmpty(); // false
jsonSerialize¶
Returns the collection items as an array, allowing serialization. Essentially calls all(false),
which means the collection is not normalized by default.
See the section on serialization.
Interface: JsonSerializable
Signature: Collection::jsonSerialize(): array;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
Collection::fromIterable([1, 2, 3])
->jsonSerialize(); // [1, 2, 3]
Collection::fromIterable([1, 2, 3])
->filter(static fn (int $val): bool => $val % 2 !== 0)
->jsonSerialize(); // [0 => 1, 2 => 3]
Collection::fromIterable(['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2])
->jsonSerialize(); // ['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2]
key¶
Get the key of an item in the collection given a numeric index, default index is 0.
Interface: Keyable
Signature: Collection::key(int $index = 0);
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->key(); // Return 0
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->key(0); // Return 0
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->key(1); // Return 1
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])->key(10); // Return null
keys¶
Get the keys of the items.
Interface: Keysable
Signature: Collection::keys(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'd'))
->keys(); // [0, 1, 2, 3]
last¶
Extract the last element of a collection, which must be finite and non-empty.
The current operation can then be used to extract the item out of the collection.
Interface: Lastable
Signature: Collection::last(): Collection;
$generator = static function (): Generator {
yield 'a' => 'a';
yield 'b' => 'b';
yield 'c' => 'c';
yield 'a' => 'd';
yield 'b' => 'e';
yield 'c' => 'f';
};
Collection::fromIterable($generator())
->last()
->current(); // ['c' => 'f']
limit¶
Limit the number of values in the collection.
Interface: Limitable
Signature: Collection::limit(int count = -1, int $offset = 0): Collection;
$even = Collection::range(0, \INF, 2)
->limit(5); // [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
lines¶
Split a string into lines.
Interface: Linesable
Signature: Collection::lines(): Collection;
$string = <<<'EOF'
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
This is another sentence.
EOF;
Collection::fromString($string)
->lines(); // ['The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.', '', 'This is another sentence.']
map¶
Apply a single callback to every item of a collection and use the return value.
Warning
An earlier version of this operation allowed usage with multiple callbacks. This behaviour
was removed in version 5.0; mapN should be used instead, or,
alternatively, multiple successive map calls can achieve the same result.
Warning
Keys are preserved, use the Collection::normalize operation if you want to re-index the keys.
Interface: Mapable
Signature: Collection::map(callable $callback): Collection;
$square = static fn (int $val): int => $val ** 2;
$toString = static fn (int $val): string => (string) $val;
$appendBar = static fn (int $val): string => $val . 'bar';
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->map($square)
->map($toString)
->map($appendBar); // ['1bar', '4bar', '9bar']
mapN¶
Apply one or more callbacks to every item of a collection and use the return value.
Tip
This operation is best used when multiple callbacks need to be applied. If you only want to apply
a single callback, map should be prefered as it benefits from more specific type hints.
Warning
Keys are preserved, use the Collection::normalize operation if you want to re-index the keys.
Interface: MapNable
Signature: Collection::mapN(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
$square = static fn (int $val): int => $val ** 2;
$toString = static fn (int $val): string => (string) $val;
$appendBar = static fn (int $val): string => $val . 'bar';
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 3))
->mapN($square, $toString, $appendBar); // ['1bar', '4bar', '9bar']
match¶
Check if the collection matches a given user callback.
You must provide a callback that can get the key, the current value, and the iterator as parameters.
When no matcher callback is provided, the user callback must return true (the
default value of the matcher callback) in order to stop.
The returned value of the operation is true when the callback matches at least one element
of the collection, false otherwise.
If you want to match the user callback against another value (other than true), you must
provide your own matcher callback as a second argument, and it must return a boolean.
Interface: Matchable
Signature: Collection::match(callable $callback, ?callable $matcher = null): bool;

->nth(5); // [0 => 1, 5 => 6, 10 => 11, 15 => 16]
nullsy¶
Check if the collection contains only nullsy values.
Nullsy values are:
- The null value:
null - Empty array:
[] - The integer zero:
0 - The boolean:
false - The empty string:
''
Interface: Nullsyable
Signature: Collection::nullsy(): bool;
$result = Collection::fromIterable([null, false])
->nullsy(); // true
$result = Collection::fromIterable(['a', null, 'c'])
->nullsy(); // false
pack¶
Wrap each item into an array containing 2 items: the key and the value.
Interface: Packable
Signature: Collection::pack(): Collection;
$input = ['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd', 'e' => 'f'];
$c = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->pack();
// [
// ['a', 'b'],

pad¶
Pad a collection to the given length with a given value.
Interface: Padable
Signature: Collection::pad(int $size, $value): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 5))
->pad(8, 'foo'); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 'foo', 'foo', 'foo']
pair¶
Make an associative collection from pairs of values.

partition¶
Partition the collection into two subgroups of items using one or more callables.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
The raw Partition operation returns a generator yielding two iterators.
The first inner iterator is the result of a filter operation, it contains items
that have met the provided callback(s).
The second (and last) inner iterator is the result of a reject operation, it contains items
that have not met the provided callback(s).
When the partition operation is used through the Collection object, the two
resulting iterators will be converted and mapped into a Collection object.
The first inner collection contains items that have met the provided callback(s). The second (and last) collection contains items that have not met the provided callback(s).

pipe¶
Pipe together multiple operations and apply them in succession to the collection items.
To maintain a lazy nature, each operation needs to return a Generator.
Custom operations and operations provided in the API can be combined together.
Interface: Pipeable
Signature: Collection::pipe(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
$square = static function ($collection): Generator {

// Example 2 -> basic string keys
$input = [
['foo' => 'A', 'bar' => 'B'],

$collection->pluck('bar.baz'); // ['B', 'D']
$collection->pluck('*.baz'); // [[null, 'B'], [null, 'D']]
prepend¶
Push an item onto the beginning of the collection.
Warning
This operation maintains the keys of the prepended items. If you wish to re-index the keys you can use the
Collection::normalize() operation, or Collection::all() when converting into an array, which will apply
normalize by default.
Interface: Prependable
Signature: Collection::prepend(...$items): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable([1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3'])
->prepend('4'); // [0 => 4, 1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3']

->prepend('4')
->prepend('5', '6')
->all(); // ['5', '6', '4', '1', '2', '3']
product¶
Get the cartesian product of items of a collection.
Interface: Productable
Signature: Collection::product(iterable ...$iterables): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range('A', 'C'))
->product([1, 2]); // [['A', 1], ['A', 2], ['B', 1], ['B', 2], ['C', 1], ['C', 2]]
random¶
Returns a random item from the collection.
An optional integer can be passed to random to specify how many items you would like to randomly retrieve. An optional seed can be passed as well.
Interface: Randomable
Signature: Collection::random(int $size = 1, ?int $seed = null): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['4', '5', '6'])
->random(); // ['6']
reduce¶
Reduce a collection of items through a given callback.
Interface: Reduceable

reduction¶
Reduce a collection of items through a given callback and yield each intermediary results.
Interface: Reductionable
Signature: Collection::reduction(callable $callback, $initial = null): Collection;
$callback = static fn ($carry, $item) => $carry + $item;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 5))
->reduction($callback); // [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
reject¶
Reject collection items based on one or more callbacks.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation. However, due to the nature of this operation, the behaviour is the same.
Tip
It is only when the callback returns false that the value is kept.
Tip
If you’re looking for keeping the value in the iterator when the return is true, see the filter operation.

reverse¶
Reverse the order of items in a collection.
Interface: Reverseable
Signature: Collection::reverse(): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c'])
->reverse(); // ['c', 'b', 'a']
rsample¶
Take a random sample of elements of items from a collection. Accepts a probability parameter which will influence the number of items sampled - higher probabilities increase the chance of sampling close to the entire collection.
Interface: RSampleable
Signature: Collection::rsample(float $probability): Collection;
$collection = Collection::fromIterable(range(1, 5));
$collection->rsample(1.0); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
$collection->rsample(0.5); // will get about half of the elements at random
same¶
Compare two collections for sameness. Collections are considered same if:
- they have the same number of elements;
- they have the same keys and elements, in the same order.
By default elements and keys will be compared using strict equality (===). However,
this behaviour can be customized with a comparator callback. This should be a curried function
which takes first the left value and key, then the right value and key, and returns a boolean.
This operation will stop and return a value as soon as one of the collections has been seen fully or as soon as the comparison yields false for any key-value pair.
Interface: Sameable
Signature: Collection::same(Collection $other, ?callable $comparatorCallback = null): bool;

span¶
Partition the collection into two subgroups where the first element is the longest prefix (possibly empty) of elements that satisfy the callback(s) and the second element is the remainder.
The raw Span operation returns a generator yielding two iterators.
The first inner iterator is the result of a TakeWhile operation.

if (!file_exists('/doc/' . $doc)) {
throw new Exception('Nonexistent file');
}
return (string) file_get_contents($doc);
}
)

// If no exception, you can continue the processing...
$results = $results
->filter(
static function (string $document): bool {
return false !== strpos($document, 'foobar');
}
);
strict¶
Enforce a single type in the collection at runtime. If the collection contains objects, they will either be expected to implement the same interfaces or be of the exact same class (no inheritance logic applies).
Note that the current logic allows arrays of any type in the collection, as well as null.
Warning
This will trigger an InvalidArgumentException if the collection contains elements of mixed types when consumed.
Tip
The logic for determining the type of items comes from the TypedIterator. In addition, an optional callback can be provided to this operation if a different logic for type enforcement is desired.

tail¶
Get the collection items except the first.
Interface: Tailable
Signature: Collection::tail(): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c'])
->tail(); // [1 => 'b', 2 => 'c']
tails¶
Returns the list of initial segments of the collection, shortest last.
Similar to applying tail successively and collecting all results in one list.
Interface: Tailsable
Signature: Collection::tails(): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable(['a', 'b', 'c'])
->tails(); // [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['b', 'c'], ['c'], []]
takeWhile¶
Iterate over the collection items while the provided callback(s) are satisfied.
It stops iterating when the callback(s) are not met.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
Be careful, this operation is not the same as the filter operation.
Interface: TakeWhileable
Signature: Collection::takeWhile(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
$isSmallerThanThree = static function (int $value): bool {
return 3 > $value;
};
Collection::fromIterable([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3])
->takeWhile($isSmallerThanThree); // [1,2]
transpose¶
Computes the transpose of a matrix.
Interface: Transposeable
Signature: Collection::transpose(): Collection;
<?php
/**
* For the full copyright and license information, please view
* the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App;
use loophp\collection\Collection;
include __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';
// Example 1 -> classic matrix transpose
$collection = Collection::fromIterable([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
->transpose(); // [1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]
// Example 2 -> extract multiple keys
$records = [
[
'id' => 2135,
'first_name' => 'John',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
],
[
'id' => 3245,
'first_name' => 'Sally',
'last_name' => 'Smith',
],
[
'id' => 5342,
'first_name' => 'Jane',
'last_name' => 'Jones',
],
[
'id' => 5623,
'first_name' => 'Peter',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
],
];
$collection = Collection::fromIterable($records)
->transpose();
// [
// 'id' => [2135, 3245, 5432, 5623],
// 'first_name' => ['John', 'Sally', 'Jane', 'Peter'],
// 'last_name' => ['Doe', 'Smith', 'Jones', 'Doe']
// ]
truthy¶
Check if the collection contains only truthy values. Opposite of falsy.
A value is determined to be truthy by applying a bool cast.
Interface: Truthyable
Signature: Collection::truthy(): bool;
$result = Collection::fromIterable([2, 3, 4])
->truthy(); // true
$result = Collection::fromIterable(['a', '', 'c', 'd'])
->truthy(); // false
unlines¶
Opposite of lines, creates a single string from multiple lines using PHP_EOL as the glue.
Interface: Unlinesable
Signature: Collection::unlines(): Collection;
$lines = [
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.',
'',
'This is another sentence.',
];
Collection::fromIterable($lines)
->unlines();
// [
// 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
//
// This is another sentence.'
// ]
unpack¶
Opposite of pack, transforms groupings of items representing a key and a value into actual keys and values.
Interface: Unpackable
Signature: Collection::unpack(): Collection;
$input = [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ['e', 'f']];
$c = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->unpack();
// [
// ['a' => 'b'],
// ['c' => 'd'],
// ['e' => 'f'],
// ];
unpair¶
Opposite of pair, creates a flat list of values from a collection of key-value pairs.
Interface: Unpairable
Signature: Collection::unpair(): Collection;
$input = [
'k1' => 'v1',
'k2' => 'v2',
'k3' => 'v3',
'k4' => 'v4',
];
$c = Collection::fromIterable($input)
->unpair(); // ['k1', 'v1', 'k2', 'v2', 'k3', 'v3', 'k4', 'v4']
until¶
Iterate over the collection items until the provided callback(s) are satisfied.
Warning
The callbacks parameter is variadic and will be evaluated as a logical OR.
If you’re looking for a logical AND, you have to make multiple calls to the
same operation.
Interface: Untilable
Signature: Collection::until(callable ...$callbacks): Collection;
// The Collatz conjecture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture)
$collatz = static fn (int $value): array => 0 === $value % 2
? [$value / 2]
: [$value * 3 + 1];
$collection = Collection::unfold($collatz, 10)
->unwrap()
->until(static fn ($number): bool => 1 === $number);
unwindow¶
Opposite of window, usually needed after a call to that operation.
Turns already-created windows back into a flat list.
Interface: Unwindowable
Signature: Collection::unwindow(): Collection;
// Drop all the items before finding five 9 in a row.
$input = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18];
Collection::fromIterable($input)
->window(4)
->dropWhile(static fn (array $value): bool => $value !== [9, 9, 9, 9, 9])
->unwindow()
->drop(1)
->normalize(); // [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
unwords¶
Opposite of words and similar to lines,
creates a single string from multiple strings using one space as the glue.
Interface: Unwordsable
Signature: Collection::unwords(): Collection;
$words = [
'The',
'quick',
'brown',
'fox',
'jumps',
'over',
'the',
'lazy',
'dog.'
];
Collection::fromIterable($words)
->unwords(); // ['The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.']
unwrap¶
Opposite of wrap, turn a collection of arrays into a flat list.
Equivalent to Collection::flatten(1).
Interface: Unwrapable
Signature: Collection::unwrap(): Collection;
$asociative = Collection::fromIterable([['a' => 'A'], ['b' => 'B'], ['c' => 'C']])
->unwrap(); // ['a' => 'A', 'b' => 'B', 'c' => 'C']
$list = Collection::fromIterable([['a'], ['b'], ['c']])
->unwrap(); // ['a', 'b', 'c']
unzip¶
Opposite of zip, splits zipped items in a collection.
Interface: Unzipable
Signature: Collection::unzip(): Collection;
$a = Collection::fromIterable(['a' => 'a', 'b' => 'b', 'c' => 'c'])
->zip(['d', 'e', 'f', 'g'], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
$b = Collection::fromIterable($a)
->unzip(); // [ ['a','b','c',null,null], ['d','e','f','g',null], [1,2,3,4,5] ]
when¶
This operation will execute the given $whenTrue callback when the given $predicate callback
evaluates to true. Otherwise it will execute the $whenFalse callback if any.
Unlike the ifThenElse operation where the operation is applied to each element of the collection,
this operation operates on the collection directly.
Interface: Whenable
Signature: Collection::when(callable $predicate, callable $whenTrue, ?callable $whenFalse = null): Collection;
Collection::fromIterable([1, 2])
->when(
static fn() => true,
static fn(Iterator $collection): Collection => Collection::fromIterable($collection)->append(3)
); // [1, 2, 3]
window¶
Loop the collection yielding windows of data by adding a given number of items to the current item.
Initially the windows yielded will be smaller, until size 1 + $size is reached.
Tip
To remove the window size constraint and have a dynamic window size, set the $size to -1.
Note
When $size is equal to 0, the window will only contain the current element, wrapped in an array.
Interface: Windowable
Signature: Collection::window(int $size): Collection;

->window(-1); // [['a'], ['a', 'b'], ['a', 'b', 'c'], ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']]
words¶
Get a list of words from a string, splitting based on the character set: \t, \n, ' '.
Interface: Wordsable
Signature: Collection::words(): Collection;
$string = <<<'EOF'
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
This is another sentence.
EOF;
Collection::fromString($string)
->words();
// ['The', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumps', 'over', 'the', 'lazy', 'dog.', 'This', 'is', 'another', 'sentence.']
wrap¶
Wrap every element into an array.
Interface: Wrapable
Signature: Collection::wrap(): Collection;
$associative = Collection::fromIterable(['a' => 'A', 'b' => 'B', 'c' => 'C'])
->wrap(); // [['a' => 'A'], ['b' => 'B'], ['c' => 'C']]
$list = Collection::fromIterable(range('a', 'c'))
->wrap(); // [[0 => 'a'], [1 => 'b'], [2 => 'c']]
zip¶
Zip a collection together with one or more iterables.
Interface: Zipable
Signature: Collection::zip(iterable ...$iterables): Collection;
$even = Collection::range(0, INF, 2);
$odd = Collection::range(1, INF, 2);
$positiveIntegers = Collection::fromIterable($even)
->zip($odd)
->limit(100)
->unwrap(); // [0, 1, 2, 3 ... 196, 197, 198, 199]
