Laravel / Lumen Collection extender

This is a set of Illuminate\Support\Collection items I use on a daily bases

Install

REQUIREMENTS

Laravel / Lumen version 9+

Installation

    composer require iambib/collection-extender

Currently available

$collection->recursive();
$collection->pushToKey($key, $value, ?$recursive);
$collection->toModel(?$model_class);
$collection->input($keys,?$default);
$collection->morphTo($object_class)

Examples

1. $collection->recursive()

From array / multidimensional array

$array = [
        'foo'=>'bar',
        'bar'=>[
            'foo'=>'Lorem',
            'bar'=>'Ipsum',
        ],
    ];

to Illuminate\Support\Collection

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#354 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#358 ▼
      #items: array:2 [▼
        "foo" => "Lorem"
        "bar" => "Ipsum"
      ]
      #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
    }
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

2. $collection->pushToKey('foo', 'newValue')

From single key value

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#354 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#358 ▼
      #items: array:2 [▼
        "foo" => "Lorem"
        "bar" => "Ipsum"
      ]
      #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
    }
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

To array key value

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#354 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => array:2 [▼
      0 => "bar"
      1 => "newValue"
    ]
    "bar" => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#358 ▼
      #items: array:2 [▼
        "foo" => "Lorem"
        "bar" => "Ipsum"
      ]
      #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
    }
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

3. $collection->toModel works in 2 different ways

With model class as param

$collection->toModel(\App\Models\User::class)

From collection

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#352 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => array:2 [▼
      "foo" => "Lorem"
      "bar" => "Ipsum"
    ]
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

or without model class as param

$collection->toModel()

Which will look for the key that is configured in collection-callback.php as a model_class_key

Config

return [
    'model_class_key' => 'model_name',
];

From collection

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#353 ▼ // packages/iambib/collection-extender/src/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:78
  #items: array:3 [▼
    ...
    "model_name" => "App\Models\User"
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

To Model

App\Models\User {#360 ▼
  #attributes: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => array:2 [▼
      "foo" => "Lorem"
      "bar" => "Ipsum"
    ]
  ]
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #appends: []
  #fillable: []
  #guarded: []
  #casts: []
  #rememberTokenName: "remember_token"
  #autoload_relations: []
}

4. $collection->input('bar.foo')

$default can be string or callback

From collection

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#352 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => array:2 [▼
      "foo" => "Lorem"
      "bar" => "Ipsum"
    ]
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

Returns

"Lorem"

$collection->input('bar.foo.empty','Not found')

Returns

"Not found"

5. $collection->morphTo(ApiResponse::class)

Morphs current collection into an object that you need

From collection

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#354 ▼
  #items: array:3 [▼
    "status" => true
    "data" => array:2 [▼
      "foo" => "bar"
      "bar" => array:2 [▼
        "foo" => "Lorem"
        "bar" => "Ipsum"
      ]
    ]
    "message" => "Success"
  ]
  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

to ApiResponse

ApiResponse {#361 ▼
  #status: true
  #data: array:2 [▼
    "foo" => "bar"
    "bar" => array:2 [▼
      "foo" => "Lorem"
      "bar" => "Ipsum"
    ]
  ]
  #message: "Success"
  #errors: null
}
