Laravel Extend Collections

A few extensions to the Laravel Collection and Arr.

Installation

composer require konsulting/laravel-extend-collections

Using Laravel

If you are using Laravel 5.5, this package will auto-register the service provider. However, if you have chosen not to auto-register, or are using an earlier version, add the CollectionsServiceProvider to your config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    Konsulting\Laravel\CollectionsServiceProvider::class,
],

Not using Laravel

There is a simple namespaced helper function to assist with extending Collection and Arr.

// Inside your application code, run:

\Konsulting\Laravel\load_collection_extensions();
