README

In PHP we often use simple arrays to contain our values. These arrays are not typed and often we end up with mixed types, leading to confusion later when we're looping over the values.

Collections are objects that can be typed, requiring that all values are declared, allowing you to type-hint against that precise type in your code.

Collections also provide additional functionality to assist you if you need to iterate over the values, find the first of a specific type, filter certain values out etc.

This package provides a base Collection which you can use on its own, or you can extend it to implement a specific type collection.

I've also provided a helpful collect() function which you can use in place of a typical class constructor. So instead of:

$collection = new Antnee\Collection\Collection([
    'Something',
    'Something',
    'Something',
    'Dark side,
]);

You can simply use this:

$collection = collect([
    'Something',
    'Something',
    'Something',
    'Dark side,
]);

Check out the tests to see some examples of how to use this class.
