README

The doekenorg/iterator-functions package provides a curated set of array_* like functions for iterators in PHP. This package is built to encourage developers to make more use of Iterators by simplifying common tasks.

Available functions

All available functions are modeled after their array_* equivalent. But instead of returning an array it will return an Iterator instance. This means that you can use them in the same way, but get the added memory preserving benefits.

• iterator_column(\Traversable $iterator, $column_key, $index_key = null): ColumnIterator
• iterator_filter(Iterator $iterator, ?callable $callback = null): \CallbackFilterIterator
• iterator_flip(Iterator $iterator): FlipIterator
• iterator_keys(\Iterator $iterator): KeysIterator
• iterator_map(callable $callback, iterable ...$iterators): MapIterator
• iterator_reduce(\Iterator $iterator, callable $callback, $initial = null)
• iterator_values(\Iterator $iterator): ValuesIterator
• iterator_walk(\Iterator $iterator, callable $callback, ...$arguments): void

Note: There are no _diff or _intersect functions available, because these are not possible without forgoing on the memory benefits of iterators.

Available iterators

Where possible the functions make use of native iterators. Any missing iterators were added to this package.

• ColumnIterator - Iterator that returns a single column for the iteration array / object.
• FlipIterator - Iterator that flips the key and the value of the current iteration.
• KeysIterator - Iterator that returns only the keys of the provided iterator.
• MapIterator - Iterator that applies a callback to the elements of the given iterators.
• ValuesIterator - Iterator that returns only the values of the provided iterator.
