README

Collect - Illuminate Collections

Import Laravel's Collections into non-Laravel packages easily, without needing to require the entire Illuminate\Support package. (Why not pull Illuminate\Support in framework-agnostic packages)

Written by Taylor Otwell as a part of Laravel's Illuminate/Support package, Collect is just the code from Support needed in order to use Collections on their own.

Lovingly split by Matt Stauffer for Tighten Co., with a kick in the butt to finally do it from @assertchris.

Installation

With Composer:

composer require tightenco/collect

FAQ

• Will this develop independently from Illuminate's Collections?
  No. Right now it's split manually, but the goal is for it shortly to be split automatically to keep it in sync with Laravel's Collections, even mirroring the release numbers.
• Why is the package tightenco/collect instead of illuminate/collect?
  It's not an official Laravel package so we don't want to use the Packagist namespace reserved by Laravel packages. One day Collection may be extracted from illuminate/support to a new package. If so, we'll deprecate this package and point to the core version.
• Why not just use an array?
  What a great question. Tighten alum Adam Wathan has a book about that.
