README

A few extensions to the Laravel Collection and Arr.

Installation

composer require konsulting/laravel-extend-collections

Using Laravel

This package will auto-register the service provider.

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();

Arr Extensions

• fromDot - convert an array where the keys are dot-notation indexed to a nested array

Collection extensions

• dropEmpty - drop items whose values are empty()
• deep - apply a function recursively through a collection, and through arrays/collections within it
• dotGet - retrieve an item using dot-notation
• dotSet - set an item using dot-notation
• dotHas - check if an item exists using dot-notation
• dot - now standard in Laravel as dot.
• fromDot - a little different to undot in Laravel.
