Helpers

Validator

Inspired by Validate (almost) anything in Laravel. Uses Laravel Validator class to validate anything.

EG. Validate Date (expects FALSE):

    tyler36\laravelHelpers\Helper::validate('20150230', 'date');

EG. Validate Date (expects TRUE):

    tyler36\laravelHelpers\Helper::validate('20150230', 'date');

Macros

Collections

These macros extend collection functionality.

pipe

Inspired by The pipe collection macro. Pass collection to a function.

$collect = collect([1, 2, 3])
    ->pipe(function ($data) {
        return $data->merge([4, 5, 6]);
    });

dd

Inspired by Debugging collections. Debug a collection by 'dump and die' the current state. Can be used mid-chain to break and dump.

collect($items)
  ->filter(function() {
     ...
   })
  ->dd()

ifEmpty

Run callback if collection is empty.

$items = collect([]);
$items->ifEmpty(function(){
    abort(500, 'No items');
});

ifAny

Run callback if collection has data ( >1 item).

$errors = collect(['Something went wrong']);
$errors->ifAny(function(){
    abort(500, 'There was at-least 1 problem');
});

mapToAssoc

Convert collection to associative array Inspired by Customizing Keys When Mapping Collections

$emailLookup = $employees->mapToAssoc(function ($employee) {
    return [$employee['email'], $employee['name']];
});
