Access collection items as objects properties

Coollection is Laravel's Illuminate\Collection repackaged to be used as all properties were objects:

$collection->name

$collection->addresses->first()->street_name

$collection->flatten()->cars->filter(function($car) { return $car->name == 'ferrari' })->last()->model

$countries->where('name.common', 'United States')->first()->currency->name->english;

Tightenco\Collect

To be agnostic and have complete idependence from Laravel's, but also to allow it to be used in Laravel applications, this package extends Tightenco\Collect, developed by Matt Stauffer from Tighten.

Why?

Answering with a question: which one is easier to look at?

collect(
    collect(
        collect(
            collect(
                $collection['cars']
            )->unique('constructor')['models']
        )->last()['model']
    )['colors']
)->first()['rgb']

or

$collection->cars->unique('constructor')->last()->model->colors->first()->rgb

Isn't this easier on the eyes?

collect($vimeo)->body->data->first()->metadata->connections->likes->total;

Or you prefer this one?

collect($vimeo)['body']['data'][0]['metadata']['connections']['likes']['total'];

Used with Laravel request it is useful, if you receive:

{"pagination":{"perPage":100,"pageNumber":1}}

You collect() it:

$input = coollect($request->all());

And you can just:

$input->pagination->perPage

Instead of:

$input->get('pagination')['perPage']

You can also use "dot notation" to get your items:

$input->get('pagination.perPage')

PHP Agnostic

This is an agnostic PHP package, an extraction of Illuminate\Support\Collection with all needed classes, interfaces and traits. For that if you wish just to use Illuminate's Collection, you just have to import the class Collection:

$collection = new IlluminateExtracted\Support\Collection(['my collection']); 

or use the usual helper:

$collection = collect(['my collection']); 

Documentation

It's Laravel's Collection, at full power, so you can check its docs. The only difference is that you can access items (array keys) as properties, like any other PHP object:

$collection->map($mapper)->reduce($reducer)->random()->address->street

$this->sendThanks(
    $collection->where('full_name', 'Barack Obama')->addresses->random()
);    

$countries->where('name.common', 'United States')->first()->currency->symbol;

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require mohamedahmed00/coollection

Usage

Instantiate, the class directly or using the helper:

$c = new Coollection(['first_name' => 'Barack Obama']);

$c = coollect(['first_name' => 'Barack Obama']);

Then you use it as an object:

echo $c->first_name;

// Barack Obama


echo $c->flip()->barak_obama == 'first_name' 
    ? 'true' 
    : 'false';

// true

One word keys are case insensitive:

echo $c->rio;
echo $c->RIO;
