Since starting to work with Laravel as well as Drupal and Symfony, watching Adam Wathan’s Refactoring to Collections course as well as lessons on Laracasts, I’ve become a fan of Laravel’s Illuminate Collections and the object-orientated pipeline approach for interacting with PHP arrays.
In fact I’ve given a talk on using Collections outside Laravel and have written a Collection class module for Drupal 7.
I’ve also tweeted several examples of code that I’ve written within Drupal that use Collections, and I thought it would be good to collate them all here for reference.
Thanks again to Tighten for releasing and maintaining the tightenco/collect library that makes it possible to pull in Collections via Composer.
