PHP Collections

A collection library for PHP. It is used for convenient work with common data structures through functional approach. The main data structures are: List, Map, Stack, Queue, Set. Part of the library is a Stream API. It provides a more functional programming approach to iterating and processing elements.

Basic concepts

The library is based on a consistent approach to data processing and transformation. Creation of a kind of transformation pipeline where you can perform certain steps sequentially. Each step is responsible only for its own little piece of work. In this case, the steps can be reused since they are atomic.

Fundamentally, the library consists of several parts, these are:

• Data structures. Each structure has its own peculiarity, expressed through the interface and descriptions to it, and implementation. In this case, the implementation of the behavior of data structures can be different.
• Collection factory. The collection factory has many static methods for conveniently creating collections.
• Collection streams. Streams traverse and transform collections, with each transformation creating a new instance of the collection.
• Traversal and transformation functions. The function set consists of pre-prepared function constructors for easy use during the traversal. By their example, you can create and use your own functions that are more specific to your subject area.

Data structures

The library is based on the most popular data structures that are self-sufficient for use without any extraneous libraries and classes. All other parts of the library rely on these structures, in particular the Collection interface. All collection data structures contain many elements with which you can perform basic procedures, such as: traversal, transformation, aggregation, etc.

• Collection
• List (ListSequence)
• Set
• Queue
• Stack
• Map

Collection

[↑ Data structures]

Collection - the main base interface for collections. All data structures except for maps (Map) implement this interface, all additional functionality (Factories, Traversal threads) use this interface. To maintain universality in your applications, it is recommended to use the Collection interface, but only if it does not contradict the purpose of using the structure.

Collections are traversable using a loop.

Interface methods

• add – Adding an item to a collection
• addAll – Adding multiple items to a collection
• merge – Merging collections
• clear – Removing all elements of the collection
• remove – Removing a collection item
• contains – Checking for the existence of an element in a collection
• equals – Comparing two collections for equivalence
• size – Getting the number of items in a collection
• isEmpty – Checking a collection for emptiness
• toArray – Getting the elements of a collection as an array
• copy – Getting a copy of a collection
• stream – Getting a collection traversal stream (Stream)
• Traversing a collection with a foreach loop

add - Adding an item to a collection

[↑ Collection]

Adds an item to the end of the collection. Returns true on success orfalse on failure.

addAll - Adding multiple items to a collection

[↑ Collection]

Adds multiple items to the end of the collection. Returns true on success orfalse on failure.

merge - Merging collections

[↑ Collection]

The method merges the current collection with the passed one. Returns true on success orfalse on failure.

clear - Removing all elements of the collection

[↑ Collection]

The method removes all elements of the collection.

remove - Removing a collection item

[↑ Collection]

Removing a specific item in the collection. The method returns a sign of deleting an element. If the element did not exist, it will return false.

contains - Checking for the existence of an element in a collection

[↑ Collection]

Checking if a specific item exists in the collection. If the element does not exist, it will return false.

equals - Comparing two collections for equivalence

[↑ Collection]

The method checks that the passed collection is equal to the current one, which means that all the elements of one collection are contained in another collection and the number of elements is equal. In case of inequality of collections, it will return false.

size - Getting the number of items in a collection

[↑ Collection]

The method returns the number of elements in the collection. If the collection is empty - 0.

isEmpty - Checking a collection for emptiness

[↑ Collection]

The method returns an attribute of an empty collection. If there are elements in the collection, it will return false.

toArray - Getting the elements of a collection as an array

[↑ Collection]

An indexed array method consisting of collection elements, the order of the elements depends on the internal representation.

copy - Getting a copy of a collection

[↑ Collection]

The method returns an exact copy of the collection. Collections are mutable. This means that using modification methods modifies the collection; to ensure that the collection is immutable, it is recommended to use the copy method.

stream - Getting a collection traversal stream (Stream)

[↑ Collection]

Method an object that implements the collection traversal interface (Stream). The collection traversal thread is a very powerful tool, and in most cases you have to deal with it during development. [More ...](#Collection streams)

Traversing a collection with a foreach loop

[↑ Collection]

Collections are traversable in a foreach loop. The collection iteration order depends on the internal implementation of a particular class.

List (ListSequence)

[↑ Data structures]

A list is a data structure in which the order of elements is strictly defined. Lists with the same set of items and different ordering are not equal. The ListSequence interface extends the Collection interface.

ListSequence interface extends interfaces:

Classes implement ListSequence interface:

Interface methods

• get – Getting an item by ordinal
• set – Replacing a list item
• indexOf – Getting the ordinal index of an element
• lastIndexOf – Getting the ordinal index of the last matched item
• removeAt – Removing an element by index

get - Getting an item by ordinal

[↑ List (ListSequence)]

The method returns the item by index. If no element exists at the index, it will return null. The first element of the list has index 0.

set - Replacing a list item

[↑ List (ListSequence)]

The method replaces the element by an index. Returns the value of the element that has been replaced by the current method. If an attempt is made to replace a non-existing element, an OutOfRangeException will be thrown.

indexOf - Getting the ordinal index of an element

[↑ List (ListSequence)]

The method returns the first index of the found element. If there is no value in the list, it will return null.

lastIndexOf - Getting the ordinal index of the last matched item

The method returns the last index of the found element. If there is no value in the list, it will return null.

removeAt - Removing an element by index

[↑ List (ListSequence)]

The method removes an element by an index, elements after the deleted index move closer to the beginning by one position. Returns the value of the removed item. If there is no element by the index, it will return null.

Set

[↑ Data structures]

The set contains only unique elements, the order of the elements can be arbitrary. That is, adding an element using the add method does not guarantee its last place among other elements during iteration, and if there is an element with the same value, the latter will not be added to the set.

Uniqueness is determined by the value, and for objects either by the uniqueness of a specific object, or, if the object implements the HashCodeAware interface, by the uniqueness of the result of calling the getHashCode (): string;.

Set interface extends base interfaces:

Classes implement Set interface:

Queue

[↑ Data structures]

A data structure such as a queue is convenient for sequential processing of data in the order of arrival. It has convenient methods for adding and consuming items. The first element that got into the queue is the first and will leave it.

• poll – Getting an item and removing it from the queue
• peek – Getting an item without removing it from the queue

peek - Getting the last added item without modifying the stack

[↑ Stack]

The method returns the item at the top of the stack. If there are no elements on the stack, a RuntimeException will be thrown.

Map

[↑ Data structures]

Map interface represents a mapping, or in other words a dictionary, where each element represents a key-value pair. Map keys are unique in value, if they are objects, then uniqueness is achieved either by the uniqueness of the reference to the object, or if the object implements the HashCodeAware interface by the uniqueness of the result of calling the methodgetHashCode (): string;.

Collection factory

[↑ Up]

The CollectionFactory factory allows you to create collection objects without using an implementation-specific constructor, or also has other convenient methods for creating collection objects. At the moment, the main structure of the library is ArrayList, which is generated by the factory in static methods.

Example

Collection creation factory methods

• CollectionFactory::from – Generating a collection from an array of elements
• CollectionFactory::fromIterable – Generating a collection using any iterable
• CollectionFactory::numbers – Generating a collection of a sequence of integers
• CollectionFactory::generate – Generating a collection using a generator
• MapFactory::fromIterable – Map generation from any iterated value
• MapFactory::assoc – Map generation from associative array

CollectionFactory::from - Generating a collection from an array of elements

[↑ Collection factory]

The method creates a collection whose elements consist of the elements of the passed array.

At the moment, the implementation of the collection is ArrayList, in the future the specific implementation may change, when calling this method, you should rely only on the Collection interface.

CollectionFactory::fromIterable - Generating a collection using any iterable

[↑ Collection factory]

The method creates a collection whose elements consist of the elements of the passed iterator.

At the moment, the implementation of the collection is ArrayList, in the future the specific implementation may change, when calling this method, you should rely only on the Collection interface.

_CollectionFactory::numbers - Generating a collection of a sequence of integers

[↑ Collection factory]

The method creates a collection whose elements consist of a sequence of integers [$ from .. $ to]. If the $ to parameter is not passed, the[0 .. $ from]collection will be returned.

At the moment, the implementation of the collection is ArrayList, in the future the specific implementation may change, when calling this method, you should rely only on theCollection interface.

CollectionFactory::generate - Generating a collection using a generator

[↑ Collection factory]

The method creates a collection of size $ times, whose elements consist of the values of the results of calling the generator$ generator.

At the moment, the implementation of the collection is ArrayList, in the future the specific implementation may change, when calling this method, you should rely only on theCollection interface. If you need a specific type of a collection instance, you need to use implementation constructors or their static methods.

MapFactory::fromIterable - Map generating from any iterated value

[↑ Collection factory]

Method created map object from any iterated object.

MapFactory::assoc - Map generating from associative array

[↑ Collection factory]

Method creates map object from associative array.

Collection streams

[↑ Up]

For more convenient traversal and conversion of collections, you must use Streams. Basically all computation should be done via stream. To get a stream, you need to call the collection method Collection::stream ().

Processing a collection with stream occurs through the execution of functions, the interfaces of which must match the traversal / transformation purpose. There are six of them:

• Predicate. Used to filter elements filter, the element remains in the stream collection in case the predicate called for this element returns a boolean positive value. The library already contains some prepared predicates.
• Converter. Functions of this type are used to transform the map stream collection. The converter must return a value that, by some attribute, corresponds to the passed element of the collection. The library already contains some prepared converters.
• Consumer. Consumer functions do not modify the stream collection, but are used to traverse the each collection. The passed function will be called for each element of the collection; the result of the function is not taken into account. The library already contains some prepared consumers.
• Comparator. Comparators participate in sorting items to determine the sort order of two values. Must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. php.net usort. The library already contains some prepared comparison functions.
• Reorganizer. Conversion functions convert one collection to another reorganize without changing the stream object. Transformations are necessary when you need to get the final collection not just by transforming one element to another, but to form a new collection based on all the information in the original collection. Examples are methods for shuffling shuffle elements or forming chunks. The library already contains some prepared reorganizers.
• Collector. Data collection functions are applied to a stream using the collect method, in fact, the result of executing the functions of this group will be the result of executing the stream. The collect method is terminal, that is, calling this method terminates the stream.

All streams belong to the Stream interface, which means that the description of the interface guarantees its correct execution regardless of the specific implementation, exceptions are only special cases of stream behavior (when).

Stream`s guarantee that after each modification method the getCollection method will return different object instances, which is a safe way from a security point of view to maintain immutability during conversion.

each - Traversing collection items

[↑ Streams]

The method applies the $ consumer function to each element of the stream collection. The result of the function is not considered. Calling the each method does not change the collection of the stream, but at the same time accesses every item in the collection.

walk - A limited traversal of collection items

[↑ Streams]

The method applies the $consumer function to each element of the stream collection, just as it does in the each method. The result of the function is not considered. Calling the each method does not change the collection of the stream, but at the same time accesses every item in the collection.

filter - Filtering collection items

[↑ Streams]

The method applies the $ predicate function to each element of the stream collection. If the call to the predicate from the elements returns a negative result - false, 0, ', [], the element is excluded from the collection.

map - Converting stream collection items

[↑ Streams]

The method applies a stream to each element of the collection, replaces the passed elements of the collection with the results of the function execution.

reorganize - Stream collection conversion

[↑ Streams]

The method applies $reorganizer to the inner collection, then replaces the inner collection with the result of the method call. Needed when conversions should be performed based on data from a complete collection.

collect - Collecting data

[↑ Streams]

The method applies $collector to the internal collection and returns the result. It is necessary when you need to perform the final action on the collection using a stream. Terminal method.

sort - Sorting items in a collection

[↑ Streams]

The method sorts the items according to the work of the $comparator. The comparator determines the sort order of the two values. Must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. php.net usort

sortDesc - Sorting elements of a collection in reverse order

[↑ Streams]

The method sorts the elements according to the work of the $ comparator, but unlike the usual sort function, the elements will be arranged in descending order. The compiler determines the sort order of the two values. Must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. php.net usort

sortBy Sorting collection items by value

[↑ Streams]

The method sorts the elements according to the received value of the $ extractor function for each element. The function must return a scalar value to enable independent optimized sorting. The method of sorting by value in reverse order sortByDesc works similarly.

reduce - Reducing a collection into a single value

[↑ Streams]

The method converts the collection to a single value. The function is passed the values $el of the iterable element and the result of calling the same function on the previous element$carry. In the first iteration, $carry === null. Terminal method.

when - Constraining stream modification by condition

[↑ Streams]

The method restricts modification if $condition is not met and all modification and bypass methods will not be called. The opposite method is [always](#Removing stream modification constrains).

Locked methods:

• each
• walk
• filter
• reorganize
• map
• sort
• sortBy
• sortDesc
• sortDescBy

The method will return true if all calls to$predicate on the elements of the collection are true (true). Terminal method.

anyMatch- Partial match of all elements by predicate

[↑ Streams]

The method will return true if at least one call to$ predicate over the elements of the collection is true (true). Terminal method.

findAny - Getting an arbitrary collection item

[↑ Streams]

The method returns an arbitrary element of the collection, or null if the collection is empty. Does not guarantee that the item is randomly selected. Terminal method.

findFirst- Getting the first item in a collection

[↑ Streams]

The method will return the first element of the collection, or null if the collection is empty. Terminal method.

findLast- Getting the last item in a collection

[↑ Streams]

The method will return the last element of the collection, or null if the collection is empty. Terminal method.

min - Getting the minimum element of a collection

[↑ Streams]

The method will return the smallest item in the collection as compared by the comparator function, or null if the collection is empty. Terminal method.

max - Getting the maximum item in a collection

reverse - Reverse the elements of the collection

[↑ Streams]

Method converts the order of the elements to the reversed sequence.

limit - Shrink the collection to the specified size

[↑ Streams]

The method reduces the number of elements to the specified size. If the number of elements is already less than specified in the $size limit, the number of elements will remain the same.

Traversal and transformation functions

[↑ Up]

The library contains constructors of the most popular functions that initiate functions to work through traversal and transformation threads with pre-prepared parameters.

For example:

Calling the constructor of the function Predicates::equal(10) will return a function for comparing the input parameter with the value 10.

The functions used in the library are divided into the following types:

• Predicates
• Comparators
• Converters
• Reorganizers
• Consumers
• Aggregation

Each function type must have a corresponding interface for use in specific stream methods.

Predicates

[↑ Traversal and transformation functions] A group of function constructors that are used to filter the stream collection. All methods return initialized functions with the interface: <Fn($el: mixed): bool>. Predicates also let you work with object properties.
