Chunks the values from a collection into groups as long the given callback is true. If the optional parameter $preserveKeys as true is passed, it will preserve the original keys.
collect(['A', 'A', 'B', 'A'])->chunkBy(function($item) {
return $item == 'A';
}); // return Collection([['A', 'A'],['B'], ['A']])Get an item at a given key, and collect it.
$collection = collect([
'foo' => [1, 2, 3],
'bar' => [4, 5, 6],
]);
$collection->collectBy('foo'); // Collection([1, 2, 3])You can also pass a second parameter to be used as a fallback.
$collection = collect([
'foo' => [1, 2, 3],
'bar' => [4, 5, 6],
]);
$collection->collectBy('baz', ['Nope']); // Collection(['Nope'])Will return true if one or more of the given values exist in the collection.
$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 'c']);
$collection->containsAny(['b', 'c', 'd']); // returns true
$collection->containsAny(['c', 'd', 'e']); // returns true
$collection->containsAny(['d', 'e', 'f']); // returns false
$collection->containsAny([]); // returns falseWill return true if all given values exist in the collection.
$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 'c']);
$collection->containsAll(['b', 'c',]); // returns true
$collection->containsAll(['c', 'd']); // returns false
$collection->containsAll(['d', 'e']); // returns false
$collection->containsAll([]); // returns trueGet the following consecutive neighbours in a collection from a given chunk size. If the optional parameter $preserveKeys as true is passed, it will preserve the original keys.
collect([1, 2, 3, 4])->eachCons(2); // return collect([[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]])Extract keys from a collection. This is very similar to only, with two key differences:
extractreturns an array of values, not an associative array- If a value doesn't exist, it will fill the value with
nullinstead of omitting it
extract is useful when using PHP 7.1 short list() syntax.
[$name, $role] = collect($user)->extract('name', 'role.name');Map a collection and remove falsy values in one go.
$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->filterMap(function ($number) {
$quotient = $number / 3;
return is_integer($quotient) ? $quotient : null;
});
$collection->toArray(); // returns [1, 2]Get the first item. Throws Spatie\CollectionMacros\Exceptions\CollectionItemNotFound if the item was not found.
$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->firstOrFail();
$collection->toArray(); // returns [1]
collect([])->firstOrFail(); // throws Spatie\CollectionMacros\Exceptions\CollectionItemNotFoundRetrieve the first item using the callable given as the first parameter. If no value exists, push the value of the second parameter into the collection. You can pass a callable as the second parameter.
This method is really useful when dealing with cached class properties, where you want to store a value retrieved from an API or computationally expensive function in a collection to be used multiple times.
$collection = collect([1, 2, 3])->firstOrPush(fn($item) => $item === 4, 4);
$collection->toArray(); // returns [1, 2, 3, 4]Occasionally, you'll want to specify the target collection to be pushed to. You may pass this as a third parameter.
$collection = collect([1, 2, 3]);
$collection->filter()->firstOrPush(fn($item) => $item === 4, 4, $collection);
$collection->toArray(); // returns [1, 2, 3, 4]Transform a collection into an associative array form collection item.
$collection = collect([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ['e', 'f']])->fromPairs();
$collection->toArray(); // returns ['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd', 'e' => 'f']Get the value of a given key.
If the key is a string, we'll search for the key using a case-insensitive comparison.
$collection = collect([
'foo' => 'bar',
]);
$collection->getCaseInsensitive('Foo'); // returns 'bar';Returns a collection of a glob() result.
Collection::glob('config/*.php');Similar to groupBy, but groups the collection by an Eloquent model. Since the key is an object instead of an integer or string, the results are divided into separate arrays.
$posts->groupByModel('category');
// [
// [$categoryA, [/*...$posts*/]],
// [$categoryB, [/*...$posts*/]],
// ];Full signature: groupByModel($callback, $preserveKeys, $modelKey, $itemsKey)
Determine if the collection contains a key with a given name.
If $key is a string, we'll search for the key using a case-insensitive comparison.
$collection = collect([
'foo' => 'bar',
]);
$collection->hasCaseInsensitive('Foo'); // returns true;Retrieves first item from the collection.
$collection = collect([1,2,3]);
$collection->head(); // return 1
$collection = collect([]);
$collection->head(); // return nullThe if macro can help branch collection chains. This is the signature of this macro:
if(mixed $if, mixed $then = null, mixed $else = null): mixed$if, $then and $else can be any type. If a closure is passed to any of these parameters, then that closure will be executed and the macro will use its results.
When $if returns a truthy value, then $then will be returned, otherwise $else will be returned.
Here are some examples:
collect()->if(true, then: true, else: false); // returns true
collect()->if(false, then: true, else: false); // returns falseWhen a closure is passed to $if, $then or $else, the entire collection will be passed as an argument to that closure.
// the `then` closure will be executed
// the first element of the returned collection now contains "THIS IS THE VALUE"
$collection = collect(['this is a value'])
->if(
fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->contains('this is a value'),
then: fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->map(fn(string $item) => strtoupper($item)),
else: fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->map(fn(string $item) => Str::kebab($item))
);
// the `else` closure will be executed
// the first element of the returned collection now contains "this-is-another-value"
$collection = collect(['this is another value'])
->if(
fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->contains('this is a value'),
then: fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->map(fn(string $item) => strtoupper($item)),
else: fn(Collection $collection) => $collection->map(fn(string $item) => Str::kebab($item))
);Executes the passed callable if the collection isn't empty. The entire collection will be returned.
collect()->ifAny(function(Collection $collection) { // empty collection so this won't get called
echo 'Hello';
});
collect([1, 2, 3])->ifAny(function(Collection $collection) { // non-empty collection so this will get called
echo 'Hello';
});Executes the passed callable if the collection is empty. The entire collection will be returned.
collect()->ifEmpty(function(Collection $collection) { // empty collection so this will called
echo 'Hello';
});
collect([1, 2, 3])->ifEmpty(function(Collection $collection) { // non-empty collection so this won't get called
echo 'Hello';
});Inserts an item after the first occurrence of a given item and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key can be given.
collect(['zero', 'two', 'three'])->insertAfter('zero', 'one');
// Collection contains ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']
collect(['zero' => 0, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]->insertAfter(0, 5, 'five');

// Collection contains ['zero' => 0, 'five' => 5, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]Checks whether a collection doesn't contain any occurrences of a given item, key-value pair, or passing truth test. The function accepts the same parameters as the contains collection method.
collect(['foo'])->none('bar'); // returns true

}); // returns trueCreate a LengthAwarePaginator instance for the items in the collection.
collect($posts)->paginate(5);This paginates the contents of $posts with 5 items per page. paginate accepts quite some options, head over to the Laravel docs for an in-depth guide.
paginate(int $perPage = 15, string $pageName = 'page', ?int $page = null, ?int $total = null, array $options = [])
Returns an item from the collection with multidimensional data using "dot" notation.
Works the same way as native Collection's pull method, but without removing an item from the collection.
$collection = new Collection([
'foo' => [
'bar' => [
'baz' => 'value',
]
]
]);
$collection->path('foo.bar.baz') // 'value'Returns a collection with only the specified keys.

collect([

])->recursive();
// subsequent arrays are now collectionsIn some cases you may not want to turn all the children into a collection. You can convert only to a certain depth by providing a number to the recursive method.
collect([

'two' => [2]
]
]
])->recursive(1); // Collection(['item' => Collection(['children' => ['one' => [1], 'two' => [2]]])])This can be useful when you know that at a certain depth it'll not be necessary or that it may break your code.

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
$rotate = $collection->rotate(1);
$rotate->toArray();
// [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1]Splits a collection into sections grouped by a given key. Similar to groupBy but respects the order of the items in the collection and reuses existing keys.
$collection = collect([

Create a Paginator instance for the items in the collection.
collect($posts)->simplePaginate(5);This paginates the contents of $posts with 5 items per page. simplePaginate accepts quite some options, head over to the Laravel docs for an in-depth guide.
simplePaginate(int $perPage = 15, string $pageName = 'page', ?int $page = null, ?int $total = null, array $options = [])

Slice the values out from a collection before the given callback is true. If the optional parameter $preserveKeys as true is passed, it will preserve the original keys.
collect([20, 51, 10, 50, 66])->sliceBefore(function($item) {
return $item > 50;
}); // return collect([[20],[51, 10, 50], [66])Extract the tail from a collection. So everything except the first element. It's a shorthand for slice(1)->values(), but nevertheless very handy. If the optional parameter $preserveKeys as true is passed, it will preserve the keys and fallback to slice(1).
collect([1, 2, 3])->tail(); // return collect([2, 3])Transform a collection into an array with pairs.
$collection = collect(['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd', 'e' => 'f'])->toPairs();
$collection->toArray(); // returns ['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ['e', 'f']The goal of transpose is to rotate a multidimensional array, turning the rows into columns and the columns into rows.
collect([
['Jane', 'Bob', 'Mary'],
['jane@example.com', 'bob@example.com', 'mary@example.com'],
['Doctor', 'Plumber', 'Dentist'],
])->transpose()->toArray();
// [
// ['Jane', 'jane@example.com', 'Doctor'],
// ['Bob', 'bob@example.com', 'Plumber'],
// ['Mary', 'mary@example.com', 'Dentist'],
// ]If any of the methods between try and catch throw an exception, then the exception can be handled in catch.
collect(['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3])
->try()
->map(fn ($letter) => strtoupper($letter))
->each(function() {
throw new Exception('Explosions in the sky');
})
->catch(function (Exception $exception) {
// handle exception here
})
->map(function() {
// further operations can be done, if the exception wasn't rethrow in the `catch`
});While the methods are named try/catch for familiarity with PHP, the collection itself behaves more like a database transaction. So when an exception is thrown, the original collection (before the try) is returned.
You may gain access to the collection within catch by adding a second parameter to your handler. You may also manipulate the collection within catch by returning a value.
$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3])
->try()
->map(function ($item) {
throw new Exception();
})
->catch(function (Exception $exception, $collection) {
return collect(['d', 'e', 'f']);
})
->map(function ($item) {
return strtoupper($item);
});
// ['D', 'E', 'F']Returns true if the given $callback returns true for every item. If $callback is a string or an array, regard it as a validation rule.
collect(['foo', 'foo'])->validate(function ($item) {

}); // returns true
collect(['sebastian@spatie.be', 'bla'])->validate('email'); // returns false
collect(['sebastian@spatie.be', 'freek@spatie.be'])->validate('email'); // returns trueReturns a random item by a weight. In this example, the item with a has the most chance to get picked, and the item with c the least.
// pass the field name that should be used as a weight
$randomItem = collect([
['value' => 'a', 'weight' => 30],
['value' => 'b', 'weight' => 20],
['value' => 'c', 'weight' => 10],
])->weightedRandom('weight');Alternatively, you can pass a callable to get the weight.
$randomItem = collect([
['value' => 'a', 'weight' => 30],
['value' => 'b', 'weight' => 20],
['value' => 'c', 'weight' => 10],
])->weightedRandom(function(array $item) {
return $item['weight'];
});Create a new collection with the specified amount of items.
