### `after`

Get the next item from the collection.

```php
$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

$currentItem = 2;

$currentItem = $collection->after($currentItem); // return 3;
$collection->after($currentItem); // return null;

$currentItem = $collection->after(function($item) {
    return $item > 1;
}); // return 3;

You can also pass a second parameter to be used as a fallback., <sub>(*9)</sub>

$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

$currentItem = 3;

$collection->after($currentItem, $collection->first()); // return 1;

at

Retrieve an item at an index., <sub>(*10)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3]);

$data->at(0); // 1
$data->at(1); // 2
$data->at(-1); // 3

second

Retrieve item at the second index., <sub>(*11)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->second(); // 2

third

Retrieve item at the third index., <sub>(*12)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->third(); // 3

fourth

Retrieve item at the fourth index., <sub>(*13)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->fourth(); // 4

fifth

Retrieve item at the fifth index., <sub>(*14)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->fifth(); // 5

sixth

Retrieve item at the sixth index., <sub>(*15)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->sixth(); // 6

seventh

Retrieve item at the seventh index., <sub>(*16)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->seventh(); // 7

eighth

Retrieve item at the eighth index., <sub>(*17)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->eighth(); // 8

ninth

Retrieve item at the ninth index., <sub>(*18)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->ninth(); // 9

tenth

Retrieve item at the tenth index., <sub>(*19)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);

$data->tenth(); // 10

getNth

Retrieve item at the nth item., <sub>(*20)</sub>

$data = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]);

$data->getNth(11); // 11

before

Get the previous item from the collection., <sub>(*21)</sub>

$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

$currentItem = 2;

$currentItem = $collection->before($currentItem); // return 1;
$collection->before($currentItem); // return null;

$currentItem = $collection->before(function($item) {
    return $item > 2;
}); // return 2;

You can also pass a second parameter to be used as a fallback., <sub>(*22)</sub>

$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

$currentItem = 1;

$collection->before($currentItem, $collection->last()); // return 3;

catch

See Try, <sub>(*23)</sub>

chunkBy

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., <sub>(*24)</sub>

collect(['A', 'A', 'B', 'A'])->chunkBy(function($item) {
    return $item == 'A';
}); // return Collection([['A', 'A'],['B'], ['A']])

collectBy

Get an item at a given key, and collect it., <sub>(*25)</sub>

$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., <sub>(*26)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    'foo' => [1, 2, 3],
    'bar' => [4, 5, 6],
]);

$collection->collectBy('baz', ['Nope']); // Collection(['Nope'])

containsAny

Will return true if one or more of the given values exist in the collection., <sub>(*27)</sub>

$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 false

containsAll

Will return true if all given values exist in the collection., <sub>(*28)</sub>

$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 true

eachCons

Get 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., <sub>(*29)</sub>

collect([1, 2, 3, 4])->eachCons(2); // return collect([[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]])

extract

Extract keys from a collection. This is very similar to only, with two key differences:, <sub>(*30)</sub>

• extract returns an array of values, not an associative array
• If a value doesn't exist, it will fill the value with null instead of omitting it

extract is useful when using PHP 7.1 short list() syntax., <sub>(*31)</sub>

[$name, $role] = collect($user)->extract('name', 'role.name');

filterMap

Map a collection and remove falsy values in one go., <sub>(*32)</sub>

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->filterMap(function ($number) {
    $quotient = $number / 3;

    return is_integer($quotient) ? $quotient : null;
});

$collection->toArray(); // returns [1, 2]

firstOrFail

Get the first item. Throws Spatie\CollectionMacros\Exceptions\CollectionItemNotFound if the item was not found., <sub>(*33)</sub>

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])->firstOrFail();

$collection->toArray(); // returns [1]

collect([])->firstOrFail(); // throws Spatie\CollectionMacros\Exceptions\CollectionItemNotFound

firstOrPush

Retrieve 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., <sub>(*34)</sub>

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., <sub>(*35)</sub>

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3])->firstOrPush(fn($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., <sub>(*36)</sub>

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3]);
$collection->filter()->firstOrPush(fn($item) => $item === 4, 4, $collection);

$collection->toArray(); // returns [1, 2, 3, 4]

fromPairs

Transform a collection into an associative array form collection item., <sub>(*37)</sub>

$collection = collect([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ['e', 'f']])->fromPairs();

$collection->toArray(); // returns ['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd', 'e' => 'f']

getCaseInsensitive

Get the value of a given key., <sub>(*38)</sub>

If the key is a string, we'll search for the key using a case-insensitive comparison., <sub>(*39)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    'foo' => 'bar',
]);

$collection->getCaseInsensitive('Foo'); // returns 'bar';

glob

Returns a collection of a glob() result., <sub>(*40)</sub>

Collection::glob('config/*.php');

groupByModel

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., <sub>(*41)</sub>

$posts->groupByModel('category');

// [
//     [$categoryA, [/*...$posts*/]],
//     [$categoryB, [/*...$posts*/]],
// ];

Full signature: groupByModel($callback, $preserveKeys, $modelKey, $itemsKey), <sub>(*42)</sub>

hasCaseInsensitive

Determine if the collection contains a key with a given name., <sub>(*43)</sub>

If $key is a string, we'll search for the key using a case-insensitive comparison., <sub>(*44)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    'foo' => 'bar',
]);

$collection->hasCaseInsensitive('Foo'); // returns true;

head

Retrieves first item from the collection., <sub>(*45)</sub>

$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

$collection->head(); // return 1

$collection = collect([]);

$collection->head(); // return null

if

The if macro can help branch collection chains. This is the signature of this macro:, <sub>(*46)</sub>

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., <sub>(*47)</sub>

When $if returns a truthy value, then $then will be returned, otherwise $else will be returned., <sub>(*48)</sub>

Here are some examples:, <sub>(*49)</sub>

collect()->if(true, then: true, else: false); // returns true
collect()->if(false, then: true, else: false); // returns false

When a closure is passed to $if, $then or $else, the entire collection will be passed as an argument to that closure., <sub>(*50)</sub>

// 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))
    );

ifAny

Executes the passed callable if the collection isn't empty. The entire collection will be returned., <sub>(*51)</sub>

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';
});

ifEmpty

Executes the passed callable if the collection is empty. The entire collection will be returned., <sub>(*52)</sub>

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';
});

insertAfter

Inserts an item after the first occurrence of a given item and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key can be given., <sub>(*53)</sub>

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]

insertAfterKey

Inserts an item after a given key and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key for the new item can be given., <sub>(*54)</sub>

collect(['zero', 'two', 'three'])->insertAfterKey(0, 'one');
// Collection contains ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']

collect(['zero' => 0, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]->insertAfterKey('zero', 5, 'five');
// Collection contains ['zero' => 0, 'five' => 5, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]

insertAt

Inserts an item at a given index and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key can be given., <sub>(*55)</sub>

collect(['zero', 'two', 'three'])->insertAt(1, 'one');
// Collection contains ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']

collect(['zero' => 0, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]->insertAt(1, 5, 'five');
// Collection contains ['zero' => 0, 'five' => 5, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]

insertBefore

Inserts an item before the first occurrence of a given item and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key can be given., <sub>(*56)</sub>

collect(['zero', 'two', 'three'])->insertBefore('two', 'one');
// Collection contains ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']

collect(['zero' => 0, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]->insertBefore(2, 5, 'five');
// Collection contains ['zero' => 0, 'five' => 5, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]

insertBeforeKey

Inserts an item before a given key and returns the updated Collection instance. Optionally a key for the new item can be given., <sub>(*57)</sub>

collect(['zero', 'two', 'three'])->insertBeforeKey(1, 'one');
// Collection contains ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']

collect(['zero' => 0, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]->insertBeforeKey('two', 5, 'five');
// Collection contains ['zero' => 0, 'five' => 5, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3]

none

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., <sub>(*58)</sub>

collect(['foo'])->none('bar'); // returns true
collect(['foo'])->none('foo'); // returns false

collect([['name' => 'foo']])->none('name', 'bar'); // returns true
collect([['name' => 'foo']])->none('name', 'foo'); // returns false

collect(['name' => 'foo'])->none(function ($key, $value) {
   return $key === 'name' && $value === 'bar';
}); // returns true

paginate

Create a LengthAwarePaginator instance for the items in the collection., <sub>(*59)</sub>

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., <sub>(*60)</sub>

paginate(int $perPage = 15, string $pageName = 'page', int $page = null, int $total = null, array $options = [])

path

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., <sub>(*61)</sub>

$collection = new Collection([
    'foo' => [
        'bar' => [
            'baz' => 'value',
        ]
    ]
]);

$collection->path('foo.bar.baz') // 'value'

pluckMany

Returns a collection with only the specified keys., <sub>(*62)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    ['a' => 1, 'b' => 10, 'c' => 100],
    ['a' => 2, 'b' => 20, 'c' => 200],
]);

$collection->pluckMany(['a', 'b']);

// returns
// collect([
//     ['a' => 1, 'b' => 10],
//     ['a' => 2, 'b' => 20],
// ]);

pluckManyValues

Returns a collection with only the specified keys' values., <sub>(*63)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    ['a' => 1, 'b' => 10, 'c' => 100],
    ['a' => 2, 'b' => 20, 'c' => 200],
]);

$collection->pluckMany(['a', 'b']);

// returns
// collect([
//     [1, 10],
//     [2, 20],
// ]);

pluckToArray

Returns array of values of a given key., <sub>(*64)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    ['a' => 1, 'b' => 10],
    ['a' => 2, 'b' => 20],
    ['a' => 3, 'b' => 30]
]);

$collection->pluckToArray('a'); // returns [1, 2, 3]

prioritize

Move elements to the start of the collection., <sub>(*65)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    ['id' => 1],
    ['id' => 2],
    ['id' => 3],
]);

$collection
   ->prioritize(function(array $item) {
      return $item['id'] === 2;
   })
   ->pluck('id')
   ->toArray(); // returns [2, 1, 3]

recursive

Convert an array and its children to collection using recursion., <sub>(*66)</sub>

collect([
  'item' => [
     'children' => []
  ]   
])->recursive();

// subsequent arrays are now collections

In 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., <sub>(*67)</sub>

collect([
  'item' => [
     'children' => [
        'one' => [1],
        '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., <sub>(*68)</sub>

collect([
  'item' => [
     'children' => [
        'one' => [1],
        'two' => [2]
     ]
  ]   
])
  ->recursive(1)
  ->map(function ($item) {
    return $item->map(function ($children) {
      return $children->mapInto(Model::class);
    });
  }); // Collection(['item' => Collection(['children' => ['one' => Model(), 'two' => Model()]])])

// If we do not pass a max depth we will get the error "Argument #1 ($attributes) must be of type array"

rotate

Rotate the items in the collection with given offset, <sub>(*69)</sub>

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);

$rotate = $collection->rotate(1);

$rotate->toArray();

// [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1]

sectionBy

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., <sub>(*70)</sub>

$collection = collect([
    ['name' => 'Lesson 1', 'module' => 'Basics'],
    ['name' => 'Lesson 2', 'module' => 'Basics'],
    ['name' => 'Lesson 3', 'module' => 'Advanced'],
    ['name' => 'Lesson 4', 'module' => 'Advanced'],
    ['name' => 'Lesson 5', 'module' => 'Basics'],
]);

$collection->sectionBy('module');

// [
//     ['Basics', [
//         ['name' => 'Lesson 1', 'module' => 'Basics'],
//         ['name' => 'Lesson 2', 'module' => 'Basics'],
//     ]],
//     ['Advanced', [
//         ['name' => 'Lesson 3', 'module' => 'Advanced'],
//         ['name' => 'Lesson 4', 'module' => 'Advanced'],
//     ]],
//     ['Basics', [
//         ['name' => 'Lesson 5', 'module' => 'Basics'],
//     ]],
// ];

Full signature: sectionBy($callback, $preserveKeys, $sectionKey, $itemsKey), <sub>(*71)</sub>

simplePaginate

Create a Paginator instance for the items in the collection., <sub>(*72)</sub>

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., <sub>(*73)</sub>

simplePaginate(int $perPage = 15, string $pageName = 'page', int $page = null, int $total = null, array $options = [])

For a in-depth guide on pagination, check out the Laravel docs., <sub>(*74)</sub>

sliceBefore

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., <sub>(*75)</sub>

collect([20, 51, 10, 50, 66])->sliceBefore(function($item) {
    return $item > 50;
}); // return collect([[20],[51, 10, 50], [66])

tail

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)., <sub>(*76)</sub>

collect([1, 2, 3])->tail(); // return collect([2, 3])

toPairs

Transform a collection into an array with pairs., <sub>(*77)</sub>

$collection = collect(['a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd', 'e' => 'f'])->toPairs();

$collection->toArray(); // returns ['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ['e', 'f']

transpose

The goal of transpose is to rotate a multidimensional array, turning the rows into columns and the columns into rows., <sub>(*78)</sub>

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'],
// ]

try

If any of the methods between try and catch throw an exception, then the exception can be handled in catch., <sub>(*79)</sub>

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., <sub>(*80)</sub>

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., <sub>(*81)</sub>

$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3])
    ->try()
    ->map(function ($item) {
        throw new Exception();
    })
    ->catch(function (Exception $exception, $collection) {
        return collect(['d', 'e', 'f']);
    })
    ->map(function ($item) {
        return strtoupper($item);
    });

// ['D', 'E', 'F']

validate

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., <sub>(*82)</sub>

collect(['foo', 'foo'])->validate(function ($item) {
   return $item === 'foo';
}); // returns true


collect(['sebastian@spatie.be', 'bla'])->validate('email'); // returns false
collect(['sebastian@spatie.be', 'freek@spatie.be'])->validate('email'); // returns true

weightedRandom

Returns 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., <sub>(*83)</sub>

// pass the field name that should be used as a weight

$randomItem = collect([
