The README.md

Use Laravel Collections in Craft CMS Plugins

Collections is a really powerful Laravel class that provides "a fluent, convenient wrapper for working with arrays of data". Don't just take our words for it, Adam Watham is working on a book called "Refactoring to Collections" and he also has a great screencast on using collections.., _(*1)

There are often times when we are working with Craft CMS and wish we had Collections support, so we decided to build this plugin!, _(*2)

Requirements

Craft 2.5+

Installation and Setup

Download plugin release from this page
Rename the download directory to collections and move into your plugins directory
Install Collections from the control panel settings

Example Usage

When working with data that is in an array..., _(*3)

$array = [
    'eight', 'six', 'seven', 'five'
];

You can easily make the array a Collection using the following code:, _(*4)

$collection = craft()->collections->make($array);

Once you have your data in a Collection, you can instantly reap the rewards!, _(*5)

For example you can get the count of items in the array/Collection by simply calling:, _(*6)

$collection->count();, _(*7)

Wham-o! the count, in this case 4, will be easily available!, _(*8)

What if you need to ensure that an array contains and item?, _(*9)

if ($collection->contains('six')) { // returns true, then do something about it! }, _(*10)

For the complete list of options when using Collections, see the list of available methods., _(*11)
