Collection
==========

[](#collection)

PHP Arrays with additional functionality. Arrays on steroids.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There are two ways of using this library. To create Collections of objects or Collections of PHP scalar types.

### Object Collections

[](#object-collections)

To create you own Collection, the easiest way is to copy and adjust the sample `CarCollection`, replacing `Car` with the class that you need.

More generically, these are the steps to create your own Collection:

- Extend the `AbstractCollection` class
- Implement on the child these methods,
    - `getClass()` to provide information about the expected class or interface that all the objects on the collection should be.
    - `offsetGet($offset)` to specify the return class.
    - `toArray()` to provide PHPDoc information about the elements of the array.
    - `first()` to specify the return class.

### Scalar type Collections

[](#scalar-type-collections)

This library comes out of the box with the following Collections, ready to use:

- `StringCollection`
- `StringOrNullCollection`
- `IntegerCollection`
- `IntegerOrNullCollection`

These classes include additional expected functionality that you would expect from the data type, e.g. `implode()`, `sum()`, ...

If they do not suit your needs, you can extend any of them or the `AbstractScalarTypeCollection` to implement your own.
