### ArrayList

```
//rough example of ArrayListcreation, usually goes in constructor; see examples classes
$user = new User();

```

ArrayList will accept only Article instances as arguments.

```
//addAll argument can be any iterable form, like ArrayList
$user->articles->addAll([
    (new Article())
        ->setTitle('foo')
        ->setContent('bar'),
    (new Article())
        ->setTitle('baz')
        ->setContent('qux'),
]);

$singleArticle = (new Article())
    ->setTitle('foo')
    ->setContent('bar');
$user->articles->add($singleArticle);
```

Can add iterable articles, or single invoking add method.

```
if ($user->articles->contains($singleArticle)) {
    $user->articles->remove($singleArticle);
}

foreach ($user->articles as $article) {
    if ($article->getContent() === 'qux') {
        $article->setTitle('foo');
        break;
    }
}
