Please directly use [illuminate/collections](https://packagist.org/packages/illuminate/collections) instead. 🚨 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#-deprecated-the-laravel-team-has-dropped-support-for-laravel--8-making-this-package-obsolete-please-directly-use-illuminatecollections-instead-) Import [Laravel's Collections](https://laravel.com/docs/collections) into non-Laravel packages easily, without needing to require the entire `illuminate\support` package, while also supporting older PHP/Laravel versions. ([Why not pull `illuminate\support` in framework-agnostic packages](https://mattallan.org/posts/dont-use-illuminate-support/)) It just installs [illuminate/support](https://packagist.org/packages/illuminate/support) on PHP < 7.3 or Laravel < 8 and [illuminate/collections](https://packagist.org/packages/illuminate/collections) on PHP >= 7.3 or Laravel >= 8 and uses the same major versioning. Install ------- [](#install) Via Composer ``` $ composer require swisnl/illuminate-collections ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Simply use `Illuminate\Support\Collection` as you normally would!
