    tyler36\laravelHelpers\Helper::validate('20150230', 'date');

Macros
------

[](#macros)

### Collections

[](#collections)

These macros extend **collection** functionality.

#### pipe

[](#pipe)

Inspired by [The pipe collection macro](https://murze.be/2016/05/getting-package-statistics-packagist-redux/). Pass collection to a function.

```
$collect = collect([1, 2, 3])
    ->pipe(function ($data) {
        return $data->merge([4, 5, 6]);
    });

```

#### dd

[](#dd)

Inspired by [Debugging collections](https://murze.be/2016/06/debugging-collections/). Debug a collection by 'dump and die' the current state. Can be used mid-chain to break and dump.

```
collect($items)
  ->filter(function() {
     ...
   })
  ->dd()

```

#### ifEmpty

[](#ifempty)

Run callback if collection is empty.

```
$items = collect([]);
$items->ifEmpty(function(){
    abort(500, 'No items');
});

```

#### ifAny

[](#ifany)

Run callback if collection has data ( >1 item).

```
$errors = collect(['Something went wrong']);
$errors->ifAny(function(){
    abort(500, 'There was at-least 1 problem');
});

```

#### mapToAssoc

[](#maptoassoc)

Convert collection to associative array Inspired by [Customizing Keys When Mapping Collections](https://adamwathan.me/2016/07/14/customizing-keys-when-mapping-collections/)

```
$emailLookup = $employees->mapToAssoc(function ($employee) {
    return [$employee['email'], $employee['name']];
});

```

### Response

[](#response)

These macros help to standardize **api json response** returns throughout the application. Inspired by [Laravel Response Macros for APIs](https://blog.jadjoubran.io/2016/03/27/laravel-response-macros-api/)

#### Success

[](#success)

Returns payload ($data) with a [HTTP status code 200](https://httpstatuses.com/200)

```
response()->success($data);

```

EG.

```
response()->success(['earth' => 3, 'sun' => 'yellow'])

```

Returns **HTTP status 200** with the following:

```
{"errors":false,"data":{"earth":3,"sun":"yellow"}}

```

#### noContent

[](#nocontent)

Returns empty content with a [HTTP status code 402](https://httpstatuses.com/204)

```
response()->noContent()

```

#### Error

[](#error)

Returns message ($message) content with an optional [HTTP status code](https://httpstatuses.com/) ($statusCode) \[Default: [HTTP status code 400](https://httpstatuses.com/400)\]

```
response()->error($message);

```

Eg.

```
response()->error('There was an error.');

```

Returns **HTTP status 400** with the following:

```
{"errors":true,"message":"There was an error."}

```

Eg.

```
response()->error('Not authorized!', 403);

```

Returns **HTTP status 403** with the following:

```
{"errors":true,"message":"Not authorized!"}

```
