How to install
Just add the package to your project using Composer and Laravel will auto-discover it:
composer require sebastiaanluca/laravel-helpersIf you want to use the collection debug macros, install the kint-php/kint package as a dev dependency:
composer require kint-php/kint --devUpgrading from 1.x
All essential generic PHP helpers have been extracted to their own sebastiaanluca/php-helpers package and some other helpers have been removed in anticipation of their own package. In effect and from now on, Laravel Helpers will only contain helpers for the Laravel framework.
See the changelog for more information.
Framework helper functions
locale
Get the active app locale or the fallback locale if it's missing or not set.
locale();
// "en"is_guest
Determine if the current user is a guest.
The opposite of is_logged_in.

is_guest();
// falseis_logged_in

The opposite of is_guest.
// When not authenticated
is_logged_in();
// false
// When authenticated as a user
is_logged_in();
// trueuser
Get the currently authenticated user (if there is one).
When logged in, returns your user model or object that implements \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable.
// When not authenticated
user();
// null
// When authenticated as a user
user();
// Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User {}me
Get the currently authenticated user (if there is one).
When logged in, returns your user model or object that implements \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable.
An alternative for user.
// When not authenticated
me();
// null
// When authenticated as a user
me();
// Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User {}Collection macros
carbonize
Create Carbon instances from items in a collection.
collect([
'yesterday',
'tomorrow',
'2017-07-01',
])->carbonize();
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
Carbon\Carbon {
"date": "2017-07-09 00:00:00.000000",
"timezone_type": 3,
"timezone": "UTC",
},
Carbon\Carbon {
"date": "2017-07-11 00:00:00.000000",
"timezone_type": 3,
"timezone": "UTC",
},
Carbon\Carbon {
"date": "2017-07-01 00:00:00.000000",
"timezone_type": 3,
"timezone": "UTC",
},
],
}
*/between
Reduce each collection item to the value found between a given start and end string.
The second parameter is optional and falls back to the start string if null.
collect([
'"value1"',
'"value2"',
'"value3"',
])->between('"', '"');
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
"value1",
"value2",
"value3",
],
}
*/transformKeys
Perform an operation on the collection's keys.
The callable operation can either be a globally available method or a closure.
collect([
'a' => 'value',
'b' => 'value',
'c' => 'value',
])->transformKeys('strtoupper');
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
"A" => "value",
"B" => "value",
"C" => "value",
],
}
*/collect([
'a' => 'value',
'b' => 'value',
'c' => 'value',
])->transformKeys(function (string $key) {
return 'prefix-' . $key;
});
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
"prefix-a" => "value",
"prefix-b" => "value",
"prefix-c" => "value",
],
}
*/transpose
Transpose (flip) a collection matrix (array of arrays) so its columns become rows and its rows become columns.
collect([
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9],
])->transpose();
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
[1, 4, 7],
[2, 5, 8],
[3, 6, 9],
],
}
*/transposeWithKeys
Flip a collection of rows and values per column so its columns become rows and its rows become columns.
Before:
| id | name | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | James |
| B | 2 | Joe |
| C | 3 | Jonas |
After:
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| name | James | Joe | Jonas |
How to use:
collect([
'A' => [
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'James',
],
'B' => [
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'Joe',
],
'C' => [
'id' => 3,
'name' => 'Jonas',
],
])->transposeWithKeys();
/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {
all: [
"id" => [
"A" => 1,
"B" => 2,
"C" => 3,
],
"name" => [
"A" => "James",
"B" => "Joe",
"C" => "Jonas",
],
],
}
*/You can also pass some row header names if you don't want them to be automatically guessed. You'd then call the macro with transposeWithKeys(['myID', 'row2']) and the resulting rows would be myID and row2 instead of id and name respectively.
d
Display structured debug information on the collection using Kint. Can be called multiple times during a collection's method chain and outputs debug information at each point of use. Continues script execution afterwards.
Explicitly requires the kint-php/kint package.
collect([
'id' => 6,
'name' => 'Sebastiaan',
])
->d()
->put('role', 'author')
->d();ddd
Display structured debug information on the collection using Kint. Halts script execution afterwards, so it can only be called once during a collection's method chain.
Explicitly requires the kint-php/kint package.
collect([
'id' => 6,
'name' => 'Sebastiaan',
])
->d()
->put('role', 'author')
->ddd();License
