NAME

Mojo::Collection − Collection

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Collection;
# Manipulate collection
my $collection = Mojo::Collection−>new(qw(just works));
unshift @$collection, 'it';
say $collection−>join("\n");
# Chain methods
$collection−>map(sub { ucfirst })−>shuffle−>each(sub ($word, $num) {
say "$num: $word";
});
# Use the alternative constructor
use Mojo::Collection qw(c);
c(qw(a b c))−>join('/')−>url_escape−>say;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Collection is an array-based container for collections.

# Access array directly to manipulate collection
my $collection = Mojo::Collection−>new(1 .. 25);
$collection−>[23] += 100;
say for @$collection;

FUNCTIONS

Mojo::Collection implements the following functions, which can be imported individually.

c

my $collection = c(1, 2, 3);

Construct a new array-based Mojo::Collection object.

METHODS

Mojo::Collection implements the following methods.

TO_JSON

my $array = $collection−>TO_JSON;

Alias for "to_array".

compact

my $new = $collection−>compact;

Create a new collection with all elements that are defined and not an empty string.

# "0, 1, 2, 3"
c(0, 1, undef, 2, '', 3)−>compact−>join(', ');

each

my @elements = $collection−>each;
$collection = $collection−>each(sub {...});

Evaluate callback for each element in collection, or return all elements as a list if none has been provided. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback, and is also available as $_.

# Make a numbered list
$collection−>each(sub ($e, $num) {
say "$num: $e";
});

first

my $first = $collection−>first;
my $first = $collection−>first(qr/foo/);
my $first = $collection−>first(sub {...});
my $first = $collection−>first('some_method');
my $first = $collection−>first('some_method', @args);

Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and return the first one that matched the regular expression, or for which the callback/method returned true. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback, and is also available as $_.

# Longer version
my $first = $collection−>first(sub { $_−>some_method(@args) });
# Find first value that contains the word "mojo"
my $interesting = $collection−>first(qr/mojo/i);
# Find first value that is greater than 5
my $greater = $collection−>first(sub { $_ > 5 });

flatten

my $new = $collection−>flatten;

Flatten nested collections/arrays recursively and create a new collection with all elements.

# "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7"
c(1, [2, [3, 4], 5, [6]], 7)−>flatten−>join(', ');

grep

my $new = $collection−>grep(qr/foo/);
my $new = $collection−>grep(sub {...});
my $new = $collection−>grep('some_method');
my $new = $collection−>grep('some_method', @args);

Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and create a new collection with all elements that matched the regular expression, or for which the callback/method returned true. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback, and is also available as $_.

# Longer version
my $new = $collection−>grep(sub { $_−>some_method(@args) });
# Find all values that contain the word "mojo"
my $interesting = $collection−>grep(qr/mojo/i);
# Find all values that are greater than 5
my $greater = $collection−>grep(sub { $_ > 5 });

head

my $new = $collection−>head(4);
my $new = $collection−>head(−2);

Create a new collection with up to the specified number of elements from the beginning of the collection. A negative number will count from the end.

# "A B C"
c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')−>head(3)−>join(' ');
# "A B"
c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')−>head(−3)−>join(' ');

join

my $stream = $collection−>join;
my $stream = $collection−>join("\n");

Turn collection into Mojo::ByteStream.

# Join all values with commas
$collection−>join(', ')−>say;

last

my $last = $collection−>last;

Return the last element in collection.

map

my $new = $collection−>map(sub {...});
my $new = $collection−>map('some_method');
my $new = $collection−>map('some_method', @args);

Evaluate callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and create a new collection from the results. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback, and is also available as $_.

# Longer version
my $new = $collection−>map(sub { $_−>some_method(@args) });
# Append the word "mojo" to all values
my $mojoified = $collection−>map(sub { $_ . 'mojo' });

new

my $collection = Mojo::Collection−>new(1, 2, 3);

Construct a new array-based Mojo::Collection object.

reduce

my $result = $collection−>reduce(sub {...});
my $result = $collection−>reduce(sub {...}, $initial);

Reduce elements in collection with a callback and return its final result, setting $a and $b each time the callback is executed. The first time $a will be set to an optional initial value or the first element in the collection. And from then on $a will be set to the return value of the callback, while $b will always be set to the next element in the collection.

# Calculate the sum of all values
my $sum = $collection−>reduce(sub { $a + $b });
# Count how often each value occurs in collection
my $hash = $collection−>reduce(sub { $a−>{$b}++; $a }, {});

reverse

my $new = $collection−>reverse;

Create a new collection with all elements in reverse order.

shuffle

my $new = $collection−>shuffle;

Create a new collection with all elements in random order.

size

my $size = $collection−>size;

Number of elements in collection.

sort

my $new = $collection−>sort;
my $new = $collection−>sort(sub {...});

Sort elements based on return value of a callback and create a new collection from the results, setting $a and $b to the elements being compared, each time the callback is executed.

# Sort values case−insensitive
my $case_insensitive = $collection−>sort(sub { uc($a) cmp uc($b) });

tail

my $new = $collection−>tail(4);
my $new = $collection−>tail(−2);

Create a new collection with up to the specified number of elements from the end of the collection. A negative number will count from the beginning.

# "C D E"
c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')−>tail(3)−>join(' ');
# "D E"
c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')−>tail(−3)−>join(' ');

tap

$collection = $collection−>tap(sub {...});

Alias for "tap" in Mojo::Base.

to_array

my $array = $collection−>to_array;

Turn collection into array reference.

uniq

my $new = $collection−>uniq;
my $new = $collection−>uniq(sub {...});
my $new = $collection−>uniq('some_method');
my $new = $collection−>uniq('some_method', @args);

Create a new collection without duplicate elements, using the string representation of either the elements or the return value of the callback/method to decide uniqueness. Note that "undef" and empty string are treated the same.

# Longer version
my $new = $collection−>uniq(sub { $_−>some_method(@args) });
# "foo bar baz"
c('foo', 'bar', 'bar', 'baz')−>uniq−>join(' ');
# "[[1, 2], [2, 1]]"
c([1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 2])−>uniq(sub{ $_−>[1] })−>to_array;

with_roles

my $new_class = Mojo::Collection−>with_roles('Mojo::Collection::Role::One');
my $new_class = Mojo::Collection−>with_roles('+One', '+Two');
$collection = $collection−>with_roles('+One', '+Two');

Alias for "with_roles" in Mojo::Base.
