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.
