This package can iterate and process arrays and other iterable types like Python itertools.

It provides base iterator classes that can traverse arrays in several ways to let applications process the array values individually.

The package provides tool classes to perform several operations on the iterable values.

Iteration is a way to execute the same operation on a set of values.

In PHP, developers can iterate over the values of the characters of a string, elements of an array, or objects of classes that can act as if they were arrays and provide an iterable interface.

The iteration method that defines how the values are traversed and processed can be customized with new iterable classes that PHP developers can write.

The package provides a new set of classes that can iterate over the values that will be traversed.

IterTools - PHP Iteration Tools to Power Up Your Loops

Inspired by Python?designed for PHP.

Coverage Status License

Features

IterTools makes you an iteration superstar by providing two types of tools:

  • Loop iteration tools
  • Stream iteration tools

Loop Iteration Tools Example

foreach (Multi::zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2]) as [$letter, $number]) {
    print($letter . $number);  // a1, b2
}

Stream Iteration Tools Example

$result = Stream::of([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5])
    ->distinct()                 // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    ->map(fn ($x) => $x2)      // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
    ->filter(fn ($x) => $x < 10) // [1, 4, 9]
    ->toSum();                   // 14

All functions work on iterable collections: * array (type) * Generator (type) * Iterator (interface) * Traversable (interface)

Setup

Add the library to your composer.json file in your project:

{
  "require": {
      "markrogoyski/itertools-php": "1.*"
  }
}

Use composer to install the library:

$ php composer.phar install

Composer will install IterTools inside your vendor folder. Then you can add the following to your .php files to use the library with Autoloading.

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Alternatively, use composer on the command line to require and install IterTools:

$ php composer.phar require markrogoyski/itertools-php:1.*

Minimum Requirements

* PHP 7.4

Usage

All functions work on iterable collections: * array (type) * Generator (type) * Iterator (interface) * Traversable (interface)

Multi Iteration

Chain

Chain multiple iterables together into a single continuous sequence.

use IterTools\Multi;

$prequels = ['Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith']; $originals = ['A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi'];

foreach (Multi::chain($prequels, $originals) as $movie) {

print($movie);

} // 'Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith', 'A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi'


### Zip
Iterate multiple iterable collections simultaneously.

use IterTools\Multi;

$languages = ['PHP', 'Python', 'Java', 'Go'];
$mascots   = ['elephant', 'snake', 'bean', 'gopher'];

foreach (Multi::zip($languages, $mascots) as [$language, $mascot]) {
    print("The {$language} language mascot is an {$mascot}.");
}
// The PHP language mascot is an elephant.
// ...

Zip works with multiple iterable inputs--not limited to just two.

$names          = ['Ryu', 'Ken', 'Chun Li', 'Guile'];
$countries      = ['Japan', 'USA', 'China', 'USA'];
$signatureMoves = ['hadouken', 'shoryuken', 'spinning bird kick', 'sonic boom'];

foreach (Multi::zip($names, $countries, $signatureMoves) as [$name, $country, $signatureMove]) {
    $streetFighter = new StreetFighter($name, $country, $signatureMove);
}

Note: For uneven lengths, iteration stops when the shortest iterable is exhausted.

ZipLongest

Iterate multiple iterable collections simultaneously.


For uneven lengths, the exhausted iterables will produce `null` for the remaining iterations.

use IterTools\Multi;

$letters = ['A', 'B', 'C']; $numbers = [1, 2];

foreach (Multi::zipLongest($letters, $numbers) as [$letter, $number]) {

// ['A', 1], ['B', 2], ['C', null]

}


### ZipEqual
Iterate multiple iterable collections with equal lengths simultaneously.

Throws `\LengthException` if lengths are not equal, meaning that at least one iterator ends before the others.

use IterTools\Multi;

$letters = ['A', 'B', 'C'];
$numbers = [1, 2, 3];

foreach (Multi::zipEqual($letters, $numbers) as [$letter, $number]) {
    // ['A', 1], ['B', 2], ['C', 3]
}

Single Iteration

Chunkwise

Return elements in chunks of a certain size.


Chunk size must be at least 1.

use IterTools\Single;

$movies = [

'Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith',
'A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi',
'The Force Awakens', 'The Last Jedi', 'The Rise of Skywalker'

];

foreach (Single::chunkwise($movies, 3) as $trilogy) {

$trilogies[] = $trilogy;

} // [ // ['Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith'], // ['A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi'], // ['The Force Awakens', 'The Last Jedi', 'The Rise of Skywalker]' // ]


### Chunkwise Overlap
Return overlapped chunks of elements.

  • Chunk size must be at least 1.
  • Overlap size must be less than chunk size.
use IterTools\Single;

$numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

foreach (Single::chunkwiseOverlap($numbers, 3, 1) as $chunk) {
    // [1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [5, 6, 7], [7, 8, 9], [9, 10]
}

Compress

Compress an iterable by filtering out data that is not selected.


use IterTools\Single;

$movies = [

'Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith',
'A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi',
'The Force Awakens', 'The Last Jedi', 'The Rise of Skywalker'

]; $goodMovies = [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0];

foreach (Single::compress($movies, $goodMovies) as $goodMovie) {

print($goodMovie);

} // 'A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi', 'The Force Awakens'


### Compress Associative
Compress an iterable by filtering out keys that are not selected.

  • Standard PHP array/iterator keys only (string, integer).
use IterTools\Single;

$starWarsEpisodes = [
    'I'    => 'The Phantom Menace',
    'II'   => 'Attack of the Clones',
    'III'  => 'Revenge of the Sith',
    'IV'   => 'A New Hope',
    'V'    => 'The Empire Strikes Back',
    'VI'   => 'Return of the Jedi',
    'VII'  => 'The Force Awakens',
    'VIII' => 'The Last Jedi',
    'IX'   => 'The Rise of Skywalker',
];
$originalTrilogyNumbers = ['IV', 'V', 'VI'];

foreach (Single::compressAssociative($starWarsEpisodes, $originalTrilogyNumbers) as $episode => $title) {
    print("$episode: $title" . \PHP_EOL);
}
// IV: A New Hope
// V: The Empire Strikes Back
// VI: Return of the Jedi

Drop While

Drop elements from the iterable while the predicate function is true.

Once the predicate function returns false once, all remaining elements are returned.


use IterTools\Single;

$scores = [50, 60, 70, 85, 65, 90]; $predicate = fn ($x) => $x < 70;

foreach (Single::dropWhile($scores, $predicate) as $score) {

print($score);

} // 70, 85, 65, 90


### Filter
Filter out elements from the iterable only returning elements where the predicate function is true.

use IterTools\Single;

$starWarsEpisodes   = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
$goodMoviePredicate = fn ($episode) => $episode > 3 && $episode < 8;

foreach (Single::filter($starWarsEpisodes, $goodMoviePredicate) as $goodMovie) {
    print($goodMovie);
}
// 4, 5, 6, 7

Filter True

Filter out elements from the iterable only returning elements that are truthy.


use IterTools\Single;

$reportCardGrades = [100, 0, 95, 85, 0, 94, 0];

foreach (Single::filterTrue($reportCardGrades) as $goodGrade) {

print($goodGrade);

} // 100, 95, 85, 94


### Filter False
Filter out elements from the iterable only returning elements where the predicate function is false.

If no predicate is provided, the boolean value of the data is used.

use IterTools\Single;

$alerts = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1];

foreach (Single::filterFalse($alerts) as $noAlert) {
    print($noAlert);
}
// 0, 0, 0, 0

Filter Keys

Filter out elements from the iterable only returning elements for which keys the predicate function is true.


use IterTools\Single;

$olympics = [

2000 => 'Sydney',
2002 => 'Salt Lake City',
2004 => 'Athens',
2006 => 'Turin',
2008 => 'Beijing',
2010 => 'Vancouver',
2012 => 'London',
2014 => 'Sochi',
2016 => 'Rio de Janeiro',
2018 => 'Pyeongchang',
2020 => 'Tokyo',
2022 => 'Beijing',

];

$summerFilter = fn ($year) => $year % 4 === 0;

foreach (Single::filterKeys($olympics, $summerFilter) as $year => $hostCity) {

print("$year: $hostCity" . \PHP_EOL);

} // 2000: Sydney // 2004: Athens // 2008: Beijing // 2012: London // 2016: Rio de Janeiro // 2020: Tokyo


### Flat Map
Map a function only the elements of the iterable and then flatten the results.

use IterTools\Single;

$data   = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$mapper = fn ($item) => [$item, -$item];

foreach (Single::flatMap($data, $mapper) as $number) {
    print($number . ' ');
}
// 1 -1 2 -2 3 -3 4 -4 5 -5

Flatten

Flatten a multidimensional iterable.


use IterTools\Single;

$multidimensional = [1, [2, 3], [4, 5]];

$flattened = []; foreach (Single::flatten($multidimensional) as $number) {

$flattened[] = $number;

} // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


### Group By
Group data by a common data element.

  • The `$groupKeyFunction` determines the key to group elements by.
  • The optional `$itemKeyFunction` allows custom indexes within each group member.
use IterTools\Single;

$cartoonCharacters = [
    ['Garfield', 'cat'],
    ['Tom', 'cat'],
    ['Felix', 'cat'],
    ['Heathcliff', 'cat'],
    ['Snoopy', 'dog'],
    ['Scooby-Doo', 'dog'],
    ['Odie', 'dog'],
    ['Donald', 'duck'],
    ['Daffy', 'duck'],
];

$charactersGroupedByAnimal = [];
foreach (Single::groupBy($cartoonCharacters, fn ($x) => $x[1]) as $animal => $characters) {
    $charactersGroupedByAnimal[$animal] = $characters;
}
/*
'cat' => [
    ['Garfield', 'cat'],
    ['Tom', 'cat'],
    ['Felix', 'cat'],
    ['Heathcliff', 'cat'],
],
'dog' => [
    ['Snoopy', 'dog'],
    ['Scooby-Doo', 'dog'],
    ['Odie', 'dog'],
],
'duck' => [
    ['Donald', 'duck'],
    ['Daffy', 'duck'],
*/

Limit

Iterate up to a limit.

Stops even if more data available if limit reached.


use IterTools\Single;

$matrixMovies = ['The Matrix', 'The Matrix Reloaded', 'The Matrix Revolutions', 'The Matrix Resurrections']; $limit = 1;

foreach (Single::limit($matrixMovies, $limit) as $goodMovie) {

print($goodMovie);

} // 'The Matrix' (and nothing else)

Stream

Streams provide a fluent interface to transform arrays and iterables through a pipeline of operations.

Streams are made up of:

  1. One stream source factory method to create the stream.
  2. Zero or more stream operators that transform the stream to a new stream.
  3. Terminal operation of either:
    * Stream terminal operation to transform the stream to a value or data structure.
    $result = Stream::of([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5])
       ->distinct()                  // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
       ->map(fn ($x) => $x2)       // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
       ->filter(fn ($x) => $x < 10)  // [1, 4, 9]
       ->toSum();                    // 14
    
    * The stream is iterated via a `foreach` loop.
    
    $result = Stream::of([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5]) ->distinct() // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ->map(fn ($x) => $x2) // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] ->filter(fn ($x) => $x < 10); // [1, 4, 9] foreach ($result as $item) { // 1, 4, 9 }

- Returns null if collection is empty.

use IterTools\Stream;

$input = [1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3];

$result = Stream::of($iterable)

->toMin();

// -3


##### To Min Max
Reduces iterable source to array of its upper and lower bounds (max and min).

  • Optional callable param `$compareBy` must return comparable value.
  • If `$compareBy` is not provided then items of given collection must be comparable.
  • Returns `[null, null]` if given collection is empty.

    ->toArray();
// [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

To Associative Array

Returns a key-value map of stream elements.


use IterTools\Stream;

$keyFunc

$array = Stream::of(['message 1', 'message 2', 'message 3'])

->map('strtoupper')
->toAssociativeArray(
    fn ($s) => \md5($s),
    fn ($s) => $s
);

// [3b3f2272b3b904d342b2d0df2bf31ed4 => MESSAGE 1, 43638d919cfb8ea31979880f1a2bb146 => MESSAGE 2, ... ]


##### Tee
Return several independent (duplicated) streams.

use IterTools\Transform;

$daysOfWeek = ['Mon', 'Tues', 'Wed', 'Thurs', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun'];
$count = 3;

[$week1Stream, $week2Stream, $week3Stream] = Stream::of($daysOfWeek)
    ->tee($count);

// Each $weekStream contains ['Mon', 'Tues', 'Wed', 'Thurs', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']

Side Effect Terminal Operations

Call For Each

Perform an action via a callable on each item in the stream.


use IterTools\Stream;

$languages = ['PHP', 'Python', 'Java', 'Go']; $mascots = ['elephant', 'snake', 'bean', 'gopher'];

$zipPrinter = fn ($zipped) => print("{$zipped[0]}'s mascot: {$zipped[1]}");

Stream::of($languages)

->zipWith($mascots)
->callForEach($zipPrinter);

// PHP's mascot: elephant // Python's mascot: snake // ...


##### Print
Prints each item in the stream.

* Items must be printable.

use IterTools\Stream;

$words = ['IterTools', 'PHP', 'v1.0'];

Stream::of($words)->print();                       // IterToolsPHPv1.0
Stream::of($words)->print('-');                    // IterTools-PHP-v1.0
Stream::of($words)->print('-', 'Library: ');       // Library: IterTools-PHP-v1.0
Stream::of($words)->print('-', 'Library: ', '!');  // Library: IterTools-PHP-v1.0!

Print Line

Prints each item in the stream on its own line.

  • Items must be printable.

use IterTools\Stream;

$words = ['IterTools', 'PHP', 'v1.0'];

Stream::of($words)->printLn(); // IterTools // PHP // v1.0


##### Print R
`print_r` each item in the stream.

use IterTools\Stream;

$items = [$string, $array, $object];

Stream::of($words)->printR();
// print_r output

To CSV File

Write the contents of the stream to a CSV file.


use IterTools\Stream;

$starWarsMovies = [

['Star Wars: Episode IV ? A New Hope', 'IV', 1977],
['Star Wars: Episode V ? The Empire Strikes Back', 'V', 1980],
['Star Wars: Episode VI ? Return of the Jedi', 'VI', 1983],

]; $header = ['title', 'episode', 'year'];

Stream::of($data)

->toCsvFile($fh, $header);

// title,episode,year // "Star Wars: Episode IV ? A New Hope",IV,1977 // "Star Wars: Episode V ? The Empire Strikes Back",V,1980 // "Star Wars: Episode VI ? Return of the Jedi",VI,1983


##### To File
Write the contents of the stream to a file.

use IterTools\Stream;

$data = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$header = '<ul>';
$footer = '</ul>';

Stream::of($data)
    ->map(fn ($item) => "  <li>$item</li>")
    ->toFile($fh, \PHP_EOL, $header, $footer);

// <ul>
//   <li>item1</li>
//   <li>item2</li>
//   <li>item3</li>
// </ul>

Var Dump

var_dump each item in the stream.


use IterTools\Stream;

$items = [$string, $array, $object];

Stream::of($words)->varDump(); // var_dump output


## Composition
IterTools can be combined to create new iterable compositions.
#### Zip Strings

use IterTools\Multi; use IterTools\Single;

$letters = 'ABCDEFGHI'; $numbers = '123456789';

foreach (Multi::zip(Single::string($letters), Single::string($numbers)) as [$letter, $number]) {

 $battleshipMove = new BattleshipMove($letter, $number)

} // A1, B2, C3


#### Chain Strings

use IterTools\Multi; use IterTools\Single;

$letters = 'abc'; $numbers = '123';

foreach (Multi::chain(Single::string($letters), Single::string($numbers)) as $character) {

print($character);

} // a, b, c, 1, 2, 3


## Strict and Coercive Types

When there is an option, the default will do strict type comparisons:

* scalars: compares strictly by type
* objects: always treats different instances as not equal to each other
* arrays: compares serialized

When type coercion (non-strict types) is available and enabled via optional flag:

* scalars: compares by value via type juggling
* objects: compares serialized
* arrays: compares serialized
