IterTools - PHP Iteration Tools to Power Up Your Loops

Inspired by Python—designed for PHP.

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) => $x**2)      // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
    ->filter(fn ($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.

Multi::chain(iterable ...$iterables)

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.

Multi::zip(iterable ...$iterables)

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.

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.

Multi::zipEqual(iterable ...$iterables)

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]
}

ZipFilled

Iterate multiple iterable collections simultaneously, using a default filler value if lengths are not equal.

Multi::zipFilled(mixed $filler, iterable ...$iterables)

use IterTools\Multi;

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

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

ZipLongest

Iterate multiple iterable collections simultaneously.

Multi::zipLongest(iterable ...$iterables)

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]
}

Single Iteration

Chunkwise

Return elements in chunks of a certain size.

Single::chunkwise(iterable $data, int $chunkSize)

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.

Single::chunkwiseOverlap(iterable $data, int $chunkSize, int $overlapSize, bool $includeIncompleteTail = true)

• 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.

Single::compress(string $data, $selectors)

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.

Single::compressAssociative(string $data, array $selectorKeys)

• 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.

Single::dropWhile(iterable $data, callable $predicate)

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.

Single::filter(iterable $data, callable $predicate)

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.

Single::filterTrue(iterable $data)

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.

Single::filterFalse(iterable $data, callable $predicate)

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.

Single::filterKeys(iterable $data, callable $predicate)

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.

Single::flatMap(iterable $data, callable $mapper)

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

foreach (Single::flatten($multidimensional) as $number) {
    $flattened[] = $number;
}
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Group By

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) => $x**2)       // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
      ->filter(fn ($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])

$stream->toCsvFile(resource $fileHandle, array $header = null, string 'separator = ',', string $enclosure = '"', string $escape = '\\'): void

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.

$stream->toFile(resource $fileHandle, string $newLineSeparator = \PHP_EOL, string $header = null, string $footer = null): void

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>

Stream Debug Operations

Peek

Peek at each element between other Stream operations to do some action without modifying the stream.

$stream->peek(callable $callback): Stream

use IterTools\Stream;

$logger = new SimpleLog\Logger('/tmp/log.txt', 'iterTools');

Stream::of(['some', 'items'])
  ->map('strtoupper')
  ->peek(fn ($x) => $logger->info($x))
  ->foreach($someComplexCallable);

Peek Stream

Peek at the entire stream between other Stream operations to do some action without modifying the stream.

$stream->peekStream(callable $callback): Stream

use IterTools\Stream;

$logger = new SimpleLog\Logger('/tmp/log.txt', 'iterTools');

Stream::of(['some', 'items'])
  ->map('strtoupper')
  ->peekStream(fn ($stream) => $logger->info($stream))
  ->foreach($someComplexCallable);

Peek Print

Peek at each element between other Stream operations to print each item without modifying the stream.

$stream->peekPrint(string $separator = '', string $prefix = '', string $suffix = ''): void

use IterTools\Stream;

Stream::of(['some', 'items'])
  ->map('strtoupper')
  ->peekPrint()
  ->foreach($someComplexCallable);

Peek PrintR

Peek at each element between other Stream operations to print_r each item without modifying the stream.

$stream->peekPrintR(callable $callback): void

use IterTools\Stream;

Stream::of(['some', 'items'])
  ->map('strtoupper')
  ->peekPrintR()
  ->foreach($someComplexCallable);

Print R

print_r each item in the stream.

$stream->printR(): void

use IterTools\Stream;

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

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

Var Dump

var_dump each item in the stream.

$stream->varDump(): void

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
