Introduction

Collections in PyroCMS work exactly the same as collections in Laravel.

PyroCMS comes with it's own \Anomaly\Streams\Platform\Support\Collection class that extends Laravel's base collection.

The pad method pads the items to assure the item array is a certain size.

Key	Required	Type	Default	Description
$size	true	integer	none	The size to pad the items to.
$value	false	mixed	null	The value to use for the pad items.

$collection->pad(10, 'No item.');

{% for item in collection.pad(10, 'No item.') %}
    {{ item }}
{% endfor %}

The skip method is a shortcut alias for slice.

Key	Required	Type	Default	Description
$offset	true	integer	none	The number of items to skip.

$collection->skip(10);

{% for item in collection.skip(10) %}
    {{ item }}
{% endfor %}

The __get method has been mapped to try for an item otherwise calls the camel cased attribute method name.

Key	Required	Type	Default	Description
$name	true	string	none	The index of the item to get or snake_case of the method to call.

// A collection of people is keyed by snake case first name
$people->ryan_thompson->favorite_color;

{{ people.ryan_thompson.favorite_color }}
