IterTools - PHP Iteration Tools to Power Up Your Loops
Inspired by Pythonโdesigned 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

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.

'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) {

];
$goodMovies = [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0];
foreach (Single::compress($movies, $goodMovies) as $goodMovie) {
print($goodMovie);
}
// 'A New Hope', 'Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi', 'The Force Awakens'

print("$episode: $title" . \PHP_EOL);
}
// IV: A New Hope
// V: The Empire Strikes Back
// VI: Return of the Jedi

Stream

- Zero or more stream operators that transform the stream to a new stream.
- Terminal operation of either:
- Stream terminal operation to transform the stream to a value or data structure.

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
