README

Lazy array function chains inspired by Rust

Design goals

1. Be lazy (as in Lazily evaluated)
2. Have a similar interface to Rust's Iterator
3. Leverage static code analyzers to validate type correctness

Install

composer require nicofff/lazy-iter

PHP 7.4 required

Examples

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use LazyIter\LazyIter;
use LazyIter\Helpers\Generators\Range;

// Calculate the sum of all the squared numbers below a million
$sum_squares_under_a_million = 
    (new LazyIter(Range::rangeFrom(1))) // Start with an iterator over all positive numbers
	->map(fn($n) => pow($n,2) ) // Square each one of them
	->take_while(fn($n) => $n < 1_000_000 ) // Stop once we reach a million
	->sum(); // sum them

echo $sum_squares_under_a_million;

Project status

Methods implemented (based on Rust's Iterator Trait)

• all
• any
• chain
• collect
• count
• cycle
• filter
• fold
• for_each
• last
• map
• nth
• skip
• sum
• take
• take_while

Type Enforcement

Currently using PHPStan for type validation. Check type_tests for a list of things it caches for each method

Example

LazyIter::fromArray([2,4,6,8])
->for_each(function(string $n): void{
	echo $n;
});

Raises:

Parameter #1 $callable of method                                      
         LazyIter\LazyIter<int,int>::for_each() expects callable(int): mixed,  
         Closure(string): void given.
