Class NestIterator

A type of collection that is aware of nested items and exposes methods to check or retrieve them

IteratorIterator implements Iterator, Traversable, OuterIterator
Extended by Cake\Collection\Collection implements Cake\Collection\CollectionInterface, Serializable uses Cake\Collection\CollectionTrait
Extended by Cake\Collection\Iterator\NestIterator implements RecursiveIterator

Properties summary

  • $_nestKey protected
    string|callable
    The name of the property that contains the nested items for each element

Method Summary

  • __construct() public
    Constructor
  • getChildren() public
    Returns a traversable containing the children for the current item
  • hasChildren() public

    Returns true if there is an array or a traversable object stored under the configured nestKey for the current item

Method Detail

__construct()source public

__construct( array|Traversable $items , string|callable $nestKey )

Constructor

Parameters

array|Traversable $items
Collection items.
string|callable $nestKey

the property that contains the nested items If a callable is passed, it should return the childrens for the passed item

Throws

InvalidArgumentException
If passed incorrect type for items.

Overrides

Cake\Collection\Collection::__construct()

getChildren()source public

getChildren( )

Returns a traversable containing the children for the current item

Returns

Traversable

Implementation of

RecursiveIterator::getChildren()

hasChildren()source public

hasChildren( )

Returns true if there is an array or a traversable object stored under the configured nestKey for the current item

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

RecursiveIterator::hasChildren()

Methods inherited from Cake\Collection\Collection

__debugInfo()source public

__debugInfo( )

Returns an array that can be used to describe the internal state of this object.

Returns

array

count()source public

count( )

Throws an exception.

Issuing a count on a Collection can have many side effects, some making the Collection unusable after the count operation.

Throws

LogicException

serialize( )

Returns a string representation of this object that can be used to reconstruct it

Returns

string

Implementation of

Serializable::serialize()

unserialize()source public

unserialize( string $collection )

Unserializes the passed string and rebuilds the Collection instance

Parameters

string $collection
The serialized collection

Implementation of

Serializable::unserialize()
