Laravel 5 Collections: Checking If a Collection Contains Items With isNotEmpty

By John Koster

The isNotEmpty method is the logical opposite of the isEmpty method; and it will return a boolean indicating whether or not the collection is not empty.

#Signature

1public function isNotEmpty();

#Example Use

The following example demonstrates the basic usage of the isNotEmpty method:

 1use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

 2

 3// Create a new collection instance.

 4$collection = new Collection;

 5

 6// false

 7$empty = $collection->isNotEmpty();

 8

 9// Add an item to the collection.

10$collection[] = 'First item';

11

12// true

13$empty = $collection->isNotEmpty();

14

15// false

16$empty = $collection->isEmpty();
