The whereStrict
method is similar to the where
method, but it will always use strict comparisons when determining the results to return.
#Signature
1public function whereStrict(
2 $key,
3 $value
4);
#Example Use
The $sampleCollection
collection instance will be used in the following examples:
1$sampleCollection = collect([
2 [
3 'name' => 'Desk',
4 'price' => 499.99
5 ],
6 [
7 'name' => 'Office Chair',
8 'price' => '499.99'
9 ]
10]);
If you noticed, the first product (Desk
) has its price specified as a float value, and the second product (Office Chair
) has its specified as a string.
The following example are behaviorally equivalent:
1$products = $sampleCollection
2 ->where('price', '===', 499.99, true);
3
4$products = $sampleCollection
5 ->whereStrict('price', 499.99);
In both bases in the previous example, the $products
collection would only contain the product Desk
; this is because the whereStrict
method (as well as the where
method when the $operator
is set to ===
) will compare the types on both sides of the comparison operator.
