Laravel 5 Collections Static API: Creating a New Collection Instance From Arrays Using make

By John Koster

The make static method creates a new instance of a collection with the provided $items (assuming that the provided $items argument is not already a collection instance).

#Signature

1public static function make(

2    $items = []

3);

#Example Use

The following code sample highlights the usage of the make static method:

 1use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

 2

 3$items = [

 4    'sea'  => 'Mosasaurus',

 5    'air'  => 'Argentavis magnificens',

 6    'land' => 'Dusicyon australis'

 7];

 8

 9$collection = Collection::make($items);

10

11// true

12$isCollection = $collection instanceof Collection;
