A few weeks ago, Jmac tweeted out an excellent idea. What if we could use try and catch in a collection chain?
Collections are the jam. Yet they leave me dreaming of more.

Take this block that performs some custom validation logic by leveraging a value object constructor.
Collections definitely streamline it, but what if I could also chain the exception handling… 🔥 pic.twitter.com/4jj0uFgwWb
Meanwhile, Jmac and I did a few code pairing sessions to work on a possible implementation. We've added try and catch methods to the laravel-collection-macros package.
In this blog post, I'd like to share what you can do with these methods and how they work under the hood.

Tim MacDonald demonstrates how you can add logic to a custom collection.
Laravel collections have become an essential part of my codebases and I couldn't imagine working without them. I have found giving collections the voice of the problem domain makes for a much nicer API when compared to the generic collection methods.
