How to chain multiple collection operations together in illuminate/collections?

To chain multiple collection operations together in Illuminate/Collections, you can make use of the method chaining provided by this library. Illuminate/Collections provides a variety of methods to manipulate and perform operations on collections.

Here's an example of how to chain multiple collection operations using Illuminate/Collections:

Start by creating or obtaining a collection:

$data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$collection = collect($data);

Chain the desired collection operations together:

$result = $collection->map(function ($item) {
    return $item * 2;
})
->filter(function ($item) {
    return $item > 5;
})
->sortByDesc(function ($item) {
    return $item;
})
->values();

In this example, we are chaining three collection operations:

map: Multiply each item in the collection by 2.
filter: Keep only the numbers that are greater than 5.
sortByDesc: Sort the remaining numbers in descending order.
values: Reset the keys of the collection.

Note that each operation is performed on the result of the previous operation, allowing you to chain them together as needed.

Access the result of the chained operations:

$result->all(); // [10, 8, 6]

In this case, the resulting collection will have the values [10, 8, 6].

You can chain as many operations as you need to achieve your desired result. The order in which you chain the operations matters, as each operation works on the collection produced by the previous operation.
