Sure.
In general, I just thinking about how it can be useful to iterate over
values on a library itself.
Laravel, for instance, have method Collection::where(), but it
currently doesn't accepts an operator, although it should be very
useful.
It could be implemented like it:
function where($index, $value, $operator = '==') {
return array_filter($this->array, function ($arrayValue,
$arrayIndex) use ($index, $value, $operator) {
return compare($arrayValue[$index], $value, $operator);
});
}
$collection->where('id', 1, '>');
Currently it could be done by using "filter" and writing an
user-defined function with > usage.
But the problem is when this condition is client-defined, not
developer-defined. For instance:
<select name="compare"> lower, greater, lower-equal, greater-equal,
equal </select>
In this case, I should implements a switch, where a compare() should works fine.
