This adds the method reduceWithKeys to Collections and LazyCollections.
Similar to map and mapWithKeys, this augments reduce to pass associative arrays' keys to its callback. We can't do that currently because php's array_reduce doesn't pass array keys to its callback.

So, you can do this:

$data = collect([
    'name' => 'Mo Khosh',
    'username' => 'mokhosh',
]);

return $data->reduceWithKeys(function($carry, $value, $key) {
    return $carry . $key . ': ' . $value . PHP_EOL;
});

I tried to mirror what's already been done with map, mapWithKeys, reduce, and respective tests.

The naming here is quite unfortunate 😢

The WithKeys part of mapWithKeys does not mean that it passes the keys to the callback (the regular map already does that). It means that your callback also returns the keys for the new collection.

With this new reduceWithKeys method, the WithKeys part simply says that on each iteration the key will be passed in, but doesn't change anything about the callback's return value.


I would've much preferred not to even have this separate method. When do you ever need the initial value??

Would be much better to simply make this a breaking change in the next release, and have the regular reduce pass 4 arguments: $carry, $value, $key, $initial. That way, if you really need initial you can still use it.

I think initial is passed at the same level with the closure, it's not passed to the closure.

What do you say we just add $key to the reduce method and use the new implementation instead of array_reduce.
It's not even a breaking change. It just adds a new argument that'll be ignored if you don't use it.

Oh, I hadn't even checked, and took your word for it. I checked now, and $initial is indeed not being passed to the callback. Was wondering why you would ever want that!

So of course, we should just add it to reduce and be done with it 👍


BTW, this method can go into EnumeratesValues. No need to duplicate the code.

One difference I see between some Collection and LazyCollection iterations is we iterate over $this->items in Collections and over $this in LazyCollections.
Do you think we can add this to EnumeratesValues regardless?

Yes. You can always just iterate over $this.
