ASCOOS OS – TCollection

A lightweight, object‑only Deep Core collection class for the ASCOOS Web Operating System.

---

Overview

TCollection is a Deep Core class of the ASCOOS OS Kernel.
It provides a simple, predictable, non‑chainable collection structure that stores only objects (not arrays, not scalars).

It is designed for internal Kernel usage and for developers who need strict, object‑based collections with optional type enforcement.

Implements:

• ArrayAccess
• Countable
• IteratorAggregate
• JsonSerializable

---

Features

• ✔ Stores only objects
• ✔ Optional strict type enforcement (instanceof)
• ✔ Array‑like access
• ✔ Filtering, mapping, grouping
• ✔ diff() & intersect()
• ✔ JSON serialization
• ✔ Deep Core Kernel class (always loaded)
• ✔ Fully documented with DoBu

For array/data manipulation, use TArrayHandler instead.

Namespace

use Ascoos\OS\Kernel\Core\Collections\TCollection;

Basic Example

$users = new TCollection();

$user = new stdClass();
$user->name = 'John';

$users->add($user);

echo $users->count(); // 1

---

Typed Collections (via TCollector)

use Ascoos\OS\Kernel\Core\Collections\TCollector;

TCollector::register('user', App\Models\User::class);

$users = TCollector::create('user');

$users->add(new User()); // OK
