## What it is
A Spatie PHP package that adds a set of handy macros to Laravel's collection class, such as after, at, filterMap, validate, split, and dd. It installs via Composer and automatically registers itself with a Laravel application.

## Use cases
- add extra methods to Laravel collections
- validate every item in a collection with a rule
- split a collection into a given number of groups
- debug collection contents with dd
- map and filter collections in one pass
- group collection items by Eloquent model

## When to choose
- you use Laravel and repeatedly write the same collection helper logic
- you want well-tested, community-maintained collection extensions
- you want expressive collection operations like eachCons, extract, or fromPairs

## When to avoid
- you don't use the Laravel framework
- you only need one or two trivial helpers you can write yourself
- you need framework-agnostic collection utilities outside Laravel

## Facets
- artifact type: library
