convert all the arrays of an array into a comprehensive collection

[amirex128]

In most of the projects I do with Laravel, I always need this, which is a collection to convert all the arrays of an array into a comprehensive collection.

\Illuminate\Support\Collection::macro('recursive', function () {
    return $this->map(function ($value) {
        if (is_array($value) || is_object($value)) {
            return collect($value)->recursive();
        }

        return $value;
    });
});

Usage is quite simple:

$data = [
    [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'emails' => [
            '[email protected]',
            '[email protected]',
        ],
        'contacts' => [
            [
                'name' => 'Richard Tea',
                'emails' => [
                    '[email protected]',
                ],
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Fergus Douchebag', // Ya, this was randomly generated for me :)
                'emails' => [
                    '[email protected]',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

$collection = collect($data)->recursive();

I'm currently doing this as follows: You'd better add this to your project to make working with Laravel easier.
