[MUSIC]

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,580
Congratulations on creating and
using your first class.

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,580
Now that we have all these
recipes what do we do with them?

4
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:16,110
Organization helps us use
things more effectively.

5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:19,710
And the first step for
organization is grouping things.

6
00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:22,130
So how would we group recipes?

7
00:00:22,130 --> 00:00:24,160
In a cookbook of course.

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,330
I'm a bit of a cookbookaholic.

9
00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:29,060
I drastically cut my
collection when we moved.

10
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:31,639
And I try to avoid that
section of the bookstore now.

11
00:00:31,639 --> 00:00:34,255
But what does that mean for our program?

12
00:00:34,255 --> 00:00:38,500
We could simply group all
our objects in an array.

13
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,120
We've done this type of thing before and

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,720
an array, can be extremely
powerful in its own right.

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,240
Especially when used with PHP's
built in array functions.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,290
But we want our cookbook,
to be more than just a group of objects.

17
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:58,310
We want this group to be
able to perform some actions

18
00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:02,250
such as filter by property or
give us a shopping list.

19
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:06,100
Can we create an object of objects?

20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:07,630
Yes we can.

21
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:13,750
A collection object can hold a group
of objects, typically stored in array.

22
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:19,720
A collection object also allows us to
perform actions on the stored objects.

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,480
Most data persistence frameworks
have their own implementation of

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,380
the collection object.

25
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:30,100
And, there are some more advanced options
that I'll link to in the teachers notes.

26
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:32,680
For this project, we're going to create

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,650
a simple collection class with
the specific actions that we want to use.

28
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:41,330
To start with,
we're going to create a new class.

29
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:44,410
So we need to create a new
file in our classes folder.

30
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:51,657
We'll name this recipecollection.php.

31
00:01:53,372 --> 00:01:59,820
We open our php tag, and then we create
a new class called RecipeCollection.

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,440
Again, we're using studly caps.

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,170
We're going to use two properties,
a title.

34
00:02:11,741 --> 00:02:17,190
To name our collection and
a recipes array to store our recipes.

35
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:23,763
Like we did with the recipe class,
we'll make these properties private and

36
00:02:23,763 --> 00:02:26,120
we'll add getters and setters.

37
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,800
We can use the getter and setter for
the title directly from our recipe class.

38
00:02:34,634 --> 00:02:36,950
We can also grab the constructor as well.

39
00:02:45,405 --> 00:02:48,581
This will allow us to give it a title
at the same time as we instantiate

40
00:02:48,581 --> 00:02:49,970
our object.

41
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:52,710
Next we need to be able to add a recipe.

42
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:53,720
Let's create a new method.

43
00:02:57,198 --> 00:02:59,270
We'll call this add recipe.

44
00:02:59,270 --> 00:03:06,015
We're going to accept a recipe And
add it to our array

45
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:19,789
Finally, we need to add
public function getRecipes.

46
00:03:22,832 --> 00:03:27,520
And then we return this recipes.

47
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:33,360
Let's go back into our cookbook and
create a cookbook object.

48
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,370
First we need to include
our new class file.

49
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,110
Next, we can instantiate
a cookbook object.

50
00:03:55,870 --> 00:03:59,923
We'll use new RecipeCollection and

51
00:03:59,923 --> 00:04:05,420
then we'll pass in a title,
Treehouse Recipes.

52
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:12,770
Now we can add the recipes to our cookbook
collection using the add recipe method.

53
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:25,510
If we go into our recipes file,
we can grab all of our recipes.

54
00:05:01,780 --> 00:05:04,880
Now let's try a var_dump
on our cookbook object.

55
00:05:12,612 --> 00:05:13,490
Let's hide this line.

56
00:05:23,794 --> 00:05:24,820
Now let's run our script.

57
00:05:33,336 --> 00:05:34,548
Class.

58
00:05:34,548 --> 00:05:37,198
Not new.

59
00:05:44,242 --> 00:05:45,730
Wow that's a lot of information.

60
00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:49,630
But that means we have a basic group for
the collection object.

61
00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:53,310
But it's not really doing any more than
just getting and setting an array.

62
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:55,200
So let's start enhancing our collection.
