Does anyone here use a LINQ derivative / port for their projects? Coming from the .NET World, this is one of the things I miss the most when developing in PHP. Then I came across these 2 projects. For PHP : https://github.com/Athari/YaLinqo For JS: https://github.com/mihaifm/linq Why I chose those 2 over others : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5792388/is-there-something-in-php-equivalent-to-linq-in-c I was wondering if anyone had experience using either one of them AND LINQ in .NET and could share their experiences? You might wonder why you would use LINQ ? The main benefits are better code readability (doing away with if -> then statements), a unified way of querying data in front and backend (Syntax is SQL derived) and applying paradigms from functional programming (See doing away with if->thens) // linq.js - anonymous function Enumerable.Range(1, 10) .where(function(i) { return i % 3 == 0; }) .select(function(i) { return i * 10; }); // Alternative shorter syntax using default variable names $result2 = from($categories) ->orderBy('$v["name"]') ->groupJoin( from($products) ->where('$v["quantity"] > 0') ->orderByDescending('$v["quantity"]') ->thenBy('$v["name"]'), '$v["id"]', '$v["catId"]', 'array( "name" => $v["name"], "products" => $e )' );
