])

collection.contains('name', 'Simon')

collection = Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
collection.forget(1)
collection.all()

WARNING

Unlike most other collection methods, forget does not return a new modified collection; it modifies the collection it is called on.

collection = Collection([
    {'account_id': 1, 'product': 'Desk'},
    {'account_id': 2, 'product': 'Chair'}
])

collection.implode('product', ', ')

#### Desk, Chair

If the collection contains simple strings, simply pass the "glue" as the only argument to the method:

collection.last()

#### 4

multiplied = collection.map(lambda item: item * 2)

multiplied.all()

#### [2, 4, 6, 8]

collection.transform(lambda item: item * 2)
collection.all()
