Enum field filtration in Laravel - php

Question

I need to add a drop-down menu that filtrates with enum values from the table. Instead of that it gets the values from the rows. Any and all help gratefully received.
This is what I have managed to get so far.
View:
<div>
<span>
<select class="mb-2">
<option value="Status" disabled selected>Status</option>
#foreach ($status_filter as $key => $status)
<option value="{{ $key }}">
{{$status}}
</option>
#endforeach
</select>
</span>
</div>
Controller:
$status_filter = Competition::pluck('status');
$request->flash();
return view('competition.index', compact('competitions', 'status_filter'));
This is what I need to get from the migration:
$table->enum('status',['inactive','to_push','active'])->default('inactive');

Answer 1

You can grab those enum values from the table. But there is no direct way. You have to use laravel query builder using raw.
$statusValues = DB::select(DB::raw("SHOW COLUMNS FROM competitions WHERE Field = 'status' "))[0]->Type;
$matches = array();
preg_match('/^enum\((.*)\)$/', $statusValues, $matches);
$enumValues = array();
foreach( explode(',', $matches[1]) as $value )
{
$v = trim( $value, "'" );
$enumValues = $v;
}
print_r($enumValues)

Answer 2

If i got it right you want to make a filter for status like listing all active ou inactive. I think the easiest way to do this is add a query on your variable $status_filter on the controller. Something like: $status_filter = Competition::where('status', 'active')->pluck('status');

As #SazzadHussain suggested adding this block of code inside my model class solved the issue.
public static function getPossibleEnumValues($table, $column) {
$type = DB::select(DB::raw("SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table WHERE Field = '{$column}'"))[0]->Type ;
preg_match('/^enum\((.*)\)$/', $type, $matches);
$enum = array();
foreach( explode(',', $matches[1]) as $value )
{
$v = trim( $value, "'" );
$enum = Arr::add($enum, $v, $v);
}
return $enum;
}
After that getting it from my Controller like that:
$enumoption = Competition::getPossibleEnumValues('competitions','status');
