Is it possible to use mutators on array? Laravel - php

Question

I have a table like this:
#foreach($order->cart->items as $item)
<tr>
<th scope="row"><img class="basketimg mr-1" src="/img/products/{{$item['img']}}"><span class="basket-prod-name">{{ $item->Short_Prod_Name() }}</span></th>
<td class="text-center">
<div class="prodcount">{{$item['qty']}}</div>
</td>
<td class="text-right">{{$item['cost']}}AZN</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
And for the name, I want to use a murator to strip out the name that is too long.
Here is:
public function getShortProdNameAttribute()
{
return substr($this->name, 0, 10);
}
Now how can I use it?
$item['Short_Prod_Name'] doesn't work, this is the first time I try to use a mutator on an array. How can i do this?
P.S.In other questions, they wrote that it is better to use casts, but still, is the mutator applicable here?

Answer 1

According to the Laravel convention, the getShortProdNameAttribute() mutator will resolve to the short_prod_name attribute:
$item->short_prod_name
Rememeber to append the additional attribute in the Item class:
protected $appends = ['short_prod_name']
Thusly, the full code snippet is as follows:
#foreach($order->cart->items as $item)
<tr>
<th scope="row"><img class="basketimg mr-1" src="/img/products/{{$item['img']}}"><span class="basket-prod-name">{{ $item->short_prod_name }}</span></th>
<td class="text-center">
<div class="prodcount">{{$item['qty']}}</div>
</td>
<td class="text-right">{{$item['cost']}}AZN</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
An alternative solution to address our problem is to use Str::limit:
#foreach($order->cart->items as $item)
<tr>
<th scope="row"><img class="basketimg mr-1" src="/img/products/{{$item['img']}}"><span class="basket-prod-name">{{ Str::limit($item->name, 10) }}</span></th>
<td class="text-center">
<div class="prodcount">{{$item['qty']}}</div>
</td>
<td class="text-right">{{$item['cost']}}AZN</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
