how to make an eloquent result into an array Laravel - php

Question

I want to combine two data search results into one array, I use array_merge but there is an array_merge() error:
Argument # 1 is not an array
How to turn $vendor's eloquent results into an array and combine it with $plucked?
$vendor = Vendor::find($id);
$vendor_detail = VendorDetail::where('vendor_id',$id)->get();
$plucked = $vendor_detail->pluck('vendor_profile_value','vendor_profile_name');
$coba = array_merge($vendor,$plucked);
$plucked already an array
I think the problem here is that $vendor is not yet an array

Answer 1

You could do it like this:
$vendor = Vendor::find($id);
$vendor_details = VendorDetail
::select('vendor_profile_value', 'vendor_profile_name')
->where('vendor_id', $id)
->get()
->toArray();
$coba = array_merge($vendor,$vendor_details);
The get() method execute the query returning a Collection instance, in which you can call the toArray() method.
Side note
As far as I can see, you could make use of relationships and eager loading.
If you have a one-to-many relationship defined like this in your Vendor model:
public function details()
{
return $this->hasMany(VendorDetails::class);
}
Then, you could eager load the relationship like this:
$vendor = Vendor::with('details')->find($id);
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You could even just load the wanted fields:
$vendor = Vendor::with('details:vendor_profile_value,vendor_profile_name')
->find($id);
Then, your object will have a new attribute called "details" containing the related objects (or a collection of the limited selected fields).

Answer 2

You can convert the $vendor to an Array like below.
$vendor = Vendor::find($id)->toArray();
