I have a line of code similar to the following:
Sport::pluck('id', 'name)
I am dealing with frontend JavaScript that expects a list in this format:
var list = [
{ text: 'Football', value: 1 },
{ text: 'Basketball', value: 2 },
{ text: 'Volleyball', value: 3 }
...
]
I am trying to figure out how I can somehow transform the id and name values that I pluck from my model to a format similar to the Javascript list.
If that's unclear, I am looking to end up with an associative array that contains two keys: text and value, where text represents the name field on my model, and where value represents the id of the model - I hope this makes sense.
How would I approach this?
I initially tried something like this (without checking the documentation)
Sport::pluck(["id" => "value", "name" => "text]);
But that isn't how you do it, which is quite clear now. I've also tried some map-related snippet, which I cannot seem to Ctrl-z to.
Any suggestions?
Another method is to use map->only():
Sport::all()->map->only('id', 'name');
The purpose of pluck is not what you intend to do,
Please have a look at below examples,
Sport::selectRaw("id as value, name as text")->pluck("text","value");
// ['1' => 'Football', '2'=>'BasketBall','3'=>'Volleyball',...]
Syntax
$plucked = $collection->pluck('name', 'product_id');
// ['prod-100' => 'Desk', 'prod-200' => 'Chair']
Please see the documentation.
Your output is possible using simple code.
Sport::selectRaw('id as value, name as text')->get();
You could use map.(https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/collections#method-map)
$mapped = Sport::all()->map(function($item, $index) {
return [
"id" => $item["id"],
"name" => $item["text"]
];
});
This is the easiest way. Actually Laravel offers a better way for it. You can use api resources to transform your data from eloquent for the frontend:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/eloquent-resources
Try with toArray function:
Sport::pluck('id', 'name)->toArray();
Then you can return your result with json_encode php function;

I have the following line to get an array of collections.
$tags = Tag::all()->map->only(['id', 'name']);
Which produces the following data.
[{"id":1,"name":"tag 2"},{"id":2,"name":"tag 3"},{"id":3,"name":"tag-44"},{"id":4,"name":"biyoloji"}]
My objective is to rename the key names inside the collections as follows.
[{"value":1,"text":"tag 2"},{"value":2,"text":"tag 3"},{"value":3,"text":"tag-44"},{"value":4,"text":"biyoloji"}]
Basically, I want to rename "key" to "value" and "name" to "text." I tried the pluck() function, get() function, mapping but couldn't get it to work. Most probably, iterating over it with foreach and toArray() would do the trick, but I'm looking for the proper way to do it. My environment is Laravel 8 with PHP 7.4
The best way I can propose:
$tags = Tag::query()->get(['id', 'name'])
->map(function($tag){
return [
'value' => $tag->id,
'text' => $tag->name,
];
})
->toArray();
Pay attention to get(['id', 'name]) invoking. Passing required fields to get method helps improving query performance. Specially if there are lots of unused columns in the table.
You can do this via your query more efficiently
$tags = Tag::get(['id as value', 'name as text']);
In my resource I've got an object like below:
return [
'something' => $this->somerelationship->implode('name',',')
];
Now it returns this result for me:
{
something [
"items,items,items"
]
}
But I want my implode to return a useable array in javascript not just making it 1 index of the array rather than that put each item in 1 slot of array-like below:
{
something
[
{items},{items},{items}"
]
}
How can I achieve that now ?
Instead of ->implode() (which takes an array and turn it into a string), try and do:
'something' => $this->somerelantionship->pluck('name')->all(),
The method pluck() returns an array with all the values from a specific key, which seems to be what you want.
You can return
json_encode($this->somerelationship->pluck('name')->toArray());
Then in your javascripts just JSON.parse() it or put it in a variable in blade:
var items = {!! json_decode($variable) !!}
In my HTML frontend, I have a jQuery DataTable displaying all records fetched via AJAX from the database - a rather pretty straight forward thing. I use the Laravel Collection's ->transform(function($o){ . . . }) to iterate through the collection and return it in an array-esque manner. Just think of the following piece of code in a controller:
$cAllRecords = DatabaseRecord::all();
if(!empty($aData['sFilterIds']))
{
$cAllRecords = $cAllRecords->whereIn('creator', explode(',', $aData['sFilterIds']));
}
return response()->json(['data' => $cAllRecords->transform(function ($oDatabaseRecord) {
/** #var $oDatabaseRecord DatabaseRecord */
$sActionsHtml = 'edit';
$sUrl = route('some.route', ['iDatabaseRecordId' => $oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('od')]);
return [
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('id'),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('updated_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('created_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$sActionsHtml
];
})]);
I'm actually just filtering for records created by certain user IDs (the whereIn() call in line 4. However, the response sent back to the client looks different for different users filtered leading the jQuery table to show 'no records available', as it had received an malformed answer from the server. For one user, the response looks like this:
{
"data":[
[
1,
"2019-05-29 16:44:53",
"2019-05-29 16:44:53",
"<a href=\"#\">edit<\/a>"
]
]
}
This is a correctly formed server response and will show up in the table regularly. Great! Now something that drives me insane - the same code for another user (ID 1, while the first request was for user ID 2) returns this:
{
"data":{
"1":[
3,
"2019-05-29 17:08:49",
"2019-05-29 17:08:49",
"<a href=\"#\">edit<\/a>"
]
}
}
which, pretty obviously, is malformed and is not correctly parsed by the datatable. OK, now combing them two filters and filtering for user ID 1 and 2 will, again, return the response correctly formatted:
{
"data":[
[
1,
"2019-05-29 16:44:53",
"2019-05-29 16:44:53",
"<a href=\"#\">edit<\/a>"
],
[
3,
"2019-05-29 17:08:49",
"2019-05-29 17:08:49",
"<a href=\"#\">edit<\/a>"
]
]
}
I tried a number of things, none of which had worked since it's merely guessing why it could work with one user and not with another. (Things like reversing the order of IDs to be filtered, etc., but I found out that the filtering is not the problem. It MUST be the transform, which behaves inconsistent.)
Any ideas on why this happens and how to tackle it? I mean, it's not the only way to achieve what I'm after, I was using ->each() and array_push for all the time before but wanted to get rid of it for the sake of making use of Laravel's helpers (or possibilites) - the manual iteration and array pushing process worked out seamlessly before, and even other parts of the app work well with the Collection transform over array iteration and pushing. Why doesn't it here?
Update: The ->map() collection method behaves exactly same. Map, as opposed by transform, does not alter the collection itself. However, this should not be a relevant part within this application any way. I really can't understand what's going wrong. Is this possibly Laravel's fault?
Please note that transform method returns a Illuminate\Support\Collection.
It's better that you call all() after the transform to get an array result.
Like this:
...
return response()->json(['data' => $cAllRecords->transform(function ($oDatabaseRecord) {
/** #var $oDatabaseRecord DatabaseRecord */
$sActionsHtml = 'edit';
$sUrl = route('some.route', ['iDatabaseRecordId' => $oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('od')]);
return [
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('id'),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('updated_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('created_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$sActionsHtml
];
})->all()]);
#Cvetan Mihaylov's answer made me look at all the available collection methods (https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/collections#available-methods) and I found ->values() to return the values reindexed. And - that did the trick! :-)
return response()->json(['data' => $cAllRecords->transform(function ($oDatabaseRecord) {
/** #var $oDatabaseRecord DatabaseRecord */
$sActionsHtml = 'edit';
$sUrl = route('some.route', ['iDatabaseRecordId' => $oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('od')]);
return [
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('id'),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('updated_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$oDatabaseRecord->getAttribute('created_at')->toDateTimeString(),
$sActionsHtml
];
})->values()]);
I have a laravel collection object.
I want to use the nth model within it.
How do I access it?
Edit:
I cannot find a suitable method in the laravel documentation. I could iterate the collection in a foreach loop and break when the nth item is found:
foreach($collection as $key => $object)
{
if($key == $nth) {break;}
}
// $object is now the nth one
But this seems messy.
A cleaner way would be to perform the above loop once and create a simple array containing all the objects in the collection. But this seems like unnecessary duplication.
In the laravel collection class documentation, there is a fetch method but I think this fetches an object from the collection matching a primary key, rather than the nth one in the collection.
Seeing as Illuminate\Support\Collection implements ArrayAccess, you should be able to simply use square-bracket notation, ie
$collection[$nth]
This calls offsetGet internally which you can also use
$collection->offsetGet($nth)
and finally, you can use the get method which allows for an optional default value
$collection->get($nth)
// or
$collection->get($nth, 'some default value')
#Phil's answer doesn't quite obtain the nth element, since the keys may be unordered. If you've got an eloquent collection from a db query it'll work fine, but if your keys aren't sequential then you'll need to do something different.
$collection = collect([0 => 'bish', 2 => 'bash']); $collection[1] // Undefined index
Instead we can do $collection->values()[1] // string(4) bash
which uses array_values()
Or even make a macro to do this:
Collection::macro('nthElement', function($offset, $default = null) {
return $this->values()->get($offset, $default);
}):
Example macro usage:
$collection = collect([0 => 'bish', 2 => 'bash']);
$collection->nthElement(1) // string(4) 'bash'
$collection->nthElement(3) // undefined index
$collection->nthElement(3, 'bosh') // string (4) bosh
I am late to this question, but I thought this might be a useful solution for someone.
Collections have the slice method with the following parameters:
$items->slice(whereToStartSlice, sizeOfSlice);
Therefore, if you set the whereToStartSlice parameter at the nth item and the sizeOfSlice to 1 you retrieve the nth item.
Example:
$nthItem = $items->slice($nth,1);
If you are having problems with the collection keeping the indices after sorting... you can make a new collection out of the values of that collection and try accessing the newly indexed collection like you would expect:
e.g. Get the second highest priced item in a collection
$items = collect(
[
"1" => ["name" => "baseball", "price" => 5],
"2" => ["name"=> "bat", "price" => 15],
"3" => ["name" => "glove", "price" => 10]
]
);
collect($items->sortByDesc("price")->values())[1]["name"];
// Result: glove
Similar to morphs answer but not the same. Simply using values() after a sort will not give you the expected results because the indices remain coupled to each item.

I search a lot in stack and google try to find the answer which seems to be easy but I'm still stuck with it
I write a code to encode json with values I wanted from . and I would like to add a key / value to the JSON
the JSON is as following structure
{
- files: [
{
title: "works",
- tracks: [
{
title: "File",
format: "mp3"
}
]
},
-{
title: "season1",
tracks: [
{
title: "Button-1",
format: "wav"
},
-{
title: "Beep-9",
format: "wav"
}
]
}
]
}
I want to add to that a key and its value at the beginning to the json as properties under the title files , I mean that can be read by code as
json[files][new_key]
I tried to set that value like this
$json['new_key'] = "new_value";
but this causes adding numbers to the arrays in json , I don't why they numbered
this numbers affect my reading way of the json as JSONModel in my iOS app
so , I hope you can help me
thanks in advance
Assuming that the new value you want to add varies by file, you would need to loop through $json[files] and insert them per key/value pair.
<?php
for($i=0; $i<count($json); $i++)
$json[files][$i]["new_key"] = "value";
?>
I'm still not sure what you have exactly, but it seems you are trying to manipulate the json string.
If done correctly, that is probably the most efficient solution, but what you could also do is:
use json_decode to generate an array from your json string;
locate the correct section / sub-array where you want to add your data;
use array_unshift to prepend your new key - value pair;
use json_encode to generate a json string from your complete array.
The reason you're getting numbers appearing is because you're adding a key to an array (which functions more or less as a list in JS). So before you basically have the object "files" as a list of objects zero-indexed like any other JS array. When you add the key, JS simply adds your key to the end of your present keys (in your case 0 and 1).
It seems like you have a list of multimedia objects where each has a title and a list of tracks. The most straightforward way to solve your issue would be as follows:
$fileItem['title'] = 'works';
$fileItem['tracks'] = array(
array(
'title' => 'File',
'format' => 'mp3'
)
);
$json['files'][] = $fileItem;
$fileItem['title'] = 'season1';
$fileItem['tracks'] = array(
array(
'title' => 'Button-1',
'format' => 'wav'
),
array(
'title' => 'Beep-9',
'format' => 'wav'
)
);
$json['files'][] = $fileItem;
Then you JSON encode it and return it as you normally would. You can put the above in a loop as well. I lack enough context to recommend exactly how.
