Laravel: blade foreach looping bootstrap columns - php

Question

I have a foreach loop and inside that contains html with bootstrap columns.
#foreach($address as $add)
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
#endforeach
However, bootstrap requires the row div before creating columns, placing that straight in to the foreach loop would create a row div for each col-md-6. I want to know how I can throw in the row div, skip the next loop throwing in only the closing div tag. And then repeat that process.
Example output where the loops 4 times:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

As an alternative to Alexey Mezenin's answer you could use array_chunk instead. http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-chunk.php
#foreach(array_chunk($address, 2) as $chunk)
<div class="row">
#foreach($chunk as $add)
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
#endforeach
</div>
#endforeach
I personally find the the above a little more readable.
Alternatively, if $address is a collection you could do $address->chunk(2) instead of array_chunk($address, 2).
If you want to change the amount of columns you have you would simply need to change the 2 to be however many columns you want.

You can use Laravel chunk in the blade template.
#foreach($products->chunk(3) as $items)
<div class="row">
#foreach($items as $item)
<div class="col-md-4 portfolio-item">
<a href="#">
<img class="img-responsive" src="{{ 'uploads/'.$item->product_image_url }}" alt="">
</a>
<h3>
{{ $item->product_name }}
</h3>
<p>{{ str_limit($item->product_description, 121) }}</p>
</div>
#endforeach
</div>
#endforeach

Use the $loop variable:
<div class="row">
#foreach($address as $add)
<div class="col-md-6">
Some data
</div>
#if ($loop->iteration % 2 == 0)
</div>
<div class="row">
#endif
#endforeach
</div>
