Loop through JSON Array and display results in table - Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

This question probably has been asked many times, but i cant get a solution.
I'm calling to a API like this:
public function getLeaderBoardArray($leaderBoardStats) {
$array = [];
$ex = $leaderBoardStats;
dd($ex);
return $array;
}
This is the result I get when I (DD) (Die-Dump it):
{#201 ▼
+"Start": 0
+"Count": 100
+"ResultCount": 100
+"Results": array:100 [▼
0 => {#199 ▼
+"Player": {#186 ▼
+"Gamertag": "Ferro2Clutch"
+"Xuid": null
}
+"Rank": 1
+"Score": {#195 ▶}
}
1 => {#188 ▶}
2 => {#200 ▶}
3 => {#203 ▶}
4 => {#206 ▶}
5 => {#209 ▶}
6 => {#212 ▶}
....... and so on till 100
How can a loop through this array and display Players Gamertag.
This i what I'm doing right now:
public function getLeaderBoardArray($leaderBoardStats) {
$array = [];
$array['Gamertag_1'] = $leaderBoardStats->Results[0]->Player->Gamertag;
$array['Csr_1'] = $leaderBoardStats->Results[0]->Score->Csr;
$array['Gamertag_2'] = $leaderBoardStats->Results[1]->Player->Gamertag;
$array['Csr_2'] = $leaderBoardStats->Results[1]->Score->Csr;
// and so on til 10....
return $array;
}
As you can see, this would be a pain to do till 100 for each leader-board.
Is there an easier method like somehow doing a for each loop?

You asked a very similar question yesterday and I'm going to give you a very similar answer today.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/collections
Use the map() Collection functionality to convert each item to a more digestable array.
$results = collect($leaderBoardStats->Results);
$gamers = $results->map(function($item, $key)
{
return [
'gamertag' => $item->Player->Gamertag,
'csr' => $item->Score->Csr,
]
});
This will give you an array that looks like ...
[
['gamertag' => "name", 'csr' => 11111],
['gamertag' => "name", 'csr' => 11111],
['gamertag' => "name", 'csr' => 11111],
['gamertag' => "name", 'csr' => 11111],
];
Then, in your view, you can do this to build a table.
#foreach ($gamers->all() as $gamer)
<tr>
<td>{{ $gamer['gamertag'] }}</td>
<td>{{ $gamer['csr'] }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
All it takes. Laravel Collections are probably one of the strongest aspects of the entire framework and are incredibly robust and well built. If you have an array-related question, chances are that documentation has a collection-related answer.

Answer 2

you can write a simple loop to iterate through your results. for example, I like using a foreach loop
$array = [];
foreach ($leaderBoardStats->Results as $stat) {
array[] = [
'gamer_tag' => $stat->Player->Gamertag,
'csr' => $stat->Score->Csr
];
}
return $array;
A better more advanced approach would be to map this so you don't have to create any extra arrays.
return array_map(function ($stat) {
return [
'gamer_tag' => $stat->Player->Gamertag,
'csr' => $stat->Score->Csr
];
}, $leaderBoardStats->Results);
