How to display the value of a collection?
Please help me with a stupid question I am getting data like this:
$features = $products->pluck('features')
->unique()
->filter(function($value, $key) {
return $value != '[]';
});
Using foreach I iterate over the results:
@foreach($features as $feature)
{{dd($feature)}}
@endforeach
Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {#1784 ▼
#items: array:1 [▼
0 => App\Models\Feature {#1823 ▼
#fillable: array:9 [▶]
-//-
#attributes: array:12 [▼
"id" => 5
"title" => "buttons"
"created_at" => "2023-05-27 18:04:36"
"updated_at" => "2023-05-28 08:15:50"
"deleted_at" => null
]
-//-
So far everything is great. But until I display the title
@foreach($features as $feature)
{{dd($feature->title)}}
@endforeach
I am getting this kind of error. What am I doing wrong?
Exception Property [title] does not exist on this collection instance.

@rediska Pluck returns an array.

Why are you trying to use dd() in blade ?
@foreach($features as $feature)
{{ $feature->title }}
@endforeach
What is strange is the error message : that's as if you were trying to get the title property on the collection instead of on the model.

@vincent15000 Well I'm testing this.

$feature is an array so {{dd($feature[0]->title)}} would return your title

@deansatch It seems to work out like this. But I don't understand why it's an array? Even at the top it says that this is a collection.

@Rediska the result is a collection. Read further and you'll se the items in it are of type array.

@Rediska sorry, it is a collection but your array is in that collection. So you are looping through the one item in the collection, then trying to call the property on that single collection, whereas you need to get the first() from your collection then loop through the items instead

@deansatch Well done ;) ... I didn't even noticed that.

This would probably work better for you
@foreach($features->first() as $feature)
{{ dd($feature->title) }}
@endforeach

@deansatch No. This displays only the first and only entry.

@Rediska yes because you are using dd() in your loop so it dies at the first result. I assumed you knew that and were just using dd() for debugging. Change it to echo $feature->title and you will see them all

@deansatch =)))))))))) Naturally, I removed dd))) I'm not that stupid) But it still only returns 1 result

@Rediska in that case maybe you have multiple items in the collection and only 1 array item in each?
try
@foreach($features as $feature)
@foreach($feature as $item)
{{ dump($item->title) }}
@endforeach
@endforeach
Not pretty but might shed some light

@deansatch And you're right)) It really works. But I have a question. If we nevertheless decided that this is not a collection, but an array in the collection, then why do we refer to these elements as a collection through -> ?))) I can’t understand)

@Rediska collections ARE arrays, arrays that can contain objects
Or I should say its an object that stores all the data as an array.

@deansatch I want to ask another question from the same series. I use ->unique to get unique values but it doesn't work. Since it is applied to the first collection. And I need to sort the unique ones in the nested one. How to do it?
$features = $products->pluck('features')
->unique()
->filter(function($value, $key) {
return $value != '[]';
});
