Break foreach loop

@Snapey it has 20 items, I want to break it after reaching half

@j_watson if its a collection you can use ->limit()

Why not show your code?

@Snapey I want to print half (not 10) of the collection on my laravel blade. I can't use limit because I also need the other half.

@foreach($list as $contestant)

	<p>{{ $contestant->name }}</p>

@endforeach

@j_watson so much easier with code

option 1

@foreach($list->take(10) as $contestant)

	<p>{{ $contestant->name }}</p>

@endforeach

note that this does not affect your $list it will still contain 20 items

option 2

@foreach($list as $contestant)

	@if($loop->index==10) 
    @break
    @endif

	<p>{{ $contestant->name }}</p>

@endforeach

obviously not as pretty and requires testing the counter on each loop

option 3, you are doing this because you want to split 20 into two blocks of 10

@php($groups = $list->split(2))

@foreach($groups[0] as $contestant)
    	<p>{{ $contestant->name }}</p>
@endforeach

@foreach($groups[1] as $contestant)
    	<p>{{ $contestant->name }}</p>
@endforeach

@Snapey I don't know if there's a better way but here's how I solved it. I added a counter in my controller that counts the total query results. Then I divided that result by 2. Then I passed that to my blade as the counter.

        <?php $x = 1;?>

        @foreach($contestant as $name)

              @if($x <= $counter)

                		<?php $x++;?>
               @else
                		@break
              @endif
        
        @endforeach 

@j_watson I gave three options, all of which are better

@Snapey Yeah, split is much better. Thanks a lot mate
