I tried doing this
// if there are no `available` keys found in `cars` request, set the first item to true
if(!collect($request->input('cars'))->contains('available', true)) {
$request['cars'][0] = ['available'=>true];
}
But I'm getting Indirect modification of overloaded element.... I can use collect(...)->transform(...) but is there a shorter and faster way of doing it.
doesntContain():if (!collect()->contains(...)) // so-so
if (collect()->doesntContain(...)) // a little more beautiful
can you show full request example?
is it what you asked? https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/requests#merging-additional-input
if ( $request->collect('cars')->doesntContain('available', true) ) {
$request->merge([
'cars' => [
0 => [ 'available' => true ]
]
]);
}
Here's the structure
"cars" => array:2 [
[
"name" => "A3",
"brand" => "Audi",
"available" => true
],
[
"name" => "C40",
"brand" => "Volvo",
],
]
Now, if the available does not exists, I want to add it to the first item of the cars array
Check code I provided earlier, I think it is what you need.
