Which Collection method can be used for this array?

I have a method like this

foreach ($data as $datum) {
            $detail = [
                'product_id' => $datum->product_id,
                'total' => $datum->total,
                'date' => $datum->date,
                'total_surface' => $datum->total_surface,
                'batch' => $datum->batch,
            ];
            $result[] = $detail;
}

 return $result;

What are the Collection method that can be used to transform array of data like example above? I've searched from the documentation for map, mapToGroups, mapWithKeys, but the example isn't like what I need. Or I looking at the wrong method (map)?

Thanks before.

Since you are just looping over it, then you should use map, but there is nothing really wrong with a classic foreach.

It does look just like you are converting an eloquent collection to an array.

If so just use the toArray method.

return $data->toArray();

If that is not the case you could make it a little cleaner.

function whatever($data)
{
  $result = [];
  foreach ($data as $datum) {
    $result[] = [
     'product_id' => $datum->product_id,
     'total' => $datum->total,
     'date' => $datum->date,
     'total_surface' => $datum->total_surface,
     'batch' => $datum->batch,
    ];
  }
  return $result;
}
