I am using Laravel 4.2 and i fetch all locations with this code:
$locations = Location::all();
This Locations are displayed in a select box afterwards. How can i add an additional row to the results in order to show an empty first option in the select box.
The options then should be:
choose a location
location 1
location 2
...
I just want to add an additional item to the result in $locations.
Thanks in advance
You can use:
{!! Form::select('location', ['' => 'Select your location'] + $locations, null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
to update the view. In Laravel 5 there are attribute accessors to append an extra field with your eloquent collection.
Few other ways to do this are:
$locations[null] = 'choose a location';
Form::select('location', $locations);
Form::select('location',[null=>'Please Select'] + $locations);
Another way is to loop through the result and update it. Use json_decode() or 'toArray()` to convert your result into array format.
Otherwise you have to store choose a location as the first row value in your locations table(I know that is inappropriate for the requirement).
You should look at the put method for collections:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/collections#method-put
This method is not available in 4.2. You should make a custom Collection class and use it in your model by overwriting the newCollection method. https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#collections
lets say I have 7 columns in table, and I want to select only two of them, something like this
SELECT `name`,`surname` FROM `table` WHERE `id` = '1';
In laravel eloquent model it may looks like this
Table::where('id', 1)->get();
but I guess this expression will select ALL columns where id equals 1, and I want only two columns(name, surname). how to select only two columns?
You can do it like this:
Table::select('name','surname')->where('id', 1)->get();
Table::where('id', 1)->get(['name','surname']);
You can also use find() like this:
ModelName::find($id, ['name', 'surname']);
The $id variable can be an array in case you need to retrieve multiple instances of the model.
By using all() method we can select particular columns from table like as shown below.
ModelName::all('column1', 'column2', 'column3');
Note: Laravel 5.4
You first need to create a Model, that represent that Table and then use the below Eloquent way to fetch the data of only 2 fields.
Model::where('id', 1)
->pluck('name', 'surname')
->all();
Also Model::all(['id'])->toArray() it will only fetch id as array.
Get value of one column:
Table_Name::find($id)->column_name;
you can use this method with where clause:
Table_Name::where('id',$id)->first()->column_name;
or use this method for bypass PhpStorm "Method where not found in App\Models":
Table_Name::query()->where('id','=',$id)->first()->column_name;
in query builder:
DB::table('table_names')->find($id)->column_name;
with where cluase:
DB::table('table_names')->where('id',$id)->first()->column_name;
or
DB::table('table_names')->where('id',$id)->first('column_name');
last method result is array
You can use get() as well as all()
ModelName::where('a', 1)->get(['column1','column2']);
From laravel 5.3 only using get() method you can get specific columns of your table:
YouModelName::get(['id', 'name']);
Or from laravel 5.4 you can also use all() method for getting the fields of your choice:
YourModelName::all('id', 'name');
with both of above method get() or all() you can also use where() but syntax is different for both:
Model::all()
YourModelName::all('id', 'name')->where('id',1);
Model::get()
YourModelName::where('id',1)->get(['id', 'name']);
To get the result of specific column from table,we have to specify the column name.
Use following code : -
$result = DB::Table('table_name')->select('column1','column2')->where('id',1)->get();
for example -
$result = DB::Table('Student')->select('subject','class')->where('id',1)->get();
use App\Table;
// ...
Table::where('id',1)->get('name','surname');
if no where
Table::all('name','surname');
If you want to get a single value from Database
Model::where('id', 1)->value('name');
Also you can use pluck.
Model::where('id',1)->pluck('column1', 'column2');
You can use Table::select ('name', 'surname')->where ('id', 1)->get ().
Keep in mind that when selecting for only certain fields, you will have to make another query if you end up accessing those other fields later in the request (that may be obvious, just wanted to include that caveat). Including the id field is usually a good idea so laravel knows how to write back any updates you do to the model instance.
You can get it like
`PostModel::where('post_status', 'publish')->get(['title', 'content', 'slug', 'image_url']`)

you can also used findOrFail() method here it's good to used
if the exception is not caught, a 404 HTTP response is automatically sent back to the user. It is not necessary to write explicit checks to return 404 responses when using these method not give a 500 error..
ModelName::findOrFail($id, ['firstName', 'lastName']);
While most common approach is to use Model::select,
it can cause rendering out all attributes defined with accessor methods within model classes. So if you define attribute in your model:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
/**
* Get the user's first name.
*
* #param string $value
* #return string
*/
public function getFirstNameAttribute($value)
{
return ucfirst($value);
}
}
And then use:
TableName::select('username')->where('id', 1)->get();
It will output collection with both first_name and username, rather than only username.
Better use pluck(), solo or optionally in combination with select - if you want specific columns.
TableName::select('username')->where('id', 1)->pluck('username');
or
TableName::where('id', 1)->pluck('username'); //that would return collection consisting of only username values
Also, optionally, use ->toArray() to convert collection object into array.
If you want to get single row and from the that row single column, one line code to get the value of the specific column is to use find() method alongside specifying of the column that you want to retrieve it.
Here is sample code:
ModelName::find($id_of_the_record, ['column_name'])->toArray()['column_name'];
If you need to get one column calling pluck directly on a model is the most performant way to retrieve a single column from all models in Laravel.
Calling get or all before pluck will read all models into memory before plucking the value.
Users::pluck('email');
->get() much like ->all() (and ->first() etc..) can take the fields you want to bring back as parameters;
->get/all(['column1','column2'])
Would bring back the collection but only with column1 and column2
You can use the below query:
Table('table')->select('name','surname')->where('id',1)->get();
If you wanted to get the value of a single column like 'name', you could also use the following:
Table::where('id', 1)->first(['name'])->name;
For getting multiple columns (returns collection) :
Model::select('name','surname')->where('id', 1)->get();
If you want to get columns as array use the below code:
Model::select('name','surname')->where('id', 1)->get()->toArray();
If you want to get a single column try this:
Model::where('id', 1)->first(['column_name'])->column_name;
This is my syntax in blade file :
{{ $product->filters->where("filter_id","10") }}
And my output for this looks like :
{"3":{"id":7153,"product_id":"1","filter_id":"10","data":"Kajaria","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}}
And I want to extract only a particular data i.e. Kajaria.
I'm getting confused in writing syntax.
I had already tried these syntaxes :
{{ $product->filters->where("filter_id","10")->data }}
{{ $product->filters->where("filter_id","10")['data'] }}
Try something like this:
{{ $product->filters->where("filter_id","10")->first()->data }}
The thing is $product is a collection and you need to get property of just one object, so first() method returns first object from a collection which you can use.
What I understand is that you want to get a filter for a product. So, try this.
Product::with('filters')->where('filter_id', 10)->first()->data;
Controller
$new_products = Product::with('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
return view('site/home', compact('new_products'));
View
{{ $new_product->images[0]->image_name }}
This gives me error undefined offset 0. How do i print the values of images?
values returned on dd($new_products)
If you want to get the first item, you can use the first method.
{{ $new_product->images->first()->image_name }}
You also have the offsetGet method to get an item at a given offset.
{{ $new_product->images->offsetGet(0)->image_name }}
You can also loop through the collection though and do this:
#foreach ($new_product->images as $image)
{{ $image->image_name }}
#endforeach
Note: The first two method will only work if your products have images. If they don't, then Laravel will return an empty collection. The third method of looping through the collection will work in all cases.
If you want to make sure that products have images, you can use the has method.
$new_products = Product::with('images')->has('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
This will only return products that have at least one image.
Docs on collection methods: http://laravel.com/docs/master/collections#method-first
Docs on relationships: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent-relationships
From the out it appears that $new_product is also an array of two items,
{{ $new_product[0]->images[0]->image_name }}
Edit: Thomas Kim has a better answer
Your relation (images) is a collection object, if you all() method on that then you'll get the underlying array so then you can access any item from array using the index:
{{ $new_product->images->all()[0]->image_name }}
Also toArray() method will work:
{{ $new_product->images->toArray()[0]['image_name'] }}
So, either pass the array to your view like $new_product->all() or loop it. You may check the documentation here for more information about Collection object in Laravel.
