Laravel remove index element from get collection - laravel

Question

I pull in data from the database via ->get(); and want to remove a certain element based on a condition in a foreach loop so i would need something like
foreach($datas as $data) {
$data->forget(this);
}
or i count the index or whatever, but I need to find a way to remove it because the ->forget() does only work on collection instances (not on eloquent collections as it seems) , any idea?
here is the format of my log:
[{"id":14,...},{"id":15,...}...]
so i get objects in an array.
and here is the dd();
Collection {#274 ▼
#items: array:4 [▼
0 => Data {#275 ▶}
1 => Data {#276 ▶}
2 => Data {#277 ▶}
3 => Data {#278 ▶}
]
}
edit: i know its better to select only needed elements in the first place but thats not possible or rather not wished for because I am putting the results through a long carbon related check and wish to do something depending on different scenarios.
edit 2:
I can remove with forget(1..2 and 3) but not with 0, it tells me undefined offset?

Answer 1

Maybe map is what your are looking for if you want to remove a specific property in the item:
$datas = $datas->map(function ($data) {
// modify $data here, unset unset($data->property);
return $data;
});
See documentation here
Or filter to remove the whole item:
$datas = $datas->filter(function ($data) {
return ($data->property == 'bar') ? true : false;
});
See documentation here
