Remove JSON object value Laravel from MySql database - laravel

Question

I want to remove JSON object value from mysql database via eloquent. I have tried with this code it works but I have to pass array key "$.language[1]".
Here is JSON object {"name":"The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring","language":["Hindi","English","Spanish"]} stored in database.
Here I want to remove English language from all the records.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Book;
use DB;
class BookController extends Controller
{
public function store(){
$book = new Book;
$book->attributes = $jsonAttr;
$book->save();
echo "Book saved";
die;
}
public function updateLanguage()
{
$result = Book::where('attributes->language','LIKE','%English%')->update(['attributes' => DB::raw('JSON_REMOVE(attributes, "$.language[1]")')]);
//$result = Book::where('attributes->language','LIKE','%H%')->get();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($result);
die;
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Where condition fetch all the match record from Database. You need to loop this query to remove particular book language. Try this code...
public function updateLanguage()
{
//Get all matched records from database
$result = Book::where('attributes->language','LIKE','%')->get();
//Loop items to get unique id
foreach($result as $key => $val){
$id = $val['id'];
$attr = json_decode($val->attributes, true);
$data = $attr['language'];
foreach($data as $itemkey => $lang){
if($lang == "English"){
//Pass unique id to remove language from book record
$result = Book::where('id',$id)->update(['attributes' => DB::raw('JSON_REMOVE(attributes, "$.language['.$itemkey.']")')]);
}
}
}
$result = Book::where('attributes->language','LIKE','%')->get();
foreach ($result as $key => $value) {
print_r($value['attributes']);
echo "<br>";
}
die;
}

You need json_decode for transform json to array : link
You remove "English" in array with unset : link
After that you can json_encode for transform array to json.
