how to make an eloquent result into an array Laravel

Question

I want to combine two data search results into one array, I use array_merge but there is an array_merge() error:

Argument # 1 is not an array

How to turn $vendor 's eloquent results into an array and combine it with $plucked ?

$vendor = Vendor::find($id);
$vendor_detail = VendorDetail::where('vendor_id',$id)->get();
$plucked = $vendor_detail->pluck('vendor_profile_value','vendor_profile_name');

$coba = array_merge($vendor,$plucked);

$plucked already an array I think the problem here is that $vendor is not yet an array

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

$vendor = Vendor::find($id);
$vendor_details = VendorDetail
             ::select('vendor_profile_value', 'vendor_profile_name')
             ->where('vendor_id', $id)
             ->get()
             ->toArray();

$coba = array_merge($vendor,$vendor_details);

The get() method execute the query returning a Collection instance, in which you can call the toArray() method.

Side note

As far as I can see, you could make use ofrelationships and eager loading .

If you have aone-to-many relationship defined like this in your Vendor model:

public function details()
{
    return $this->hasMany(VendorDetails::class);
}

Then, you could eager load the relationship like this:

$vendor = Vendor::with('details')->find($id);
//                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You could even just load the wanted fields:

$vendor = Vendor::with('details:vendor_profile_value,vendor_profile_name')
                ->find($id);

Then, your object will have a new attribute called "details" containing the related objects (or a collection of the limited selected fields).

Answer 2

您可以将 $vendor 转换为如下所示的数组。

$vendor = Vendor::find($id)->toArray();
