How can I access nested arrays in laravel

Question

I'm using jquery nested form repeater. When I submit form I get these values.

Illuminate\Http\Request {#51 ▼
  +request: Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ParameterBag {#52 ▼
    #parameters: array:22 [▼
      "_token" => "brgVhd3F1K0wWqxsjDn6Vf9gBdKLX8CO8XbpkBJJ"
      "options" => array:2 [▼
        0 => array:4 [▼
          "name" => "Color"
          "type" => "dropdown"
          "is_required" => array:1 [▶]
          "values" => array:1 [▼
            0 => array:3 [▼
              "label" => "Red"
              "price" => "100"
              "price_type" => "fixed"
            ]
          ]
        ]
        1 => array:3 [▼
          "name" => "Size"
          "type" => "dropdown"
          "values" => array:1 [▼
            0 => array:3 [▼
              "label" => "s"
              "price" => "100"
              "price_type" => "percent"
            ]
          ]
        ]
      ]
    ]
  }
}

I have tried using this. But it's give me Trying to get property 'name' of non-object;

foreach ($request->input('options') as $option) {

    Option::create([

        'name' => $option->name,

        'type' => $option->type,

         'is_required' => (boolean) $option->is_required
    ]);


     $option->values()->createMany($request->input('options.*.values'));

}

How can I access values?

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks.

I am using this $request->input('options.*.values');

The reason you're having this issue is because $request->input() will return an array not objects so for the most part you were just trying to access the property in the wrong way i.e. $options->name should have been $options['name'].

Secondly, $option->values()->createMany($request->input('options.*.values')); wouldn't have worked either as it would have returned a nested array of all the values and not just the ones for that option.

The following should get you what you're after:

foreach ($request->input('options') as $option) {

    $option = Option::create([
        'name'        => $option['name'],
        'type'        => $option['type'],
        'is_required' => (boolean)$option['is_required'],
    ]);

    $option->values()->createMany($option['values']);
}

This is just an FYI.

I would recommend using the $casts property inside your Eloquent model if you're not already:

protected $casts = [
    'is_required' => 'boolean',
];

This way you can tell Eloquent that is_required is meant to be a boolean and you then won't have to cast it yourself so in your foreach loop

'is_required' => (boolean)$option['is_required'],

would just be

'is_required' => $option['is_required'],

Thanks. It's Working. But What if I want to get direct from request without input?

Rwd Over a year ago

@ShahadatHossain I'm not sure what you mean since input is from the request. Please may you explain in more detail.

Shahadat Hossain Over a year ago

I mean there have any other way without this $request->input('options'). Like $request->something

Rwd Over a year ago

@ShahadatHossain You could use $request->options.

Shahadat Hossain Over a year ago

I have another thing to know... without loop through have any other way to insert to my Option model?

You can try the following method

foreach ($request['options'] as $option) {
    Option::create([
        'name' => $option->name,
        'type' => $option->type,
         'is_required' => (boolean) $option->is_required
    ]);
    $option->values()->createMany($request->input('options.*.values'));
}
