Laravel - Collections - Method Maptogroups
The mapToGroups
method groups the collection's items by the given closure. The closure should return an associative array containing a single key / value pair, thus forming a new collection of grouped values:
$collection = collect([
[
'name' => 'John Doe',
'department' => 'Sales',
],
[
'name' => 'Jane Doe',
'department' => 'Sales',
],
[
'name' => 'Johnny Doe',
'department' => 'Marketing',
]
]);
$grouped = $collection->mapToGroups(function ($item, $key) {
return [$item['department'] => $item['name']];
});
$grouped->all();
/*
[
'Sales' => ['John Doe', 'Jane Doe'],
'Marketing' => ['Johnny Doe'],
]
*/
$grouped->get('Sales')->all();
// ['John Doe', 'Jane Doe']
