Laravel - Collections - Method First

The first method returns the first element in the collection that passes a given truth test:

    
    collect([1, 2, 3, 4])->first(function ($value, $key) {
        return $value > 2;
    });
    
    // 3
	

You may also call the first method with no arguments to get the first element in the collection. If the collection is empty, null is returned:

    
    collect([1, 2, 3, 4])->first();
    
    // 1
