How to Split a Laravel Collection into a Multi-Dimensional Array

When working with Laravel, you might encounter situations where you need to transform a Collection into a multi-dimensional array. This is particularly useful for organizing permissions or hierarchical data. If you've ever faced a challenge like this, you're in the right place! In this post, we'll explore a straightforward solution to convert a Laravel Collection into a nested array based on dot notation.

The Problem

Let's illustrate this with an example. Imagine you have a Laravel Collection that consists of permissions represented as strings. Here's how that Collection might look:

From this Collection, the goal is to split the permissions into a nested array structure. We want it to look like this:

The Solution

To achieve this, you can utilize a simple PHP function that loops through the string representations of permissions. Here’s how it works:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Define the result array: This will hold our final nested array.

Loop through each string: For every permission string in the collection, we'll break it down piece by piece.

Explode the string: Use the explode() function to split the string by dots.

Build the nested array: Using a loop, navigate through the nested structure. If a key doesn't exist, create it and continue until you reach the last piece of the array.

Sample Code

Here’s a snippet to help you get started:

Conclusion

Transforming a Laravel Collection into a multi-dimensional array can be accomplished with a clear and concise approach. With just a few lines of PHP, you can convert your permissions into a structured format that's easier to manage and understand. This method not only streamlines your code but also enhances readability, making your application even more efficient.
