Hello Friends,

I will explain step-by-step tutorial Laravel Collection Find an Item by Value. This tutorial will give you a simple example of how to find value in an element from a collection in laravel. I want to show you the laravel find by the value of the item from the collection. I explained simply about laravel collection find by value item Code Example.

You can use this example with the versions of laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, and laravel 9.

You have just to follow the below step and you will get the layout as below:

This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\FindByValueController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/index',[FindByValueController::class, 'index']);

we will create FindByValueController. so you can see the below code with output:

php artisan make:controller FindByValueController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class FindByValueController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
    */
    public function index()
    {
        $collection = collect(['Doe',"John" ,"Gadas" ,"Maxy"]);
            
        dd($collection->search(function($item, $key) {
            
            $value = "John";

            return $item == $value;
        
        }));

    }
}

Start the development server. Use the PHP artisan serve command and start your server:

php artisan serve

Now you are ready to run our example so run the below command to quick run.

http://localhost:8000/index

1 // app/Http/Controllers/FindByValueController.php:24

I hope it can help you...
