How to access nested array values

Question

I have the following array that I need to use in a laravel email view template

$inputs[\'test\']

Which looks like this when I dd($inputs[

Answer 1

Simply use the helper method for Arr facade and avoid all these complications.

For instance, if you've something like

$array = ['products' => ['desk' => ['price' => 100]]];

You can do this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price');

and it will return 100. The best part is if the key price doesn't exist, it doesn't throw and error.

So, if the array had to be like this

$array = ['products' => ['desk' => []];

and you did this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price');

It would return null and not any error even though the item doesn't exist. You can also set a default value if you want like this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price', 2);

This would return 2 if the price doesn't exist. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpers#method-array-get
