Laravel 4 - Get Array of Attributes from Collection

Question

I have a collection of objects. Let\'s say the objects are tags:

$tags = Tag::all();

I want to retrieve a certain attribute for each tag, say i

Answer 1

You could use array_column for this (it's a PHP 5.5 function but Laravel has a helper function that replicates the behavior, for the most part).

Something like this should suffice.

$tag_names = array_column($tags->toArray(), 'name');
