Map to pluck

[olivernybroe]

In many cases when we map we just want a single item from an array. This can also be done with the much simpler syntax pluck.

Before

$data = [
    ['name' => 'Test 1'],
    ['name' => 'Test 2'],
];

collect($data)->map(function($element) {
    return $element['name'];
});

After

$data = [
    ['name' => 'Test 1'],
    ['name' => 'Test 2'],
];

collect($data)->pluck('name');
