Hello Artisans, today we'll discuss how to we can get the duplicates values from the collection. The Illuminate\Support\Collection class provides a fluent, convenient wrapper for working with arrays of data. For example, check out the following code. We'll use the collect helper to create a new collection instance from the array. So, no more talk, let's see how we can achieve our goal in our Laravel Application.

Syntax

The syntax of using a collection method is the collection itself followed by the method. The syntax is:

// passing a collection instance followed by the method itself

$collection->duplicates();

Laravel Collection duplicates() Example

The duplicates method retrieves and returns duplicate values from the collection:

$collection = collect(['a', 'b', 'a', 'c', 'b']);
 
$collection->duplicates();
 
// [2 => 'a', 4 => 'b']

If the collection contains arrays or objects, you can pass the key of the attributes that you wish to check for duplicate values:

$employees = collect([
    ['email' => '[email protected]', 'position' => 'Developer'],
    ['email' => '[email protected]', 'position' => 'Designer'],
    ['email' => '[email protected]', 'position' => 'Developer'],
]);
 
$employees->duplicates('position');
 
// [2 => 'Developer']

That's all for today. Hope you've enjoyed this tutorial. Thanks for reading.🙂
