laravel collection to array

Question

I have two models, Post and Comment; many comments belong to a single post. I\'m trying to access all comments associated with a post as an array.<

Answer 1

you can do something like this

$collection = collect(['name' => 'Desk', 'price' => 200]);
$collection->toArray();

Reference is https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/collections#method-toarray
