Laravel: Get Object From Collection By Attribute

Question

In Laravel, if I perform a query:

$foods = Food::where(...)->get();

...then $foods is an Illuminate Collection of Foo

Answer 1

I have to point out that there is a small but absolutely CRITICAL error in kalley's answer. I struggled with this for several hours before realizing:

Inside the function, what you are returning is a comparison, and thus something like this would be more correct:

$desired_object = $food->filter(function($item) {
    return ($item->id **==** 24);
})->first();
