Arr::arrayToObject in Laravel 12

Question

In laravel 9.0 this code worked well and then I could use $result->property syntax in my blade view instead of array syntax $result['property']

    public function getAllWithPaginator($perPage = null)
    {
        $columns = ['title','slug','category_id', 'image', 'fulltext', 'created_at'];
        $categoryColumns = 'category:id,title,slug,image';

        $result = $this
            ->startConditions()
            ->wherePublished(true)
            ->select($columns)
            ->with($categoryColumns)
            ->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
            ->get()
            ->toArray();

        $result = Arr::arrayToObject($result); 
        $result = collect($result)->mypaginate($perPage);

        return $result;

    }

Now in Laravel 12 this gives error Method Illuminate\Support\Arr::arrayToObject does not exist. How I can do it now? Maybe Arr::arrayToObject was removed from framework to external package or there is another way to do it?

Are you sure arrayToObject function exists in laravel? Maybe you've modified the vendor file to add the function? I've checked the laravel/framework repository and found no such method on v9's release. — Tatachiblob

1st think is ->get() do give you the object(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection), no need for ->toArray(). 2nd try to use inbuilt pagination of laravel. You are getting all rows from database then doing the pagination, that will affect the performance. — parth

->get() outputs "heavy" object, whereas ->toArray() contains only pure data. — schel4ok

then why use Eloquent query in 1st place? its much slower than raw query Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB — parth

Arr::arrayToObject() isn’t a Laravel method (and wasn't in Laravel 9 either). You likely had a custom helper or a package that added it. In any case, you don’t need it here, just stop converting your models to arrays.

The reason $result->property worked is because Eloquent models are objects. When you call ->toArray() you throw that away. In Laravel 12 just keep the query returning models and use the built-in paginator.

return $this->startConditions()
    ->wherePublished(true)
    ->select($columns)
    ->with(['category:id,title,slug,image'])
    ->latest('created_at')
    ->paginate($perPage);

Then in your blade you can loop into it :

@foreach ($result as $item)
  {{ $item->title }}
  {{ $item->category?->title }}
@endforeach

{{ $result->links() }}
