I have this piece of code that gets all subcategories for my article and includes them as CSS classes
<article class="{{ strtolower($a->subcategories->pluck('name')->implode(' ')) }} article-item">
Where $a is an Article model.
This works great except in case one of the categories having multiple words (a recent petition by my client).
Example:
Categories: 'home', 'ofice' and 'archive and storage'.
What I get:
<article class="home office archive and storage article-item">
What I want:
<article class="home office archive-and-storage article-item">
I hope with this my request is clear, how do I implode multiple words for each of my categories? I've tried to implode and str_replace() on various parts of the query builder but I can't get it right.
strtolower(implode(" ", str_replace(" ", "-", $a->subcategories->pluck('name')->all())));
This may not look too well, but it should work. At least, it worked for me with array ["a", "b a"] (producing "a b-a" output).
Maybe it can help you?
You need to map category name with spaces to that with dashes. With Laravel collections it's super easy. Just do:
{{ strtolower($a->subcategories->pluck('name')->map(function ($c) { return str_replace(" ", "-", $c); })->implode(' ')) }}
