how to retrieve data from mongo db in lumen

Question

i have a lumen project that is using mongo db now i want to access the data and do some logic on them my object in mongo is like below :

    _id: ObjectId('602cfb30bc865100073f0e56'),
    serviceType: 'normal',
    segment: 'Basic',
    steps: {
        'step1': 1,
        'step2': 2
    }

nnow in my laravel application i do it like below :

      $data = DiscountRule::first();
        dd($data);

and the result is like below :

 App\Models\Rule\DiscountRule {#183
  #collection: "discountRules"
  #connection: "mongodb"
  #dispatchesEvents: array:2 [
    "saved" => "App\Utility\Mongo\Listeners\ModelSaved"
    "deleted" => "App\Utility\Mongo\Listeners\ModelDeleted"
  ]
  -events: []
  #primaryKey: "_id"
  #keyType: "string"
  #parentRelation: null
  #table: "discountRules"
  +incrementing: true
  #with: []
  #withCount: []
  #perPage: 15
  +exists: true
  +wasRecentlyCreated: false
  #attributes: array:4 [
    "_id" => MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId {#150
      +"oid": "602cfb30bc865100073f0e56"
    }
    "serviceType" => "pishropost-regular"
    "segment" => "Basic"
    "steps" => array:2 [
      "itemCount > 0 and itemCount <= 9" => 60000
      "itemCount > 9" => 0
    ]
  ]
  #original: array:4 [
    "_id" => MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId {#150}
    "serviceType" => "pishropost-regular"
    "segment" => "Basic"
    "steps" => array:2 [
      "itemCount > 0 and itemCount <= 9" => 60000
      "itemCount > 9" => 0
    ]
  ]
  #changes: []
  #casts: []
  #dates: []
  #dateFormat: null
  #appends: []
  #observables: []
  #relations: []
  #touches: []
  +timestamps: true
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #fillable: []
  #guarded: array:1 [
    0 => "*"
  ]
}

now it returns the data as array but i want to return as object so that i can for example use $data->segment and get the data in segment . any idea how can i return data from mongo as object ?

Answer 1

As stated in the first line of your dd(). The type of the return is App\Models\Rule\DiscountRule. All the underlying arrays, is how Laravel models works internally with setting attributes.

So you should be able to do.

$rule = DiscountRule::first();
dd($rule->segment);
