I see usecase for that. When you use the same data two times on the same view. In one place you use all of them, but somewhere else in the same view, you need just 3. Then it's good :)

@bgallagh3r yes in an ideal situation you would just have the number you need. But some times you have special circumstances. :)

This particular use case was building a theme for an app and the $posts returned to the view was more than I needed. But other themes needed the additional. If that makes sense.

Even easier...

@foreach ($posts->slice(0, 5) as $post)

  <h1>{{ $post['title'] }}</h1>

@endforeach

@briankiewel - where is that doc'd? Like to read more on it

@jrmadsen67 Unfortunately not documented on laravel.com, but you can look at the code here. It's basically just a helper for what @ericbarnes is doing, but without having to run ->toArray()

Can you do this for an array that gets loaded from the translation files?

For example:

@foreach(trans('pages/team.team') as $teamMember)
   // Do something
@endforeach

But what if I need just the first 4 or 5?

->take(20)->get();

Just needed this for a dashboard view where we need the same data in different places, just modified a bit by limiting what is shown. Thanks for the solution, worked perfectly!

@Kras4ooo

@foreach ($posts->slice(0, 5) as $post)
  <h1>{{ $post->title }}</h1>
@endforeach

It works perfect for me.

@ron4stoppable
Copy link

 @foreach ($posts->take(5) as $post)
    <h1>{{ $post->title }}</h1>
 @endforeach

is much cleaner, and works great
