How to get only a single row in laravel?

I want a single row of player through his playerNo field which is later added and updated.

I am doing this.

$player = Account::where('playerNo', 99)->get();

Result is many objects of players that only has player object with playerNo, which I do not want because for that I have to use iteration.

foreach($players as $player)
   $player->name = "Samar"
Solution

  • Another option is to use firstWhere

    $player = Account::where('playerNo', 99)->first();

    is the same as

    $player = Account::firstWhere('playerNo', 99);
