laravel : return json data from an array

Question

I have foreach I need return each object in this array in JSON

Let me present my controller first

$childCategory = ChildCategory::whereProductCategoryId( $catId )->get();
                $data          = array();
                foreach ( $childCategory as $childCat ) {
                    $checkChildes = ChildCategoryTwo::whereChildCategoryId( $childCat->id )->count();
                    $hasChildes   = $checkChildes > 0 ? "Yes" : "No";

                    $data[] = $childCat->id;
                    $data[] = $childCat->image;
                    $data[] = $childCat->bg_color;
                    $data[] = $childCat->product_category_id;
                    $data[] = $childCat->translations[0]->name;
                    $data[] = $childCat->translations[1]->name;
                    $data[] = $hasChildes;
                }

                return response()->json( [$data] );

the output of data comes like this

    [
        1,
        "1561015312.png",
        "#a9dabf",
        1,
        "Drinks",
        "No",
        2,
        "1562500737.jpg",
        null,
        1,
        "Drinks",
        "Yes"
    ]

the output is right but the format is wrong, I need it to output something like this

[
      {
            id : 1,
            image : "1561015312.png",
            color : "#a9dabf",
            parent_cat : 1,
            name : "Drinks",
            has_child : "No",
      },
      {
            id : 2,
            image : "1562500737.jpg",
            color : null,
            parent_cat : 1,
            name : "Soda Drinks",
            has_child : "Yes"
      }
]

Have you tried grouping your data in the application properly, before encoding it to JSON? If you just concatenate value after value, there is no way to keep track of identifiers — Nico Haase

@mare96 it gives something like this { "id": 1 }, { "image": "1561015312.png" }, { "bg_color": "#a9dabf" }, witch is not what I want. — Yousef Altaf

Try with this

$childCategory = ChildCategory::whereProductCategoryId( $catId )->get();
$data = array();

foreach ( $childCategory as $childCat ) {
    $checkChildes = ChildCategoryTwo::whereChildCategoryId( $childCat->id )->count();
    $hasChildes   = $checkChildes > 0 ? "Yes" : "No";

    $data[] = [
        'id' => $childCat->id,
        'image' => $childCat->image,
        'color' => $childCat->bg_color,
        'parent_cat' => $childCat->product_category_id,
        'name' => $childCat->translations[0]->name,
        'has_child' => $hasChildes
    ];
}

return response()->json( $data );

Thanks this worked fine with me, and in this case I don't need the empty data array $data = array();
