If there is a way to check in laravel 7 if given var is collection of (Specific) models?

I tried

gettype($collectionVar)

and it returns ‘object’ string value...

Thanks!

  • Possible values for the returned **gettype()** are: `"boolean"`, `"integer"`, `"double"`, `"float"`, `"string"`, `"array"`, `"object"`, `"resource"`, `"NULL"`, `"unknown type"` . So Model instance and collection both give you gettype() as `"object"` is that case – STA Oct 10 '20 at 11:41

You can take the first Model in the collection and check the instance type

use App\Models\Specific

if ($collection->first() instanceof Specific) {
    // code here
}
