How to filter duplicate data in laravel?

@haylee.mertz 

There are multiple ways to filter duplicate data in Laravel:

1. Using Eloquent query: You can use the distinct() method provided by Laravel's Eloquent query builder to filter out duplicate data. For example:

1

$uniqueData = YourModel::select('column')->distinct()->get();

1. Using collection methods: If you have already fetched the data using Eloquent and want to filter out duplicates, you can use Laravel's collection methods like unique() or uniqueStrict(). For example:

1
2

$collection = collect($yourData);
$uniqueCollection = $collection->unique('column');

1. Using SQL query: You can also directly write a SQL query to filter out duplicate data. For example:

1

$uniqueData = DB::select('SELECT DISTINCT column FROM your_table');

Choose the method that best suits your scenario and implement the filtering of duplicate data in your Laravel application.
