Retrieve specific data using JSON decode Laravel

I'm new to Laravel. I need to retrieve specific data from the database using the JSON decode. I am currently using $casts to my model to handle the JSON encode and decode.

This is my insert query with json encode:

$request->validate([
        'subject' => 'required|max:255',
        'concern' => 'required'
    ]);

    $issue = new Issue;
    $issue->subject = $request->subject;
    $issue->url = $request->url;
    $issue->details = $request->concern;
    $issue->created_by = $request->userid;
    $issue->user_data = $request->user_data; //field that use json encode
    $issue->status = 2; // 1 means draft
    $issue->email = $request->email;
    $issue->data = '';
    $issue->save();

The user_data contains {"id":37,"first_name":"Brian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Belen","email":"[email protected]","username":"BLB-Student1","avatar":"avatars\/20170623133042-49.png"}

This is my output:

{{$issue->user_data}}

What I need to retrieve is only the first_name, middle_name, and last_name. How am I supposed to achieve that? Thank you in ADVANCE!!!!!

I will recommend using Resources. It really very helpful laravel feature. Check it out. It is a reusable class. You call anywhere and anytime.

php artisan make:resource UserResource

Go to your the newly created class App/Http/Resources/UserResource.php and drfine the column you want to have in your response.

public function toArray($request) {
return [
  "first_name" => $this->first_name,
  "middle_name" => $this->middle_name,
  "last_name" => $this->last_name
 ]
}

Now is your controller you can use the UserResource like folow:

public function index()
{
    return UserResource::collection(User::all());
}

Or after inserting data you can return the newly added data(f_name, l_name...)

   $user = new User;
   $user->first_name= $request->first_name;
   $user->middle_name= $request->middle_name;
   $user->last_name= $request->last_name;
   $user->save();

   $user_data= new UserResource($user);
   return $user_data;

As per the above code shown by you it will only insert data into the database.For retrieving data you can make use of Query Builder as i have written below and also you can check the docs

$users = DB::table('name of table')->select('first_name', 'middle_name', 'last_name')->get();
