Trying to get property of non-object in PHP Laravel Application

I have the following Query that returns an array

    $wines = Wine::all();

    //Remove type_id and producer_id
    foreach ($wines as $wine) {
        $location = $wine->producer->location;
    }

This is what I get if i echo $wine->producer->location;

{"city": "Kavadartsi", "address": "29-ти Ноември, бр. 5, Kavadartsi 1430", "country": "Macedonia"}

So the only property that I need from this is the address which I try to access with

$wine->producer->location->address;

But when I do so I get the following error

Trying to get property 'address' of non-object

If I change the code to

$wine->producer->location['address'];

The error is:

Illegal string offset 'address'

Remove the arrow after location: $wine->producer->location['address'];

If you are getting the same error and if location is in JSON format in your database, json_decode it:

$location = json_decode($wine->producer->location, true);
$address = $location['address'];

First of this is wrong: $wine->producer->location->['address'];, you might want to do this instead $wine->producer->location['address'];.

If that doesn't work, then it would help a lot to see what your producer migration file looks like, but if am to guess it is probably in json like $table->json('location');. If this is the case then you may want to type cast that particular field like this:

<?php

class Location extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'location' => 'array',
    ];
}

After you've done this you can now get your data like this:

$wine->producer->location['address'];
