Laravel 5 Collections: Checking If a Collection Contains Items With isEmpty

April 22, 2018 —John Koster

The isEmpty can be used to determine if the collection has items or not. If the collection has no items, true will be returned, otherwise false will be returned.

#Signature

1public function isEmpty();

#Example Use

The following example demonstrates the basic usage of the isEmpty method:

1use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
2 
3// Create a new collection instance.
4$collection = new Collection;
5 
6// true
7$empty = $collection->isEmpty();
8 
9// Add an item to the collection.
10$collection[] = 'First item';
11 
12// false
13$empty = $collection->isEmpty();
