Calling function from model into controller in Laravel

Question

Is it possible to call function from model into the controller in foreach loop?

This is my model

class Order extends Eloquent
{
    public static function getData($data)
    {
        // function code 
    }
}

This is what I'm trying in my controller

$get = Order::all();
foreach ($get->getData($get->details) as $itemId => $details) {
    dd($details);
}

This produce error

Error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::getData()

I've tried exact same code in my blade and there is working without any issue.

So, how I'm suppose to call and use the function in my controller?

The getData() function is declared as static in your class

public static function getData($data)
{
    // function code 
}

So it should be called using class name as Order::getData($get->details)

foreach (Order::getData($get->details) as $itemId => $details) {
    dd($details);
}

It's return ErrorException: Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::$details

check what you are getting in $get variable

I'm getting all data as object(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection)#522 (1) ....

And if is matter details holds data as array?

It turn out that I need to json_decode it first. Thanks for the help
