How to Merge Two Eloquent Collections?

December 15, 2022 by Tarik

The merge method returns the merged collection, it doesn’t mutate the original collection, thus you need to do the following

$original = new Collection(['foo']);

$latest = new Collection(['bar']);

$merged = $original->merge($latest); // Contains foo and bar.

Applying the example to your code

$related = new Collection();

foreach ($question->tags as $tag)
{
    $related = $related->merge($tag->questions);
}
