Check existing items when listing user data?

Question

Laravel

there is a table of interests

$interests = Interest::where('published','=',1)->get();

and a table of user interests

$userInterests = UserInterest::where('user_id', '=', Auth::user()->id)->get();

how to mark checked those that the user already has when displaying a list of interests?

@forelse($user_interests as $interest)
     <li>
        <div class="checkbox-input">
           <input type="checkbox" id="interest_{{$interest->id}}" name="interests[]" @isset($user_interests){{ in_array( $interest->id, $interests ) ? ' checked' : '' }} @endisset value="{{$interest->id}}">
           <label for="interest_{{$interest->id}}">{{$interest->title}}</label>
      </div>
   </li>
@empty
@endforelse

Answer 1

$userInterests = UserInterest::where('user_id', Auth::id())->pluck('interest_id');

{{ $userInterests->contains($interest->id) ? ' checked' : '' }}
