Symfony - how to read yaml File and get certain data?

Question

symfony

Hello everyone, how can I read data from a yaml file?

according to the documentation, it works like this:

https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/yaml.html#reading-yaml-files

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;

$value = Yaml::parseFile('/path/to/file.yaml');

but how can you get only certain data? is it really necessary to run through the array and collect them manually?

profileData:
   Fields:
      - { property: 'name', label: 'name', type: 'string' }
      - { property: 'firstname', label: 'firstname', type: 'string' }
      - { property: 'street', label: 'street' }

I need to get only label and type, while type is not found everywhere.
is there any way to get this data out of yaml?

$yaml = Yaml::parse('/path/to/file.yaml');    

$data = array_map(function ($field) {
  $item = [];
  if (isset($field['label'])) {
    $item['label'] = $field['label'];
  }
  if (isset($field['type'])) {
     $item['type'] = $field['type'];
  }
  return $item;
}, $yaml['profileData']['Fields']);
