Is there any function to add an item before/after a specific item in a collection

[mdariftiens]

I need to add an item after an item in a collection. Now I'm doing like below. is there any function to do this? Or can I make a PR for this functionality?

$collection = collect(['first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth']);

$position = $collection->search('second');

$collection->splice($position + 1, 0, [$newItem]);

I have a similar problem right now, and while looking for a solution came across search and splice, but: search returns a key, and splice expects an index. This leads to unexpected results:

$c = collect([1=>1, 3 =>3]);
$key = c->search(fn($i) $i > 1); // returns 3
$c->splice($key, 0, [4=>4, 5=>5]);
dump($c->all()); // prints [1, 3, 4, 5]

You can use splice() with the position returned by search().

For example:

$position = $collection->search('second');

$collection->splice($position + 1, 0, [$newItem]);

I don't think you should manually verify the Passport access token using hash_hmac().

Laravel Passport already handles access-token validation through its authentication guard. You can protect your API route with Passport:

Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
})->middleware('auth:api');

Then send the token as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Passport will handle the token parsing and signature/expiration/revocation checks for you.

If you really need to inspect or verify the JWT manually, you should use a JWT library and verify it using Passport's configured public key and the algorithm specified by the token, rather than recreating the signature with hash_hmac('SHA256', ...).

So the main issue with the current implementation is that it is trying to reproduce Passport's token verification logic manually.
