Remove an item from an array in Laravel’s Session

Question

I have an array in a Session and I need to remove only one item. Put

session()->forget('cart') 

it removes all items. What is the correct way to remove only one?

Controller

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Product;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

class ProductsController extends Controller
{

public function index()
{
    return view('product.index');
}

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $product = $request->all();
    session()->push('cart', $product);
    return redirect()->back();
}

}

View:

<div class="container">
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        <div class="panel panel-default">
            <div class="panel-heading">Produtos</div>
            <div class="panel-body">
                <table class="table m-0" id="products-table">

Answer 1

First recover the Cart, exclude the array by the key and then destroy and build again the Cart.

Method:

public function exclusao($chave)
{
    $carts = session()->get('cart');
    unset($carts[$chave]);
    session()->forget('cart');
    session()->put('cart', $carts);
    return redirect()->back();
}

Route:

Route::get('product/exclusao/{chave}', 'ProductController@exclusao');

Html

<td>
    <a href="/product/exclusao/{{ $key }}">Excluir</a>
</td>

Answer 2

unset(session()->get('cart')['INDICE_A_SER_REMOVIDO'])

As you are making a loop in each iteration then in foreach:

foreach(session()->get('cart') as $key => $product)

... href="{{ unset(session()->get('cart')[$key]) }}">Excluir<...
