You are reading the docs for an old version of Statamic. Consider upgrading to Statamic 6.

Merge Modifier

Merge an array variable with another array variable.

good_ideas:
- Exercise regularly
- Brush your teeth
- Use Oxford Commas
bad_ideas:
- Bath in beans
- Wear sandpaper underwear
- Eat turtle shells

In this template example we'll merge the two arrays and then pull out a single random item from the combined list. For fun!

<h2>Picking a random idea!</h2>
{{ good_ideas | merge($bad_ideas) | sort("random") | limit(1) }}
<p>{{ value }}</p>
{{ /good_ideas }}
<?php
$merged = Statamic::modify($good_ideas)
->merge($bad_ideas)
->sort('random')
->limit(1)
->fetch();
?>
<h2>Picking a random idea!</h2>
@foreach ($merged as $item)
<p>{{ $item }}</p>
@endforeach
<p>Use Oxford Commas</p>
