Laravel Eloquent - Get one Row

Question

This might be a simple question, but I cannot figure this out. I am trying to get a user by email using: ``` $user = User::whereEmail($email)->get(); ``` But this is returning an array (of dimension 1) of $users. So If I want to get the name, I have to do `$user[0]['first_name']`. I tried using `limit(1)` or `take(1)`, or even using `->toArray()` but there was no difference. What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Simply use this:

```
$user = User::whereEmail($email)->first();
```
