I want to know how can I have linked result for imploded data?

Code

this code return my product category nested (I use this as breadcrumbs)

$category = $product->category;
if(!empty($category->category_id))

 if(!empty($category->parent->category_id))
 $category = implode(" > ", [$category->parent->parent->title,$category->parent->title,$category->title]);
 else
 $category = implode(" > ", [$category->parent->title,$category->title]);
 

else
 $category = $product->category->title;

result of code above is like:

Notebook > HP > HP Pavilion > [I place product name here]

All I want is to add slugs in those category names Notebook, Hp, Hp Pavilion.

How can I do that?

Update

product model

public function category()
 return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);


//just added
public function getBreadCrumb() 
 // assuming that each product must be in some category,if not, add an empty check before adding into this array 
 $crumbs = array(
 $this->category->getBreadCrumb(), // function in your `Category` model
 '<a href="' . $this->slug . '">' . $this->title . '</a>'
 );
 return implode(">", $crumbs);
 

category model

public function categories()
 
 return $this->hasMany(Category::class);
 

 public function childs() 
 return $this->hasMany(Category::class,'category_id','id') ;
 

 public function parent()
 
 return $this->belongsTo(Category::class,'category_id');
 

 public function isParent()
 
 return !$this->category_id ? true : false; // if category_id is null => is a Parent Category
 
public function products()
 return $this->hasMany(Product::class);
 


//just added
public function getBreadCrumb()
 $crumbs = array();

 // handle parent
 if(!empty($this->parent))
 $crumbs = $this->parent->getBreadCrumb(); 
 

 $crumbs = '<a href="' . $this->slug . '">' . $this->title . '</a>';
 return implode(">", $crumbs);

One way to do this can be ...

Product Model

Create a simple function

 public function getBreadCrumb() 
 // assuming that each product must be in some category,if not, add an empty check before adding into this array 
 $crumbs = array(
 $this->category->getBreadCrumb(), // function in your `Category` model
 '<a href="' . $this->product_url . '">' . $this->product_title . '</a>'
 );
 return implode(">", $crumbs);
 

Category Model

 public function getBreadCrumb()
 $crumbs = array();

 // handle parent
 if(!empty($this->parent))
 $crumbs = $this->parent->getBreadCrumb(); 
 

 $crumbs = '<a href="' . $this->category_url . '">' . $this->category_title . '</a>'
 return implode(">", $crumbs);
 

And now, where ever you need it, just call $product->getBreadCrumb() and it will get you all the trail along with categories
