Get first 5 Images from a specific content folder

I want to fetch the first 5 images from an invisble content/projects folder to use them in a slider in the “home” template

The content folder looks like this

content
    01-home
    02-about
    projects
        01-project-a
            01-image-a.jpg
        02-project-b
            01-image-b.jpg

the following code does not work:

$sliderImages = $pages->get('projects')->children()->visible()->images();

You have to iterate through the children and then fetch the image for each child:

<?php foreach(page('projects')->children()->visible() as $child) { $image = $child->images()->first(); } ?>

if you need the images in a new Collection, you can append each image to the collection within the foreach loop.

That helped a lot. Thank you!

I ended up with this:

$sliderImages =  new ArrayObject();

$n = 0;
foreach(page('projects')->children()->visible()->flip() as $child) {
    if ($n < 5) {
        $sliderImages->append($child->image('01-head.jpg'));
        $n++;
    } else {
        break;
    }
}
