# `firstOrFail()`
The firstOrFail method returns the first element in the collection, or throws an error if there are no elements:
```js
collect([1, 2, 3, 4]).firstOrFail(item => item > 1);
// 2
```
```js
collect([1, 2, 3, 4]).firstOrFail(item => item > 4);
// Error ('Item not found.') is thrown.
```
You may also call the firstOrFail method with no arguments to get the first element in the collection. If the collection is empty, an error is thrown:
```js
collect([1, 2, 3, 4]).firstOrFail();
// 1
```
```js
collect().firstOrFail();
// Error ('Item not found.') is thrown.
```
Like the where method, you may also pass an attribute, operator, and value:
```js
const collection = collect([
{ product: 'Desk', price: 200, discounted: true },
{ product: 'Chair', price: 100, discounted: true },
{ product: 'Bookcase', price: 150, discounted: true },
{ product: 'Door', price: 100 },
]);
collection.firstOrFail('product', '=', 'Desk');
// { product: 'Desk', price: 200, discounted: true }
```
