Laravel recursive Category list with checkbox

How can I query the categories so that the parent and its related children are displayed in a single row?

Example datatbase:

id parent_id name
1 0 Category
2 1 subCat 1
3 2 subsubCat 1
4 0 Category 2
5 3 subCat 2


Code:

public static function getCategories($categories, &$result, $parent_id = 0)
{
$cats = $categories->filter(function ($item) use ($parent_id) {
return $item->parent_id == $parent_id;
});

foreach ($cats as $cat)
{
$result[$cat->id] = $cat->name;
self::getCategories($categories, $result, $cat->id);
}

return $result;
}

public static function index()
{
$categories = PropertyCategory::select('id', 'parent_id', 'name')->get();
$result = [];
return self::getCategories($categories, $result);
}


Example list (This is the layout I would like to achieve):

<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="scales" value="3" />
<label for="scales">Category -> subCat 1 -> subsubCat 1</label>
</div>

<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="scales" value="5" />
<label for="scales">Category 2 -> subCat 2</label>
</div>
