How to process Matrix field in controller

Question

I am trying to process a text field inside a Matrix field.

In the controller I have this to get posted params:

$element->setFieldValuesFromRequest($fieldsLocation);

If I want to process a custom text field, I can do it easily with

$result=$element->getFieldValue('textFieldHandle')

which $result is exactly the text field value.

but if I have this text field in Matrix field, if I do this:

$result=$element->getFieldValue('matrixFieldHandle')
craft::dd($result)

I get a craft\elements\db\MatrixBlockQuery object which I don't know how I can fetch text value from this object.

You have to loop the Matrix field first, something like this:

foreach($entry->matrixHandle->all() as $block) {
   echo $block->fieldHandle;
}
