Hey guys I am new to laravel and I have been trying to store all records of table 'student' to a variable and then pass that variable to a view so that I can display them.
I have a controller - ProfileController and inside that a function:
public function showstudents()
{
$students = DB::table('student')->get();
return View::make("user/regprofile")->with('students',$students);
}
In my view I have this code
<html>
<head></head>
<body> Hi {{Auth::user()->fullname}}
@foreach ($students as $student)
{{$student->name}}
@endforeach
@stop
</body>
</html>
I am receiving this error : Undefined variable: students (View:regprofile.blade.php)
Can you give this a try,
return View::make("user/regprofile", compact('students')); OR
return View::make("user/regprofile")->with(array('students'=>$students));
While, you can set multiple variables something like this,
$instructors="";
$instituitions="";
$compactData=array('students', 'instructors', 'instituitions');
$data=array('students'=>$students, 'instructors'=>$instructors, 'instituitions'=>$instituitions);
return View::make("user/regprofile", compact($compactData));
return View::make("user/regprofile")->with($data);
For Passing a single variable to view.
Inside Your controller create a method like:
function sleep()
{
return view('welcome')->with('title','My App');
}
In Your route
Route::get('/sleep', 'TestController@sleep');
In Your View Welcome.blade.php
. You can echo your variable like {{ $title }}
For An Array(multiple values) change,sleep method to :
function sleep()
{
$data = array(
'title'=>'My App',
'Description'=>'This is New Application',
'author'=>'foo'
);
return view('welcome')->with($data);
}
You can access you variable like {{ $author }}
.
In Laravel 5.6:
$variable = model_name::find($id);
return view('view')->with ('variable',$variable);
Try with this code:
return View::make('user/regprofile', array
(
'students' => $students
)
);
Or if you want to pass more variables into view:
return View::make('user/regprofile', array
(
'students' => $students,
'variable_1' => $variable_1,
'variable_2' => $variable_2
)
);
You can try this as well:
public function showstudents(){
$students = DB::table('student')->get();
return view("user/regprofile", ['students'=>$students]);
}
and use this variable in your view.blade file to get students name and other columns:
{{$students['name']}}
I thinks pass data from controller to view is bad. Because it is not reusable and make controller fatter. View should be separated into 2 parts: template and helper(which can get data from anywhere). You can search for view composer in laravel to have more information.
