I am following Laracasts' videos: Basic Model/Controller/View Workflow.
I have a table holds contact information.
CREATE TABLE `about` (
`id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(500) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`content` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci,
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
I am trying to pass data to view using the following code in the controller file:
public function index()
{
$about = Page::where('page', 'about-me')->get(); //id = 3
return view('about', compact('about'));
}
When I try to show the code as shown below,
@section('title')
{{$about->title}}
@stop
@section('content')
{!! $about->content !!}
@stop
I get error that says:
Property [title] does not exist on this collection instance. (View: E:\laragon\www\newsite\resources\views\about.blade.php)
But if I change the retrieving method in the controller file, it works.
public function index()
{
$about = Page::find(3);
return view('about', compact('about'));
}
When I use dd($about)
in the first case (where()->get()
) the data is encapsulated by an array. In the second case (find(3)
) it displays data as expected.
What am i doing wrong?
When you're using get()
you get a collection. In this case you need to iterate over it to get properties:
@foreach ($collection as $object)
{{ $object->title }}
@endforeach
Or you could just get one of objects by it's index:
{{ $collection[0]->title }}
Or get first object from collection:
{{ $collection->first() }}
When you're using find()
or first()
you get an object, so you can get properties with simple:
{{ $object->title }}
