Laravel 5 call a model function in a blade view

Question

I want to build a blade view from 3 tables:

• "inputs_details" - fields: article_type (values: 'p' for product,'s' for service), article_id, ....
• "products" - fields: id, name
• "services" - fields: id, name

But, in browser, I have the error: "Class 'Product' not found".

Is there a solution to pass to the view this function (to find the name of the product or the service based on article_type and article_id)?

I was trying also with join query, but I couldn't put so many conditions in a single join query .. where article_type is "p", then join with "products" table ... or .... where article_type is "s", then join with "services" table.

Answer 1

Related to the question in your answer:

You have multiple options to achieve this that are way better:

Let's assume you have a model which you pass to the view:

$model = Model::find(1);
View::make('view')->withModel($model);

Now in your Model you could have a function:

public function someFunction() {
    // do something
}

In your view you could call that function directly:

{{$model->someFunction()}}

This is nice if you want to do something with the model (the dataset).

If not you can still make a static function in the model:

public static function someStaticFunction($var1, $var2) {
    // do something
}

And then:

{{App\Model::someStaticFunction($yourVar1,$yourVar2)}}

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

I solve the problem. So simple. Syntax error.

• App\Product
• App\Service

But I also want to know how to pass a function with parameters to view....

Answer 3

want to use model in view as:

{{ Product::find($id) }}

you can use in view:

<?php
$tmp = \App\Product::find($id);
?>
{{ $tmp->name }}

Hope this will help you

In new version of Laravel you can use "Service Injection".

https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/blade#service-injection

/resources/views/main.blade.php

@inject('project', 'App\Project')

<h1>{{ $project->get_title() }}</h1>
