Laravel 5:Pass Multiple Array From Controller to View

Question

I just started shifting to Laravel 5 from Symfony and I am wondering how to pass multiple arrays from my controller to my view.

I am trying to use PHP's compact() function but I am unable to properly get them in the view.

$users = Users::all();
$projects = Projects::all();
$foods = Foods::all();

return ('controller.view', compact('users','projects','foods'));

What is the best for me to be able to transfer all these array of objects to my view.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You're missing call to the view method in your example

return view('controller.view', compact('users','projects','foods'));

That said, the rest of the syntax is correct.

In your view you can access those variables as you would normally. If you're using blade for example.

In resources/views/controller/view.blade.php

@foreach ($users as $user)
    {{$user->property}}
@endforeach

If you're not using blade.

In resources/views/controller/view.php

<?php
foreach ($users as $user) {
    echo $user->property;
}
?>
