Redirect with compact value in laravel

Question

Route :

Route::get('merchantTrans/{id}','MerchantController@merchant');

Merchant Controller :

public function merchant($id){
    $merchant = Merchant::whereId($id)->get();
    return redirect('Merchant view')->with(compact('merchant'));
}

View Route :

Route::view('Merchant view','merchant.listview')->name('Merchant view');

I cannot pass merchant compact value to view.

Produce error

Undefined variable: merchant

Any other best way?

Answer 1

Try this

return redirect()->route('Merchant view')->with( ['merchant' => $merchant] );

In blade file :

<?php $merchants = Session::get('merchant'); ?>
@foreach ($merchants as $merchant)
    //your code
@endforeach 

Hope it helps you !

The Route::view is made for the static views with static parameters passed like :

Route::view('Merchant view','merchant.listview', ['param1' => 'value1']);

Since you want to pass dynamic parameters then it will be better to use the regular route passing by the related controller action and retrieving the desired data.

Anyway you could use Redirect::route() like :

return Redirect::route('Merchant view',['merchant' => base64_encode($merchant)]);

And get the passed variable in the blade side as a HTTP parameter using :

{{ base64_decode(Request::get('merchant')) }}
