My issue with laravel is that any data that I want to show returns a model instead of the data.

I migrated my database 4 times just to check if it wasn't an error inside the database, tinker returns models aswell.

My Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Product;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $products = Product::get();
        dd($products);
        return view('home');
    }
}

My model

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'Product_name',
        'Product_image',
        'Product_price',
        'Store_ID'
    ];
}

My blade

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>

                <div class="card-body">
                    @if (session('status'))
                        <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
                            {{ session('status') }}
                        </div>
                    @endif

                    {{ __('You are logged in!') }}
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
@endsection

Product::get(); returns the following:

I have searched everywhere and I somehow cannot find anybody with the same error. What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

The returning of a Collection is the expected behaviour for retrieving multiple models. Just loop through them in your blade file as you would if it were an array:

public function index()
{
    $products = Product::get();
    
    return view('home', compact('products'));
}

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <ul>
            @foreach($products as $product)
                <li>{{ $product->Product_name }} - {{ $product->Product_price }}</li>
            @endforeach
        </ul>
    </div>
@endsection

When you use dd() you'll see the actual model class. The models are designs so that you can access the row data from them directly, though e.g. $product->Product_name .
