How to transfer data from the controller to the Laravel template

Use Laravel's controllers to easily transfer data to views & create dynamic webpages w/ an example.

Transferring Data from Controller to Laravel Template

Transferring data from a controller to a Laravel template is a relatively easy process, and is often done in order to display information from a database or other source. To illustrate this process, let's look at a simple example: displaying a list of users from a database.

First, we'll create a route to the controller method that will fetch the data:

Route::get('users', 'UserController@index');

Next, in the controller, we'll create a method that will fetch the data and pass it to the view:

public function index()
{
    $users = User::all();

    return view('users', compact('users'));
}

Here, we are using the Eloquent ORM to fetch all the users from our database and passing them to the view. Now in our view, we can loop through the users and display them:

<ul>
    @foreach($users as $user)
        <li>{{ $user->name }}</li>
    @endforeach
</ul>

Here, we are looping through the $users array and displaying the name of each user. It's important to note that the data is being passed to the view as an array, so we can access the individual properties of each user using the array syntax (e.g. $user['name']).

And that's it! We have successfully fetched data from the controller and passed it to the view, where it can be displayed however we like. This is a simple example, but the same principles can be applied to more complex scenarios, such as displaying more detailed information about each user.
