Why I get "Undefined variable" in Laravel view?
laravel, php, templates, undefined
Solution
You are not passing the `$category` variable to your view, you're just passing `$posts`.
Change your line:
return View::make('posts.showcase', compact('posts'));
To be:
return View::make('posts.showcase', compact('posts', 'category'));
And your `$category` variable will be available.
Problem
when I try to fetch data from table where categories are I get Undefined variable: category error. $posts variable work fine. ``` @if(count($posts)) @foreach($posts as $post) @if($post->category) <div class="{{ $post->category->name }} isotope-item"> <img src="../img/showcase/1.jpg" alt=""> <div class="disp-post"> <span class="icon"></span> <p class="time">{{ $post->updated_at }}</p> <h4>{{ Str::words($post->title, 3) }}</h4> <p>{{ Str::words($post->body, 60) }}</p> <p class="link">{{ HTML::linkRoute('posts.show', 'Read more', array($post->id)) }}</p> </div> </div> @endif @endforeach @endif ``` but when i try $category: ``` @if(count($category)) @foreach($category as $c) <li><a href="#" data-filter="{{ $c->name }}">Networking</a></li> @endforeach @endif ``` I get an error. What am I doing wrong? This is from my PostsController ``` public function showcase() { $category = Category::all(); $posts = Post::with('category')->orderBy('updated_at')->get(); return View::make('posts.showcase', compact('posts')); } ```
