public function index() { $products = product::paginate(15); return view::make('site.index', [ 'products' => $products ]); } this working , showing products on page. have added function index()
$categories = categories::paginate(15); return view::make('site.index', [ 'categories' => $categories ]); and in index.blade.php
@foreach($categories $category) {{{ $category['category_name'] }}} @endforeach and got blank page error
production.error: exception 'errorexception' message 'undefined variable: categories' in... what problem here , why can't list categories database?
in index method you've return view, no more code executed after return statement.
should this
public function index() { $products = product::paginate(15); $categories = categories::paginate(15); return view::make('site.index', [ 'products' => $products, 'categories' => $categories, ]); // or shorter // return view('site.index', compact('products', 'categories'); }
