Forum Populate HTML with database data

posted 10 years ago

I've come across a few questions like mine, however, each seemed to have a very different answer, so it still keeps me wondering.

I want to populate my HTML with data from my database.

I have the following view:

@extends('layouts.base')

@section('title', 'Home')

@section('body')
    @include('includes.navbar')

    <div class="container">
        <div class="some-class">DATABASE DATA HERE</div>
        <div class="some-class">DATABASE DATA HERE</div>
        <div class="some-class">DATABASE DATA HERE</div>
        <div class="some-class">DATABASE DATA HERE</div>
        <div class="some-class">DATABASE DATA HERE</div>
    </div>

    @include('includes.footer')
@stop

I have the following route:

Route::get('/', function()
{
    return View::make('index');
});

How would I populate the view with data from the database (preferably using Eloquent ORM)?

Thanks.

Hi.

First: read about Eleoquent ORM, how to get data from database. http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent

Second: Learn here how to pass data to views. http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/responses#views

Resume / Example:

Route::get('/', function()
{
    $data = Model::all(); // where "Model" can be any model you have inside of models directory or declared (eg. User).
    return View::make('index')->with('data', $data);  // now you can use the variable $data inside of your view.
});

Best luck.
