Hi I'm new to Laravel and I'm working on a project for my school, I've followed the roadmap given by the teacher but I still do not manage to display the data from my database.

I already tried to change some names (variables etc.) here and there but I can't find where come from the problem.

VIEW (views\artists\index.blade.php)

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('title', 'Liste des artistes')

@section('content')
    <h1>Liste des {{ $resource }}</h1>

    <table>
        <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Firstname</th>
            <th>Lastname</th>
        </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
        @foreach($artists as $artist)
            <tr>
                <td>{{ $artist->firstname }}</td>
                <td>{{ $artist->lastname }}</td>
            </tr>
        @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
@endsection

ROUTES (routes\web.php)

<?php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('artists', 'ArtistController@index');

CONTROLLER (Controllers\Auth\ArtistController.php)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Artist;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ArtistController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        /*
         Take the artist from the db
         and send it to a specific template
         */
        $artists = Artist::all();

        return view('artists.index',
            [
            'artists' => $artists,
            'resource' => 'artistes',
            ]);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Artist  $artist
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Artist $artist)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Artist  $artist
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Artist $artist)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Artist  $artist
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Artist $artist)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Artist  $artist
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Artist $artist)
    {
        //
    }
}

The only thing who get displayed on my browser when I go to this address

127.0.0.1:8000/artists

is :

Liste des Artistes

Firstname Lastname

But nothing from the content of my Artistes table is displayed.

Any idea? Thanks!
