How to Fix Your Laravel @foreach Loop to Display Database Data Correctly

When you’re new to Laravel, getting data from your database to display on a web page can be challenging. One common issue is issues with the @foreach directive. In this post, we will break down how to troubleshoot and fix this problem to successfully show data fetched from your database.

The Problem

You may have found yourself in a frustrating situation similar to the following: after building your application and setting up your database, you try to display data, but nothing shows up on the page.

In the scenario presented, the @foreach loop in Blade is meant to iterate over an array of service_type, but the page remains blank. Let’s look at the steps to resolve this issue.

Setting Up the Controller

First, you need to make sure that your controller is correctly querying the database and fetching the desired data.

Create the ServiceTypeController

You already started on the right track by creating a ServiceTypeController.php. Here’s what your code should look like for the index method:

Key Points:

Ensure that the query is correct; make sure your table name is service_type.

The retrieved data is passed to the view properly as an associative array.

Routing the Request

Make sure to route the request to the correct method in your web.php routes file. Your route code should be:

This line routes the home page ("/") to your index method, ensuring that your data will be fetched and displayed at the right place.

Updating Your Blade View

Now that you have set up the controller and routing, ensure your Blade view correctly displays the data. Your index.blade.php file should contain the following loop:

Debugging Your Loop

Check if $service_type has data. Add @dd($service_type) before the @foreach loop to check if data is being correctly passed.

Verify that your query returns results. Ensure there are entries in the service_type table.

If you do not see any data, look back at the database connection configuration in your .env file to make sure you're connecting to the correct database.

Additional Tips

Use compact: When returning data to your view, you can use compact() which makes your code cleaner. For instance:
