I like how you add humor to your lessons, keep it up, we are following

But this is very stupid way for me to introduce controller since I introduced it as a badass function of Laravel. Sorry for that. Let’s get into the fun stuff with controllers. Well remember the first route we created, where we returned a view, well we originally do that in a controller.
So let’s see how we can do that. But first let me create a folder in our views folder, you know, the folder where we keep our HTML files. Note that all files here must have the “.blade.php” extension.

So you know how I’m always calling them HTML files, well I lied. They are actually called templates.

So I’ll create a folder called frontend.

Here we use the double curly braces to get a value....it this the equivalent to superglobal variables in native php? ie Get, Post and Session

So let see some functionalities of controllers. We can pass data from controllers to views.
All we have to do in pass a second argument into the view() function. This argument should be an associative array in which the key is the name of the data and the value is the actual data being passed.

No. It's actually a syntax for the templating language of Laravel. If you like you can use <?PHP echo $name; ?>
instead. But that will suck the whole fun out of it. Because the double curly braces actually do a lot of things for you behind the scene. For example it helps you escape the strings.

Ayt...got it...*thumbs up

Hi..it just occurred to me, what kind of project are we going to build?

Hello everyone who cares. Welcome to this thread on Laravel tutorial.

If I'm being honest, I'm not sure. Reason being I'm not exactly a web designer per say. I'm a backend developer. So if we're going to to build a project. it won't exactly have the best frontend interface. But you can rest assured that it will touch everything I will teach you.

Don't worry about the front end, I can craft something for our project. #anxious4nextLecture

Alright No Qualms

I'm sorry for not posting soon. You know now. When NEPA decide to be NEPA. So j haven't been able to use my system. Abeg don't think I'm unserious. I'll find a way to post soon enough. Up next. We will learn about sending more types of data from the controller to the view. And I'll also teach about the blade templating language.

Yes i understand so i kinda took the liberty of poking around on my own. Sha when we reach where i dont understand i would point it out.

Its so sad how guys wanna learn but the enabling environment isnt there.

We can also pass out other object types from the controller to the view, in this instance we’ll pass out an array. As you notice, I am putting the whole data we want to pass into the view into an associative array called “Context”.

In PHP, we normally list arrays using the foreach statement. We do the same in Laravel, only a little differently. We write a “@” symbol, followed by our foreach statement. We end our statement with and endforeach.

Since I may not have enough words to explain blade templating on my own before NEPA does their work again.
Please read the document in this link and ask questions where you're lost.

Hello? anyone here?


preciousaang hope you are doing well, just letting you know that we are still following this thread. Hope to see an update soon bro.

FYI the laravel docs are kinda complicated to read.
