How to only show all articles that contains a particular value? - php

Question

Currently using Laravel 8, I have to show on a page all articles but only the ones that contain a specific row value in my Database. For instance, in this one, I have a column in the desired table that is called "is_reserved" as TinyInt acting as a True or false (1-0).
I have searched absolutely everywhere and I cannot understand nor find the right syntax for filtering and show only articles that aren't reserved (is_reserved = 0).
In my blade view file, I have a #foreach loop that fetches my item from my controller, like the following below. Which works by the way, just not the way I intend it to be. I'm out of ideas.
TL:DR: I just want to be able to show all items from my database but only the ones with a specific row value.
<section class="row justify-content-evenly mt-5 mx-sm-3">
#foreach ($donations as $donation)
<article class="box col-md-5 col-sm-12 row p-3 mt-md-3 mt-sm-5 d-flex justify-content-around">
<img src="{{ $donation->image }}" alt="image" class="col" style="border-radius: 100%;">
<div class="col">
<p style="text-align: justify;">{{ Str::limit($donation->description, 80) }}</p>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-start flex-column text-left" style="width: auto; height: 100px;">
<h5>Location: Quebec</h5>
<p>Meteo: Cold</p>
<div class="row justify-content-between">
<button class="col-5 btn yellowBtn">reserve</button>
<a class="col-5 btn greenBtn" href="{{route('view-item', $donation->id)}}">View</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</article>
#endforeach

Move the logic to the controller / service before looping through them, then send the necessary rows to your blade (probably with a $is_reserved boolean in the array/object)
Keep in mind that if you're diving into logic in the blade / template file itself, it's best to move it back a step and just provide the template the simplest data you can.
Taking your question as an example, before sending the rows to the template, and just show the ones that match your need.
e.g.
$rows = DB::table('your_table')->where('is_reserved', '1')->get();
return $rows; //or extend your template here
Otherwise, you can ad an #if condition right to your template, and render only if ceratin condition is met
