Beginner in Laravel - Eager loading seems to not work? - php

Question

I'm new to Laravel and I'm trying to make a post where the user's post can receive likes from other users. But I'm trouble at when you click the user, it was suppose to direct to the users page where you can see all its post and the likes the it received. This is the code that suppose to do that work:
This is the controller:
public function index(User $user)
{
$posts = $user->posts()->with('user', 'likes')->get();
return view('users.posts.index', [
'user' => $user,
'posts' => $posts,
]);
}
}
and this is the view/template:
<div class="flex justify-center">
<div class="w-8/12 bg-white p-6 rounded-lg">
{{$user->name}}
</div>
</div>
I don't know what's the problem though, or is it a bug with Laravel eager loading?
But unfortunately it only returns a blank page, there's no error though.
The thing is after putting this code inside dump and die, there's data showing from the database. I don't why it doesn't show. Can someone help me with this problem? Much appreciated

Answer 1

If you want to access the posts you can iterate through them:
#foreach($posts as $post)
{{ $post->title }}
{{ $post->likes->count() }}
#endforeach
Not sure what data or relationships you want to access.

Check your route whether it has a user id for model injection
eg:/index/{user}
also in your blade example, there is no posts are used.you are using the user object
public function index(User $user)
{
$posts = $user->posts()->with('user', 'likes')->get();
return view('users.posts.index')->with([
'user' => $user,
'posts' => $posts,
]);
}
