Problem displaying the data from my 'artists' table with Laravel - php

Question

I do not manage to display the data from my database (I'm working with Laragon).
I already tried to change some names (variables etc.) here and there but I can't find where come from the problem.
I was able to display nothing first so I needed to change:
resources\views\artist\index.php -> resources\views\artists\index.blade.php
I probalby need to change more things in the code but I don't know where.
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\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)
{
//
}
}
DATABASE (database\ArtistsTableSeeder.php)
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class ArtistsTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
$artists = [
['firstname'=>'Bob','lastname'=>'Sull'],
['firstname'=>'Marc','lastname'=>'Flynn'],
['firstname'=>'Fred','lastname'=>'Durand'],
];
foreach ($artists as $a) {
DB::table('artists')->insert([
'firstname' => $a['firstname'],
'lastname' => $a['lastname'],
]);
}
}
}
The only thing who get displayed on my browser when I go to 127.0.0.1:8000/artists is:
**Liste des Artistes**
Firstname Lastname
But nothing from the content of my Artistes table is displayed.

Thank you very much guys, the problems was that I needed to change the names of my columns...
FirstName LastName to Firstname Lastname
The data get displayed properly now.
