Displaying single item in Laravel - php

Question

I am having a hard time to get over this. Try to display a a single item by ID from database. I set the controller and route, but couldn't make it. Getting error or getting no data by the changes that I make on my show.blade
This is my whole controller:
public function welcome()
{
$estates = array();//here
$data['estates'] = $estates;
return view('welcome', $data);
}
public function search(Request $request)
{
$q = $request->q;
$estates = \DB::table('allestates')
->where("building_name", "LIKE", "%" . $q . "%")
->orWhere("address", "LIKE", "%" . $q . "%")
->orWhere("company_name", "LIKE", "%" . $q . "%")
->orWhere("region", "LIKE", "%" . $q . "%")
->orderBy('price')->paginate(10);
return view("search", compact('estates', 'q'));
}
public function show(allestates $allestates)
{
$estates = allestates::where('id', $allestates->id)->first();
//dd($estates);
if($estates){
return view('pages.show', ['estates' => $estates]);
}else{
return 'no records found';
}
}
Show function must be the problem, but what is the problem I couldn't figure it out.
This is the route:
Route::get("/", "PagesController#welcome");
Route::any("/search", "PagesController#search")->name('search.route');
Route::get('pages/{id}', 'PagesController#show');
And this is the show.blade.
<tbody>
<tr class="even">
<td>{{$estates->building_name}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
An this is the main.blade:
#foreach($estates as $estate)
<tr class="even">
<td>{{str_limit($estate->company_name, $limit = 20)}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->building_name, $limit = 20)}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->address, $limit = 22)}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->price, $limit = 20)}}</td>
<td class="price-hidden">{{$estate->old_price}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->extend, $limit = 20)}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->rooms, $limit = 20)}}</td>
<td>{{str_limit($estate->entry, $limit = 20)}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
ID returning null. but there is ID!

Answer 1

it's because laravel didn't find any record matching your query.
try using findOrFail in querying single record. this would return an error if no record is found.
$estates = allestates::findOrFail($id);
another way is to check wether the query is successful:
public function show($id)
{
$estates = allestates::where('id', $id)->first();
if($estates){
return view('pages.show', ['estates' => $estates]);
}else{
return 'no records found';
}
}
EXPLANATION
the $id paramater inside public function show($id) uses the {id} parameter in your route Route::get('pages/{id}', 'PagesController#show');
laravel will search the database based on the id you place in yoursite.com/pages/{id}
