Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\MySqlConnection::$name - php

Question

Hi i'm trying to make a small system filtering in laravel using the following function in my controller to filter users by their roles or their names here's my current code:
profilecontroller.php:
public function membrevis()
{
$filter = isset($_GET['filter']) ? $_GET['filter'] : null;
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('user_role', 'users.id', '=', 'user_role.user_id')
->join('roles', 'user_role.role_id', '=', 'roles.id')
->where('users.valid','=',0)
->select('users.*','roles.description');
if ($filter != null) {
$users->where('users.name','like','%'.$filter.'%')
->orWhere('roles.description',' like','%'.$filter.'%');
}
$users->get();
return view('membre2',['users'=> $users]);
}
My view has an input form where you can type the name or the role of the members you are trying to filter :
membre2.blade.php:
<form action="/profilecontroller/membrevis" method="get">
<input type="text" name="filter" >
<button type="submit">filter</button>
</form>
#foreach($users as $users)
<h4 class="media-heading">{{ $users->name }}</h4>
#endforeach
The error i'm getting is Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\MySqlConnection::$name
I have no idea why i'm getting this error i'm obviously passing $users to my view with this line of command:
return view('membre2',['users'=> $users]);
Any help would be appreciated! thank you

when using $users->get() it returns Collection instance, you must be assign $users = $users->get(); Corrected code is
public function membrevis()
{
$filter = isset($_GET['filter']) ? $_GET['filter'] : null;
// also can use this structure $filter = isset($_GET['filter']) ?? null;
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('user_role', 'users.id', '=', 'user_role.user_id')
->join('roles', 'user_role.role_id', '=', 'roles.id')
->where('users.valid','=',0)
->select('users.*','roles.description');
if ($filter != null) {
$users->where('users.name','like','%'.$filter.'%')
->orWhere('roles.description',' like','%'.$filter.'%');
}
$users = $users->get();
return view('membre2',['users'=> $users]);
}
also in blade fix it
#foreach($users as $user)
<h4 class="media-heading">{{ $user->name }}</h4>
#endforeach
