Leaving reviews on multiple products and Laravel relations - php

Question

I have order system and when user order some product he then can leave feedback for the product.
My issue is when there are multiple products in same order. I want to place button on each product leave feedback.
In my controller I have this
public function orderView($orderId)
{
$order = Order::where('order_id', $orderId)->where('status', 1)->where('user_id', Auth::user()->user_id)->first();
$reviews = Review::where('user_id', Auth::user()->user_id)->get();
return View::make('order_details', [
'order' => $order,
'reviews' => $reviews
]);
}
The function query the orders table and reviews table. Then on the page I'm trying to do this
#foreach($reviews as $review)
#if($item->product_id == $review->product_id)
#if($review->rating_published == 0)
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Wating for Approval</a>
#else
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Edit Review</a>
#endif
#else
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Leave Review</a>
#endif
#endforeach
For now the problem is that if there is no reviews from logged user I don't see "leave review" button on page.
My review model have
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User', 'user_id', 'user_id');
}
public function item()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Product', 'product_id','product_id');
}
Product model
public function reviews()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Review', 'product_id');
}

Answer 1

you can make use of #forelse blade syntax
#forelse ($users as $user)
<li>{{ $user->name }}</li>
#empty
<p>No users</p>
#endforelse
so your code may be rewritten as follows
#forelse($reviews as $review)
#if($item->product_id == $review->product_id)
#if($review->rating_published == 0)
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Wating for Approval</a>
#else
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Edit Review</a>
#endif
#endif
#empty
<a class="btn btn-warning" href="">Leave Review</a>
#endforelse
so if the review array is empty it will show the leave a review message
