}
}
My Report Model

return $this->belongsToMany('App\Patient' , 'patient_reports');
}
}
My ReportControlller
public function viewList($reportFloor = null)

return view('admin.report_list' , ['reports' => $report]);

And finally my blade
#foreach ($reports as $report)
{{ $report->patients->name }}
#endforeach
But it provides an error like that

Answer 1

Try this:
#foreach ($reports->patients as $patient)
{{ $patient->name }}
#endforeach

Answer 2

As the error implies, you're attempting to access the name attribute on a collection. To fix you should change:
#foreach ($reports as $report)
{{ $report->patients->name }}
#endforeach
to:
#foreach ($reports as $report)
#foreach ($report->patients as $patient)
{{ $patient->name }}
#endforeach
#endforeach

Answer 3

In your controller, i would first find the patients and afterwards get their reports.
$patients = Patient::with('reports')->get();
And then in the view i would do:
//This will first get all the patients
#foreach ($patients as $patient)
// This will get each of patients relational reports
#foreach ($patient->reports as $report)
{{ $report->name }}
#endforeach
#endforeach
