Passing data from blade to route - php

Question

I'm trying to list articles from database then show details of the article when the user clicks on it.
How can I pass the article id or name to the route/controller to display the details? I tried butting the id in the href but I don't know how to handle it from routes!
this is the articles list:
#foreach ($articles as $article)
<div class="panel-body">
{{$article->name}}
</div>
#endforeach
where do I go from here?

Answer 1

Your View file for listing all the articles:
#foreach ($articles as $article)
<div class="panel-body">
{{$article->name}}
</div>
#endforeach
routes.php
Route::get('/article/{id}', 'ArticlesController#show');
ArticlesController.php
/**
* Show the article of the given id.
*
* #param int $id The id of the article
* #return \Illuminate\View\View
*/
public function show($id)
{
$article = Article::findOrFail($id);
return view('articles.show', compact('article'));
}
show.blade.php
<h3>{{ $article->name }}</h3>
<p>{{ $article->body }}</p>

Answer 2

If you want to use route() you can pass parameters in second argument
#foreach ($articles as $article)
<div class="panel-body">
{{ $article->name }}
^^^ or whatever is the name of your route
</div>
#endforeach
Naturally this assumes you have your route defined in app\Http\routes.php. For example
Route::get('/articles/{id}', ['as' => 'article.show', 'uses' => 'ArticleController#show']);
Alternatively you can use url()
#foreach ($articles as $article)
<div class="panel-body">
{{ $article->name }}
</div>
#endforeach
