Populating select options from db - laravel 5.2 - php

Question

I'm using Laravel Collective and Laravel 5.2... I'm kinda new at this, so please if someone can help, I would be grateful.
I want to populate data to my view,
this is my controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests\SaveProfileRequest;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Clas;
use App\Profile;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class ClassesController extends Controller
{
public function getIndex() {
return view('admin.classes.list', [
'classes' => Clas::get()
]);
}
public function postIndex(Request $request) {
$class = Clas::create([
'profile_id'=>
'name' => $request ->input('class-name'),
]);
if($class->id) {
return redirect()->back()->with('message', [
'type'=> 'success',
'message' => 'Успешно записан нов клас!'
]);
}
return redirect()->back()->with('message', [
'type'=> 'danger',
'message' => 'Класът не е записан!'
]);
}
}
and in my View I have this
<div class="panel-body">
{!! Form::open(['method' => 'post', 'class' => 'form-horizontal']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('class-name','Клас:', ['class' => 'control-label col-md-3']) !!}
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::text('class-name', null,['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'например: 8а' ]) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('profile-name','Избери профил:', ['class' => 'control-label col-md-3']) !!}
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::select('profile-name') !!}
</div>
</div>
<div align="center">
{!! Form::submit('Запиши', ['class' => 'btn btn-default']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
</div>
My question is how to pass the data? What should i write in the controller and in the view to connect them?

Answer 1

With regards to you comment.
This returns a list (array) to the view:
EDITED
public function getIndex() {
return view('admin.classes.list', [
//'classes' => Clas::get() //returns object, profile
'profiles' => Profile::lists('name', 'id'); //returns array
]);
}
To populate the select menu with lists of profile_id and name
NB: I changed profile-name to profile_id
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('profile_id','Избери профил:', ['class' => 'control-label col-md-3']) !!}
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::select('profile_id', $profiles) !!}
</div>
</div>
Then your postIndex:
public function postIndex(Request $request) {
$class = Clas::create([
'profile_id'=> $request->get('profile_id'),
'name' => $request ->input('class-name'),
]);
if($class->id) {
return redirect()->back()->with('message', [
'type'=> 'success',
'message' => 'Успешно записан нов клас!'
]);
}
return redirect()->back()->with('message', [
'type'=> 'danger',
'message' => 'Класът не е записан!'
]);
}

Take a look at https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/views#basic-usage
You can pass view variables by calling the function view( string $script, array $viewVariables )
