laravel handle json child array - php

Question

For my project I try to create an ajax call and handle the data.
My Ajax call:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: ****,
data: {****},
success: function(data){
console.log(data.rooms);
$('.pagination').html(data.paginate);
},
error: function(){
alert('failure');
}
});
On the server with laravel I create a response with:
return response()->json(['rooms' => $rooms->toJson() , 'paginate' => $bathrooms->render()]);
In my ajax call the json response looks like (Edit this is the original json):
{"rooms": "{\"total\":3,\"per_page\":9,\"current_page\":1,\"last_page\":1,\"next_page_url\":null,\"prev_page_url\":null,\"from\":1,\"to\":3,\"data\":[{\"id\":237,\"name\":\"Modern met allure\",\"description\":\"Badkamer blablabla\",\"collection_id\":187,\"style_id\":7,\"created_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\",\"updated_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\"},{\"id\":243,\"name\":\"TIjdloze charme\",\"description\":\"Tijdloze charme\",\"collection_id\":187,\"style_id\":2,\"created_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\",\"updated_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\"},{\"id\":245,\"name\":\"Staande badkraan Bollicine\",\"description\":\"blablabla\n\",\"collection_id\":199,\"style_id\":7,\"created_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\",\"updated_at\":\"-0001-11-30 00:00:00\"}]}","paginate": ""}
Now I want to loop all the object in data so First I tried:
console.log(data.rooms);
this gave me the first part i wanted (only the rooms not the something_else, next I tried to get only the data part by
console.log(data.rooms.data);
But then the result is
undefined
How should I access/loop through the data (subpart of rooms).

Answer 1

I think the problem that you have two data here. One is variable name and second is key name.
Try to use either:
console.log(data.rooms["data"]);
Or choose another name for success argument:
success: function(roomsdata){
console.log(roomsdata.rooms);
$('.pagination').html(roomsdata.paginate);
},
UPDATE: on seeing how you generate json on server:
return response()
->json([
'rooms' => $rooms->toJson() ,
'paginate' => $bathrooms->render()
]);
You're doing double json encoding: first encoding $rooms to json with toJson() and then encoding json-string to json again with json(). Remove toJson() call, leave only json().
