Laravel error when hasOne has nothing - php

Question

I am trying to pre-populate some fields in a form and I'm new to relationships.
My controller:
public function index($supplierId) {
$Supplier = new Supplier;
$supplierData = Supplier::find($supplierId);
$supplierData->countryId = ($supplierData->countryId == 0 ? 258 : $supplierData->countryId);
$supplierData->writtenLanguageId = ($supplierData->writtenLanguageId == 0 ? 1 : $supplierData->writtenLanguageId);
$supplierData->paymentTermsId = ($supplierData->paymentTermsId == 0 ? 5 : $supplierData->paymentTermsId);
$countries = Countries::lists('country', 'id');
$languages = Languages::lists('language', 'id');
$paymentTerms = PaymentTerms::lists('term', 'id');
$leadTimes = Leadtimes::lists('leadtime', 'id');
return View::make('supplier.supplier', array(
'supplierData' => $supplierData,
'countries' => $countries,
'languages' => $languages,
'paymentsTerms' => $paymentTerms,
'leadtimes' => $leadTimes
));
}
My model:
class Supplier extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'suppliers';
public function email() {
return $this->hasOne('SupplierEmail', 'supplierId');
}
public function creditLimits() {
return $this->hasOne('SupplierCreditLimits', 'supplierId');
}
public function website() {
return $this->hasOne('SupplierWebsite', 'supplierId');
}
}
The problem:
<div class='col-xs-12 col-md-6'>{{Form::text('website', $supplierData->website->website, array('class' => 'form-control input-sm'))}}</div>
When there is no row (there is no record), I get:
Trying to get property of non-object (View: C:\wamp\vhosts\view\laravel\app\views\supplier\supplier.blade.php)
How do I get this to work properly?

Answer 1

In your view, use isset to check the value first:
<div class='col-xs-12 col-md-6'>
{{Form::text('website',
isset($supplierData->website->website) ? $supplierData->website->website : '',
array('class' => 'form-control input-sm'))
}}
</div>
Or, better yet, handle this logic in your controller and pass the result to the view:
$supplierData->URL = isset($supplierData->website->website) ? $supplierData->website->website : '';
