Undefined variable in Laravel 8 (running php 8)

Question

I try to show variable from the controller to blade in laravel but the result is "Undefined Variable"

UserController.php

 public function user(){
    $people = ['Edwin','James','Rock','Peter','Maria'];
    return view('user', compact('people'));
}

Web.php

Route::get('/user', function (){
return view('user');

});

user.blade.php

 @if(count(array($people)))
   <ul>
   @foreach($people as $person)
       <li>{{$person}}</li>
   @endforeach
   </ul> @endif

I really appreciate your answer.

your route should be pointing to your controller method since that is where you are actually passing data to the view and this view requires that data — lagbox

Route::get('/user',[\App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class,'user']) — Kamlesh Paul

change your web.php file

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;

Route::get('/user', [UserController::class, 'user']);

In route

Route::get('/user', function (){ return view('user');

That means you are directly loading the view , It will not go to controller . Instead use

Route::get('/user', 'UserController@user');

This will go to user method in usercontroller class
