I am trying to retrieve data from database and check if the data is empty or not. What problem I am facing is that html is showing even if the data is empty. I want to ignore the html tag like example ul li. Here how i tried is like
@if(!empty($jobseekers->skill_1))
<li> My Skill is : {{ \App\skill::where('id',$jobseekers->skill_1)->pluck('name')->first() }}</li><br/>
@endif
I want to ignore "My Skill is " if the data is empty. I don't want to show anything.
When using ->get() you can't simply use any of the below:
if (empty($jobseekers->skill_1)) { }
if (!$jobseekers->skill_1) { }
if ($jobseekers->skill_1) { }
But, When you are getting data with first() method, You can simply use all above methods.
Because if you dd($jobseekers->skill_1); you'll notice an instance of Illuminate\Support\Collection is always returned, even when there are no results.
I think you are using !empty() on data with ->get() method which will always return true even data is empty. You need to use other way.
To determine if there are any results you can do any of the following:
if (!$jobseekers->skill_1->isEmpty()) { }
if ($jobseekers->skill_1->count()) { }
if (count($jobseekers->skill_1)) { }
If you get $jobseekers with get() method you can not use empty($jobseekers )
instead of empty you can use other conditions :
@if($jobseekers->skill_1 != '')
in this condition you check skill_1 as empty string
also
@if($jobseekers->skill_1)
and etc
replace your code with below code and check it:
@if($jobseekers->skill_1 != '')
<li> My Skill is : {{ \App\skill::where('id',$jobseekers->skill_1)-pluck('name')->first() }}</li><br/>
@endif
you should use isset()
@if(isset($jobseekers->skill_1))
<li> My Skill is : {{ \App\skill::where('id',$jobseekers->skill_1)->pluck('name')->first() }}</li><br/>
@endif
you can use count method
@if(count($jobseekers->skill_1)>0)
<li> My Skill is : {{ \App\skill::where('id',$jobseekers->skill_1)-pluck('name')->first() }}</li><br/>
@endif
@if(count($data)>0)
//write your code which you want to show if data is available
@endif
$jobseekers->skill_1?
