Can't display array values

Question

So, I have this array of arrays, something like this:

protected static $base = [
        [
            'id' => 4,
            'createdAt' => 1498638933,
            'title' => 'Example 1',
            'tables' => [
                ['title' => '#1', 'createdAt' =>  1498638940],
                ['title' => '#2', 'createdAt' =>  1498638941],
                ['title' => '#3', 'createdAt' =>  1498638943],
            ],
        ],
        [
            'id' => 7,
            'createdAt' => 1498643923,
            'title' => 'Example 2',
            'tables' => [
                ['title' => '#1',  'createdAt' =>  1498643925],
                ['title' => '#2',  'createdAt' =>  1498643929],
                ['title' => '#3',  'createdAt' =>  1498643932],
            ],

these arrays are in a Model code, and I want to display them in my page. Also, from the Model:

    public static function getAll() {
    sleep(1);
    return self::$base;
}

From web.php (routes), I have:

Route::get('/', function () {
    $items = \App\MyModel::getAll();
    return view('welcome')->with('items', $items);
});

Now, if I try:

       {!! dd($items) !!}

All the arrays are displayed, but not in a pretty way. I want only their content. So, I followed these steps (https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/passing-arrays-to-blade-and-iterating) which became:

@foreach($items['title'] as $title => $content)
    {{ $title }}
    @foreach ($content as $tables => $item)
        {{ $tables . ' => ' . $item }}
    @endforeach
@endforeach

But 'title' isn't recognized, and I've tried some things like this, nothing works. What I might be missing?

Shouldnt it be @foreach($items as $item) {{ $item['title'] }} @endforeach — Peter Featherstone

It worked for the first loop... what about the arrays inside of this array? — Ana Cláudia Gomes

Simply update to include those inside the first loop too - @foreach($item['tables'] as $table) {{ $table['title'] }} @endforeach — Peter Featherstone

You are trying to loop over an array key inside an array of arrays which is not possible.

You first need to loop through the outer arrays and then you can access the content of the keys inside such as below:

@foreach($items as $item)
   {{ $item['title'] }}
   @foreach($item['tables'] as $table)
      {{ $table['title'] }}
   @endforeach
@endforeach

First of all, if you return variables with a view, you can better use php's compact function so you won't repeat yourself. Here's an example:

return view('welcome', compact('items'));

And since you use dd() it dumps everything in the array and then dies. If you want to show all items you should indeed use a foreach loop, but like this:

@foreach($items as $item)
   {{ $item['title'] }}
   @foreach($item['tables'] as $table)
      {{ $table['title'] }}
   @endforeach
@endforeach
