I want to use that $actions variable in my javascript.

I tried these ways:

<script>
var actions = {{actions}};
</script>

but I got this excpetion

Array to string conversion

I also tried this:

<script>
    @foreach($actions as $action)
        console.log($action);
    @endforeach
</script>

but in the console I got this exception

Uncaught ReferenceError: $action is not defined 

could you help me please?

You have to echo it with curly braces:

<script>
    @foreach($actions as $id => $name)
        console.log('{{ $id }}', '{{{ $name }}}');
    @endforeach
</script>

Your other option is to use the array by converting it to JSON:

<script>
    var actions = {{ json_encode($actions) }};
</script>
