无法访问Laravel Blade中的外键

Question

I have a relationship between a 'Project' and a 'Client'. Here are my models..

class Client extends Model
{
  public function projects() {
    return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Project');
  }
}

class Project extends Model
{
  public function clients() {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Client');
  }
}

In my 'Projects' controllers index method..

$projects = Project::all();
return view('project/projects', compact('projects'));

And then in my blade file..

@foreach($projects as $project)
<div class="project">
  <div class="status pending"></div>
  <p>{{ $project->name }}</p>
  <span>{{ $project->clients->name }}</span>
</div>
@endforeach

I get the following error 'Trying to get property of non-object'. New to Laravel, please go easy.

That code sure looks like it would work (or wouldn't work but for a different reason), but I've found that sometimes you need to do something like this for relationships to work like you might expect:

$projects = Project::with('clients')->get();
return view('project/projects', compact('projects'));

Also note that since clients is a HasMany relationship, you'll need to iterate over $projects->clients to get at the ->name attribute of one of them.
