No idea if i've done this efficiently:
I am trying to load notifications from the database relevant to the Auth::user()->id in the notification table, and display them if they are unread (unread = 0)
I have a script in my app.blade.php: (it collects the array succesfully, but for the var request i want the '1' to be the variale 'id' but i don't know how to grab it correctly, also how do i display the contents of an array via javascript (foreach loop) confused with that (NOTE: i'm happy to swap to AJAX i don't know what would be better for this.
App.blade script
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function() {
$('.menu').html('Loading please wait ...');
var id = {{ Auth::user()->id }};
var request = $.get('/notifications/1');
request.done(function(response) {
console.log(response);
$(".menu").html(response);
});
});
});
routes.php
route::get('/notifications/{user_id}', 'NotificationController@get');
NotificationController
public function get($user_id)
{
$user = User::findOrFail($user_id);
$notifications = Notification::all();
// dd($notifications);
$notification_array = $user->notifications()->where('read', 0)->get();
return $notification_array;
}
