Okay so I've hit a wall for some reason and I can't figure this out. I wan't to check if there are any records in a query and then use an @if in my view to say either "yes, there are records" or "none". Nothing I've tried is working..
What I want:
<div class="col-md-12 col-style">
<h1 class="no-border">YOUR LATEST CONVERSIONS</h1>
@if(something here that lets me test if $transactions is empty)
<table class="table table-striped">
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>User</th>
<th>Amount</th>
<th>Value</th>
<th>Result</th>
<th>Result Value</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
@foreach($transactions as $transaction)
<tr>
<td>{{ $transaction->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->status }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->username }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->amount }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->value }}</td>
<td>{{ number_format($transaction->result, 2) }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->result_value }}</td>
<td>{{ $transaction->created_at }}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</table>
@else
yo no records
@endif
</div>
My controller:
public function index($username)
{
$user = User::where('username', $username)->firstOrFail();
$id = $user->id;
$transactions = Transactions::where('user_id', '=', $id)->take(5)->get();
return view('user.profile', compact('user', '=', 'userCurrency', 'transactions'));
So if you see in the top part there's a basic @if. Maybe I'm over thinking it, or am I passing in something that cant be checked the way I want it to?
Thanks!
