I need to access data on my view. can you assist me in reviewing my code its throwing me an error massage: "Trying to get property 'avatar' of non-object"
My controller:

//return $profile;
$idd = $user->id;
$name = $user->name;
$email = $user->email;
$avatar = $user->avatar;
$lastname = $profile->lastname;
$cellNumber = $profile->cellNumber;
$street = $profile->address_street;
$city = $profile->address_city;
$province = $profile->address_province;
$postal = $profile->address_postal_code;
$records = array(['id'=>$idd, 'avatar'=>$avatar, 'name'=>$name." ".$lastname,'email'=>$email, 'cellnumber'=>$cellNumber, 'address1'=>$street.", ".$city, 'address2'=>$province.", ".$postal]);
$record = $records[0];
// return $record;
return view('admin.profile.specialist')->with(['record'=>$record]);
My view:
<div class="px-4 pt-0 pb-4 bg-dark">
<div class="media align-items-end profile-header" style="padding-top: 5%">
<div class="profile mr-3"><img src="/storage/avatars/{{ $record->avatar }}" alt="..." width="130" class="rounded mb-2 img-thumbnail">Edit profile</div>
<div class="media-body mb-4 text-white">
<h4 class="mt-0 mb-0">{{ $record->name }}</h4>
<p class="small mb-4">
<i class="fa fa-envelope mr-2"></i>{{ $record->email }}<br>
<i class="fa fa-phone mr-2"></i>{{ $record->cellnumber }}<br>
<i class="fa fa-map-marker mr-2"></i>{{ $record->address1 }},<br> {{ $record->address2 }}<br>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>

<span class="fa fa-star"></span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="custom-control custom-switch text-white">
<div class="row">

<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customSwitch1">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="customSwitch1">Business</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
my response when i uncomment return $record:
{"id":2,"avatar":"default.jpg","name":"Test Data","email":"example#example.io","cellnumber":"0711234567","address1":"1002 Highway, Geelong","address2":"Melbe, 21910"}
I'm not sure what i have missed or maybe the way m trying to access code is wrong.

"Trying to get property 'avatar' of non-object"
This means you're using a variable as an object when it's something else (aray, string, null, etc). This happens in your case because of the following lines
$records = array(['id'=>$idd, 'avatar'=>$avatar, 'name'=>$name." ".$lastname,'email'=>$email, 'cellnumber'=>$cellNumber, 'address1'=>$street.", ".$city, 'address2'=>$province.", ".$postal]);
$record = $records[0];
$record is an array here. $record->avatar will throw the error. $record['avatar'] will access the avatar key of the $record array.
But that is a bit redundant because you've already got all the information you need in the $user and $profile variables. $records and $record have no reason to exist.
$user = User::find($id);
$profile = Personal_Details::select('*')->where('user_id', $id)->first();
return view('admin.profile.specialist', compact('user', 'profile');
$user and $profile are objects so you can use them as such in your view.
<div class="px-4 pt-0 pb-4 bg-dark">
<div class="media align-items-end profile-header" style="padding-top: 5%">
<div class="profile mr-3">
<img src="/storage/avatars/{{ $user->avatar }}" alt="..." width="130" class="rounded mb-2 img-thumbnail">
Edit profile
</div>
<div class="media-body mb-4 text-white">
<h4 class="mt-0 mb-0">{{ $user->name }}</h4>
<p class="small mb-4">
<i class="fa fa-envelope mr-2"></i>{{ $user->email }}<br>
<i class="fa fa-phone mr-2"></i>{{ $profile->cellnumber }}<br>
<i class="fa fa-map-marker mr-2"></i>{{ $profile->address_street}}, {{ $profile->address_city }},<br> {{ $profile->address_province }}, {{ $profile->address_postal_code }}<br>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star checked"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star"></span>
<span class="fa fa-star"></span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="custom-control custom-switch text-white">
<div class="row">
Personal
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customSwitch1">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="customSwitch1">Business</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And that's it. The following might not apply to you, so feel free to ignore.
The query Personal_Details::where('user_id', $user->id)->get() suggests a One-to-one relationship.
You could declare it and then use it in your controller/view.
# User model
public function profile()
{
return $this->hasOne(Personal_Detail::class, 'user_id');
}
# Personal_Detail model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'user_id');
}
# Controller
$user = User::with('profile')->find($id);
return view('admin.profile.specialist', compact('user');
And then in your view, you could replace $profile->... by $user->profile->...
