i want to get a video id so that it can help me get comments related to that video in my site, it only displays a video but not comments - laravel

Question

The biggest issue here is how to get these comments using the videoid in my bladeview -- my blade
<div id="videoid">{{$id->id}}</div>
<div id="videotitle">{{$id->title}}</div>
#php($comments = \App\comments::where('video_id','{{$id->id}}')->get() )
<div id="displaycomment">
#foreach($comments as $comment)
<div id="username">
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->user_id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con">{{$comment->created_at }}</div>
</div>
<div id="comment">{{$comment->comment }}</div>
#endforeach
</div>
My controller works well --
mycontroller
public function watch($id)
{
return view('video/watch', compact('id'));
}

Answer 1

This is your blade. Thought there's no need to query from the view but rather from the controller.
<div id="videoid">{{ $video->id }}</div>
<div id="videotitle">{{ $video->title }}</div>
<div id="displaycomment">
#foreach($comments as $comment)
<div id="username">
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->user_id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con">{{$comment->created_at }}</div>
</div>
<div id="comment">{{$comment->comment }}</div>
#endforeach
</div>
Then from your controller you can fetch your data and pass them to the view using Laravel's magic method:
public function watch($video_id)
{
$video = Video::whereId($video_id)->first();
$comments = \App\comments::where('video_id',$video_id)->get()
return view('video/watch',[
'video'=>$video,
'comments'=>$comments
]);
}

Answer 2

in controller
public function watch($id)
{
$video = Video::with('comments')->find($id);
$comments = \App\comments::where('video_id','{{$video->id}}')->get()
return view('video/watch', compact('video','comments'));
}
in view
<div id="videoid">{{$video->id}}</div>
<div id="videotitle">{{$video->title}}</div>
<div id="displaycomment">
#foreach($comments as $comment)
<div id="username">
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con"><h6>{{$comment->user_id }}</h6></div>
<div id="con">{{$comment->created_at }}</div>
</div>
<div id="comment">{{$comment->comment }}</div>
#endforeach
</div>

Answer 3

You seem to be missing a key part of using Eloquent.
Relationships.
// Video model:
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
// Comment model:
public function video()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Video::class);
}
// Controller code: (Switched to [Route-model binding][2])
public function watch(Video $video)
{
return view('video.watch', [
'video' => $video
]);
}
// Update routes for Route-model-binding
Route::get('/watch/{video}', 'VideoController#watch')->name('video.watch');
// View:
<div id="videoid">{{$video->id}}</div>
<div id="videotitle">{{$video->title}}</div>
<div id="displaycomment">
#foreach ($video->comments as $comment)
<div id="username">
<div id="con">
<h6>{{$comment->id }}</h6>
</div>
<div id="con">
<h6>{{ $comment->user_id }}</h6>
</div>
<div id="con">$comment->created_at</div>
</div>
<div id="comment">$comment->comment</div>
#endforeach
</div>
Route-model binding
