access the edit function inside my controller - laravel

Question

Hi guys new to laravel here. I am trying to edit my post and when i try to access the edit function in my controller i get this error Property [id] does not exist on this collection instance.
This is My route code
Route::resource('/article','PostController');
This is my Controller
public function edit(Post $post)
{
$post = Post::all();
return view('article.edit',compact('post'));
}
This is my View code
<a href="{{route('article.edit', $post->id)}}" class="btn btn-info btn-sm btn-bordred wave-light">
<i class="fas fa-edit"></i></a>
And solution ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

When you use "all", you will get all data from post table. In edit function you get $id as a parameter.
public function edit($id)
{
$post = Post::find($id);
return view('article.edit',compact('post'));
}

Answer 2

you are passing collection to your view instead of single post
public function edit(Post $post)
{
$post = Post::all(); // this is a collection of posts
return view('article.edit',compact('post'));
}
it should be:
public function edit(Post $post)
{
// here $post holds the instance of single/current post
return view('article.edit',compact('post'));
}
Then in your blade
<a href="{{route('article.edit', ['post' => $post->id ])}}" class="btn btn-info btn-sm btn-bordred wave-light">
<i class="fas fa-edit"></i></a>
Note: Since you are passing $post as instance of the model so therefor you don't have to use Post::find(); laravel will take care of that automatically at back-end
Thanks

Answer 3

Post::all() return a Collection (multiple Models)
You need to pass the id in the edit($id) function and then you can find($id)
public function edit($id){
$post = Post::find($id);
return view('article.edit')->with('post', $post);
}

Answer 4

That's because the variable $post holds a Laravel Collection. You have to iterate on that collection to access each post model.
// Returns a collection of posts model (think of
// it as an array of posts)
$post = Post::all();
On your blade, use a foreach to iterate through each post.
Edit
I see that you already have an instance of post available, in that case just use this code
public function edit(Post $post)
{
return view('article.edit', ["post" =>$post]);
}
