Translate to Blade+Laravel a while loop - laravel

Question

This code works, however in my learning of Laravel, I want to know if using Blade+Laravel syntax, can be better implemented
<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i <= (5 - $post->images->count())) {
echo '<div class="col"> </div>';
$i++;
}
?>
Thanks

Answer 1

https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/blade#loops
I would suggest using a for loop instead of a while loop in this case:
#for ($i = 1; $i <= (5 - $post->images->count()); $i++)
<div class="col"> </div>
#endfor

Answer 2

I'm not sure is the best way to do, but works.
<?php $z = 0; ?>
#while ($z < 3)
{{ "test".$z }}
<?php $z++ ?>
#endwhile

Answer 3

#php
$i = 0;
#endphp
#while (++$i <= (5 - $post->images->count()))
<div class="col">
</div>
#endwhile

Answer 4

#for ($i = 0; $i <= (5 - $post->images->count()); $i++)
<div class="col"> </div>
#endfor

Answer 5

Yes, there is. Templating is made just for that, you can see how similar things are done with the docs : laravel blade : loops
#for ($i = 0; $i < $post->images->count()); $i++)
<div class="col"> </div>
#endfor

Answer 6

The better solution would be to use #foreach
#foreach( $image as $post->images )
<div class="col"> </div>
#endforeach

Answer 7

In this specific case beacause you are looping count() you should use foreach, however you may also be interested #forelse:
#forelse($image as $img)
<div class="col"> {{ $img }}</div>
#empty
<div class="col"> NO IMAGES </div>
#endforesle
