How do I read database data from default User class in Laravel? - laravel

Question

When I use the following code in my routes/web.php file, I keep getting the error of 'Trying to get property of non-object' each time I visit the /user/{id}/post url.
routes/web.php
use App\Post;
use App\User;
Route::get('/user/{id}/post', function($id) {
return User::find($id)->name;
});
App/User.php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function posts() {
return $this->hasOne('Post');
}
}
App/Post.php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Post extends Model
{
// protected $table = 'posts';
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
protected $fillable = [''];
}
How do I view data stored in the table users? I put some dummy data in there to try and retrieve it.

If user hasOne relation with Post,it is better to make relation post() rather than posts() and post belongsTo user.
User Model:
public function post() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Post');
}
Post Model:
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
then, this gives all user's post along with user name.
$users=User::with('post')->get();
foreach($users as $user)
{
print_r($user->name);
print_r($user->post);
}
