使用Form：select（）门面填充带有ID​​和名称的Laravel 5.2 Select框

Question

I know there is already a question on stackoverflow about populating select box , but there are answers given using form:select() facade

I want to populate select box but not using form facade. I did this and it worked for me

In controller

public function create()
{
    $states=General_states::all('state_name','state_id');
    return view('admin.addcity',compact('states'));
}

In view

 <select class="form-control" name="movie_language">
        @foreach($states as $data)
        <option value="{{ $data->state_id }}">{{ $data->state_name }} </option>
        @endforeach
</select>

But I want to use ::lists here like this

In Controller

public function create()
{
    $states=General_states::lists('state_name','state_id');
    return view('admin.addcity',compact('states'));
}

But In view I am getting error message as trying to get the property of Non Object. Help me so that I can use lists in controller and populate select box in view without using {{form::select() }}

Answer 1

if you don't need filtering here is a short hand way.suppose your General_states namespace is App\\

{!! Form::select('movie_language', App\General_states::lists('state_name','state_id'),'', ['class'=>'form-control']) !!}

or if you want to another way just send me the dump of after changing your code like this and executing.

public function create()
{
    $states=General_states::lists('state_name','state_id');
    dd($states);
    return view('admin.addcity',compact('states'));
}
