How to push the values to blade template in Laravel 4

Question

I am trying to push an array to the blade template in laravel 4 Controller name: AdminController

public function listCompanies()
{
    $companyObj = new company();
    $companies = $companyObj->getCompanies();
    $this->layout->content = View::make('admin/main',$companies);
}

Template name: main.blade.php

<div class="container">
     @yield('content')
     @foreach ($companies as $company)
         <p>This is company {{ $company['name'] }}</p>
     @endforeach
</div>

The error I am getting is: Undefined variable: companies (View: C:\\wamp\\www\\larvel-project\\laravel\\app\\views\\admin\\main.blade.php)

Answer 1

The view is expecting to receive an associative array which includes the index 'companies' and will turn that into $companies.

Any of the following should work for you:

$this->layout->content = View::make('admin/main', ['companies' => $companies]);

$this->layout->content = View::make('admin/main', compact('companies'));

$this->layout->content = View::make('admin/main')->with('companies', $companies);
