Get a specific value from a json data

Question

I have the PagesController function that looks like this:

public function home(){
        if (\Session::has('user_id')){
            $posts = DB::table('posts')->get();
            $user = DB::table('users')->where('id', \Session::get('user_id'))->first();
            return view('home', compact('posts', 'user'));
        }else{
            return view('welcome');
        }
    }

And, in my view home.blade.php , when I print out the data using {{$user->user_json}} , I get:

{"id":6,"friends":[],"posts":[],"messages":[],"notifications":[],"pin":""}

So now, How do I get a specific value like the id of the user?

Answer 1

If you sent json, you have to decode in the blade and it will return an associative array as we passed true in the second parameter

$user_data = json_decode($user_json, true);

Answer 2

$json = json_decode($user->user_json, true);
{{$json['id']}} 

Or

$obj= json_decode($user->user_json);
$obj->id;

Try the above code it will work.
