Can't pass data into view

Give this a try

Laravel 4:

public function index()
{
    $articles = Article::all();

    return View::make('dashboard', compact('articles'));
}

Laravel 5:

public function index()
{
    $articles = Article::all();

    return view('dashboard', compact('articles'));
}

Still no effect :c

Undefined variable: articles (View: /Users/Ultearie/Sites/Czysta/Czysta/resources/views/dashboard.blade.php)

Your code looks fine! Have you tried passing another variable in your view to check if that worked?

I've tried with User::all() and with value set by me like

$articles = Article::all(); return View::make('dashboard')->with('test', 'test variable');

None worked

You are sure you have data? Can you give this a try:

public function index()
{
    $articles = Article::all();

    dd($articles);
    
    return View::make('dashboard', compact('articles'));
}

No effects with this part too, what should dd function do?

it does a var_dump on the variable and kills the script. If this doesn't give you anything then you're probably not calling this function correctly! Can you show me your routes.php?

Yeah,

Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@index');

Route::get('home', 'HomeController@index');

Route::get('login', 'auth@index');

Route::get('admin', 'DashboardController@index');

Route::controllers([ 'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController', 'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController', ]);

Its an admin route, quite fresh laravel instance

Is there articles in the table ?

Yeah, there are some dump articles

Changed everything, passed only $article now and still it says its not set

Try delete all views in cache.

public function index() {

    $articles = Article::all();

    dd($articles);

    return view('dashboard', compact(articles));

}

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model {

/**
 * The database table used by the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $table = 'articles';

/**
 * The attributes that are mass assignable.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $fillable = ['title', 'data', 'place', 'article'];

}

{{ $articles }}

Deleting cache didnt solve problem

Crafted new laravel instance, and it worked. Something went wrong there

Weird stuff..

Now i can't get my models to work...

FatalErrorException in DashboardController.php line 33: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\User' not found

with code:

public function index(){ $articles = User::all(); return view('welcome')->with('test', $articles); }

I'm new to laravel, sorry for such a dumb questions, but have i to use "use" of my Model namespace? Show me example please

@Ultearie You need to import User class.

<?php namespace Cpnv\Http\Controllers;

use App\User;

...

Look at some video about Laravel 4/5 fundamentals and OOP, it'll help you. :)

use App\User;
