Is $users and array/collection of User's model? Each item from that array will be an object and when blade tries to output it as a string it will fail.

Try outputting the user's attributes:

 @foreach ($users as $user)
       {{ $user->id }} / {{ $user->email }}
 @endforeach

If you need, for any reason, you need to show the user object you can try the @json(...) blade directive

 @foreach ($users as $user)
       @json($user)
 @endforeach

@rodrigo.pedra $users is an array. if dd($user) getting like this

@foreach ($crud as $user)
        {{ dd($user) }}
@endforeach 

output:

array:8 [▼
  "id" => 766
  "create_time" => "2019-10-18T17:51:17Z"
  "update_time" => "2019-11-18T17:51:37Z"
  "state" => "error"
  "error" => "no record"
  "name" => "john"
]

You probably need a nested foreach. Hard to teel what you are doing.

Like this example:

    public function testJson()
    {
        $data = '[{  
    "ClientID":24,
    "Name":"Client1",
    "Balance1":null,
    "Balance2":null
},
{  
    "ClientID":25,
    "Name":"Client2",
    "Balance1":24,
    "Balance2":0
}]';
        //dd($data);
        $decoded = json_decode($data, true);
        //dd($decoded);
        foreach ($decoded as $d) {
            foreach ($d as $k => $v) {
                echo "$k - $v\n";
            }
        }
    }

But use some trial and error.

You are trying to echo out an array as a string. You just need to specify a key:

@foreach ($users as $user)
       {{ $user['name'] }}
 @endforeach

Also be careful with using {!! !!}
