Trying to get property 'likes' of non-object (View: /app/resources/views/products/productView.blade.php)

on my local server this is working and on hosting it is giving error. I dont know where I am doing this wrong

Query $findLikes = Comment::where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->where('product_id', $id)->first();

View @if((Auth::check()) && ($findLikes->likes == '1'))

<a href="/unlike-product/{{$p->id}}" id="myNumber" name="likes" value="0" onclick="myFunction()"> UnLike</a> 

@elseif((Auth::check()) && ($findLikes->likes == '0'))

<a href="/liked-product/{{$p->id}}" id="myNumber" name="likes" value="1" onclick="myFunction()"> Like it</a> 

Any help would be great

You better wrap your code with 3 ` so that it will be more readable.

If/when this expression returns null

 $findLikes = Comment::where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->where('product_id', $id)->first();

then the following expression will not work:

$findLikes->likes == '1'

You would need to check if there is a found comment (because the query returns a Comment) for the authenticated user and the current product:

@if((Auth::check()) && $findLike)
	@if ($findLikes->likes == '1') 
		// etc
	@elseif($findLikes->likes == '0')
		// etc
	@endif
@endif

@tykus I tried that now its not displaying anything. Is it because of the NULL passing ?

Level 104

It is not displaying anything, because there is nothing to display; the result of the Comment query is null.

Hey @asadsajjad. @tykus made a small typo.

@if((Auth::check()) && $findLike)

Should be:

@if((Auth::check()) && $findLikes) (with an "s" on the end).

fixed it. The error was in the view as it was not taking the value from following table. Thanks everyone.
