Greetings everyone,
Why is that my view.blade page instead of displaying the ip adress it displays text: menu_controller ? in my view blade i call the controller function with this code: {{ menu_controller::class, 'get_ip'}}
In my menu_controller i got this code in function: public function get_ip(Request $request) { $clientIP = $request->ip(); dd($clientIP); return 'dd'; }
Can anyone drive me through this logical error i made please ?
Thx !
This...
{{ menu_controller::class, 'get_ip'}}
... is not how Controllers are used. You are seeing menu_controller because that is the result of menu_controller::class.
Whatever Controller action is returning the view should pass the data needed by that view template.
@tykus in my controller i defined this function:
public function get_ip(Request $request)
{
$clientIP = $request->ip();
dd($clientIP);
return 'dd';
}
isnt suppose to return me that variable ?
@a2v86 not if you try to call the function like this:
{{ menu_controller::class, 'get_ip'}}
Even if that code did work; a controller action is intended to handle a Request, and return a Response; not to arbitrarily fetch some data like this. Why do you not get the data in whatever Controller action you return the view?
@tykus something like this ?
public function get_ip(Request $request) { $clientIP = $request->ip(); dd($clientIP); return view("ip_adress", ["ip"=>$dd]); }
@a2v86 no.
You're not understanding me. Why don't you just do this in the existing view, and forget the get_ip controller action completely!
{{ request()->ip() }}
@tykus just perfect bro ,just perfect
