Hide parent div if empty data

@Xron: I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but if you don't mind being extra explicit about it, you could throw another @if statement around it:

@if ( count($question->replies) > 0 )
    <div class="wrapper">
        @forelse ($question->replies as $reply)
            @if ($reply->answer_id == 1)
                <div class="header">
                    <h3><a href="#">{{ $reply->user->getNameOrUsername() }}</a></h3>
                </div>
            @endif
        @empty
        @endforelse
    </div>
@endif

I've used @if(!empty($thing)) also, but not sure if that applies here.

Hi thanks, I don't mind using another if statement but I need to make the new if statement include the answer_id == 1 is it possible to include that e.g. -

@if (count($question->replies->answer_id == 1) > 0)

I think I got lost here. Because you're specifically looking for the answer_id to be "1", won't you always only get one result? I guess I'm making an assumption that answer_id is an id field (primary key) on a table. ?

It's not a primary key multiple replies can have the answer_id set to 1 . This what confused me about the question

Put the logic in your question model so that you can

@if($question->hasreplies())
