There is one div inside which foreach works for me. Before this div I do a check
@if($events)
<div class="card mb-5">
....
If true, then show the block, if false, do not show. But the block is still visible, it returns me an empty collection. How to fix it?
public function index($id) {
$user = User::find($id);
$events = $user->events()->orderBy('eventdata', 'desc')->limit(3)->get();
Because you are using get() method it always returns Collection of items but sometimes empty. I think you are checking whether $events collection is empty or not. So, you have to use $events->count() inside if
@if($events->count())
<div class="card mb-5">
....
@forelse($events as $event)
<div class="card mb-5">
....
@empty
Do something if there is no event
...
@endforelse
@forelse checks if $events variable empty or not. If it is empty then @empty block will be rendered else @forelse block will be rendered. @forelse is like a combination of @foreach @if and @else directives
