[javascript] laravel-5 passing variable to JavaScript

is there any ways that JavaScript can get the variable from compact controller Laravel-5.

Example: I have the code below:

   $langs = Language::all();
   return View::make('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.index',compact('langs'));

Can I get this langs and pass it to JavaScript? I already used PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer. But when I use JavaScript::put for two functions in the controller. It didn't work. Any help?

This is my code by using PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer:

LanguageController: This is my create and edit function :

public function create()
       {
          $names = $this->initLang();
          Javascript::put([
            'langs' => $names
            ]);

            return View::make('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.create',compact('names'));
    }
     public function edit($id)
     {
        //
          $lang = Language::findOrFail($id);
          $names = $this->initLang();
          Javascript::put([
            'langs' => $names
            ]);


           return View::make('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.edit', compact('lang'));
           // return View::make('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.edit');

    }

this is my View create:

 @extends('AdLayout')
     @section('content')
   <  script type="text/javascript">
      var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
      app.controller('langCtrl', function($scope) {

The idea is: I have a table language in mysql. I want to show the dropdown list with multiple attributes to choose, and I also want to search with angularjs as well. That's why I want to pass the variable from the controller to JavaScript. Additionally, I have the function inside LanguageController called initLang to check if any language is exist inside the database, it isn't displayed inside the dropdown list in create the view.

The answer is


Try this - https://github.com/laracasts/PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer Is simple way to append PHP variables to Javascript.


Standard PHP objects

The best way to provide PHP variables to JavaScript is json_encode. When using Blade you can do it like following:

<script>
    var bool = {!! json_encode($bool) !!};
    var int = {!! json_encode($int) !!};
    /* ... */
    var array = {!! json_encode($array_without_keys) !!};
    var object = {!! json_encode($array_with_keys) !!};
    var object = {!! json_encode($stdClass) !!};
</script>

There is also a Blade directive for decoding to JSON. I'm not sure since which version of Laravel but in 5.5 it is available. Use it like following:

<script>
    var array = @json($array);
</script>

Jsonable's

When using Laravel objects e.g. Collection or Model you should use the ->toJson() method. All those classes that implements the \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Jsonable interface supports this method call. The call returns automatically JSON.

<script>
    var collection = {!! $collection->toJson() !!};
    var model = {!! $model->toJson() !!};
</script>

When using Model class you can define the $hidden property inside the class and those will be filtered in JSON. The $hidden property, as its name describs, hides sensitive content. So this mechanism is the best for me. Do it like following:

class User extends Model
{
    /* ... */

    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'ip_address' /* , ... */
    ];

    /* ... */
}

And somewhere in your view

<script>
    var user = {!! $user->toJson() !!};
</script>

One working example for me.

Controller:

public function tableView()
{
    $sites = Site::all();
    return view('main.table', compact('sites'));
}

View:

<script>    
    var sites = {!! json_encode($sites->toArray()) !!};
</script>

To prevent malicious / unintended behaviour, you can use JSON_HEX_TAG as suggested by Jon in the comment that links to this SO answer

<script>    
    var sites = {!! json_encode($sites->toArray(), JSON_HEX_TAG) !!};
</script>

$langs = Language::all()->toArray();
return View::make('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.index', [
    'langs' => $langs
]);

then in view

<script type="text/javascript">
    var langs = {{json_encode($langs)}};
    console.log(langs);
</script>

Its not pretty tho


The best way for me was to put it in a hidden div in php blade

<div hidden id="token">{{$token}}</div>

then call it in javascript as a constant to avoid undefined var errors

const token = document.querySelector('div[id=token]').textContent

// console.log(token)

Let's say you have a collection named $services that you are passing to the view.

If you need a JS array with the names, you can iterate over this as follows:

<script>
    const myServices = [];
    @foreach ($services as $service)
        myServices.push('{{ $service->name }}');
    @endforeach
</script>

Note: If the string has special characters (like รณ or HTML code), you can use {!! $service->name !!}.

If you need an array of objects (with all of the attributes), you can use:

<script>
  const myServices = @json($services);
  // ...
</script>

Note: This blade directive @json is not available for old Laravel versions. You can achieve the same result using json_encode as described in other answers.


Sometimes you don't need to pass a complete collection to the view, and just an array with 1 attribute. If that's your case, you better use $services = Service::pluck('name'); in your Controller.


Is very easy, I use this code:

Controller:

$langs = Language::all()->toArray();
return view('NAATIMockTest.Admin.Language.index', compact('langs'));

View:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var langs = <?php echo json_decode($langs); ?>;
    console.log(langs);
</script>

hope it has been helpful, regards!
