Am trying to display all the category in the database on single post blade, however, am also display five out the category in the database as my navigation menu. I am not sure maybe its the loop I am using as I keep getting five categories instead of all categories.
public function index()
{
return view('index')->with('title', Setting::first()->site_name)
->with('categories', Category::take(5)->get())
->with('first_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->first())
->with('second_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->skip(1)->take(1)->get()->first())
->with('third_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->skip(2)->take(1)->get()->first())
->with('wordpress', Category::find(4))
->with('laravel', Category::find(3))
->with('settings', Setting::first());
}
Here is the code for my single post controller
public function singlePost($slug)
{
$post = Post::where('slug', $slug)->first();
$next_id = Post::where('id', '>', $post->id)->min('id');
$prev_id = Post::where('id', '<', $post->id)->max('id');
return view('single')->with('post', $post)
->with('title', $post->title)
->with('settings', Setting::first())
->with('categories', Category::all())
->with('next', Post::find($next_id))
->with('prev', Post::find($prev_id))
->with('tags', Tag::all())
->with('first_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->first())
->with('second_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->skip(1)->take(1)->get()->first())
->with('third_post', Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->skip(2)->take(1)->get()->first());
}
This is how I passed the value in the single.blade.php
@foreach($categories as $category)
<div class="post-category-wrap">
<div class="category-post-item">
<!-- <span class="post-count">168</span> -->
<a href="{{route('category.single', ['id' => $category->slug])}}" class="category-title">{{$category->name}}
<i class="seoicon-right-arrow"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
@endforeach
