Model Eloquent & Displaying Data from Database

First, we need to create a Model in our project, Model will make a communication with database, create model using 'Artisan command' >>

php artisan make:model Blog

your model will be stored on App\Blog.php

Blog.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Blog extends Model
{
    protected $table ='blog_post';
}

"blog_post" is our table in database.

Next, in you Controller (BlogController) add Blog name spaces to declare our model. if you don't have BlogController.php, following the Part3 tutorial.

use App\Blog;

Next, add index function in our controller, we will fetch all data from database

BlogController.php

public function index()
    {
        // we will create index function
        // we need to show all data from "blog" table
        $blogs = Blog::all();
        // show data to our view
        return view('blog.index',['blogs' => $blogs]);        
    }

Next, create new folder (i create a 'blog' folder) and index file in our view. that index file will stored on resources\views\blog\index.blade.php

index.blade.php

<h1>My First Blog</h1>
@foreach ($blogs as $blog)
  <h2>{{ $blog->title }}</h2>
  <p>{{ $blog->description }}</p>
  <hr>
@endforeach

Now, try to access your project stored on : http://localhost:8080/blog , manual insert any data into your database before.
