Laravel Simple Selectbox

// Many of you may know this already, but for those who don't this is really handy for building dropdowns // Suppose you want to show a categories dropdown whose information is pulled from an Eloquent model // You can use the query builder's "lists" method (available for Eloquent as any query builder method) which // returns an associative array you can pass to the Form::select method $categories = Category::lists('title', 'id'); // note that the parameters you pass to lists correspond to the columns for the value and id, respectively // in this case, "title" and "id" // you should pass this data to your view and then build the dropdown inside it //somewhere in your view {{ Form::select('category', $categories) }}
