Laravel FORM::select not being displayed in webpage - forms

Question

when creating the register page I am trying to pass in an array from the database ('id' and 'name') into a select field box on the register form but it wont display anything, its really bazar, when I inspect it in the browser I can see the div container and all of the options correctly in proper fields but for some reason there is no select field (total not visible in the browser) lol, I tried it with hard coded values and values from db and nothing is getting the select field to work, any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

method lists() is deprecated, use pluck() instead.
to get your select do this:
In your controller first change lists() to pluck() (i hope you have laravel version 5.2+)
$organizationTypes = OrganizationType::pluck('name','id')->toArray();
and in view do this
{!! Form::select('role_id', $organizationTypes, null, ['class'=>'form-control'])!!}
update
OK you are using css template materialize and because of template you need to append right class for select box...this will work but probably needs some other classes too:
{!! Form::select('role_id', $organizationTypes, null, ['class' => 'browser-default', 'placeholder' => 'Choose Option'])!!}
{!! Form::label('role_id', 'Organization name') !!}
