Laravel Select Name and id of Model and use in SelectBox - forms

Question

This is my current Function in my Controller:
public function addProduct()
{
$categories = Category::all();
return view('admin.products.add')->with('categories', $categories);
}
I want to only select the columns "name" and "id" from the Category Model and assign them to the selectbox in my view like this:
<select>
<option value="ID">NAME</option>
</select>
How can I do this using the Form-Facade?

Answer 1

try with pluck method from the laravel Collection:
$categories = Category::all()->pluck('name', 'id');
and then in the view:
{!! Form::select('name', $categories) !!}

Answer 2

Try this generate all category
<select name="category" class="form-control">
#foreach($categories as $category)
<option value="{{ $category->id }}">{{ $category->name }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
And if you want to set particular category selected then do this
<select name="category" class="form-control">
#foreach($categories as $category)
<option value="{{ $category->id }}" <?php if($hotel->category_id == $category->id) { echo "selected";}?>>{{ $category->name }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>

Answer 3

You can use foreach here
In your blade view.
<select name = "category[]">
#foreach($categories as $category)
<option value = "{{$category->id}}">{{$category->youValueHere}}></option>
#endforeach
</select>

Answer 4

Lists was deprecated in L5.2 and removed on L5.3
Try this, simple & neat.
$categories = Category::lists('name', 'id');
{!! Form::select('categories[]', $categories, null, [
'class' => 'form-control', 'multiple'
]) !!}
