I am trying to display some data from my database that is dependent on some input from the user. I am using an ajax request to get the data, send it back to a function in my controller, and then export it back to my view. I would like to collect this data and display it without going to another view (I just hide the previous form and unhide the new form).
Here is the relevant code:
Javascript:
$('#submit_one').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if(! $(this).hasClass('faded')) {
var fbid = $("input[name='like']:checked").val();
//variable to be collected is fbid
request = $.ajax({
url: "http://crowdtest.dev:8888/fans/pick_favorite",
type: "post", success:function(data){},
data: {'fbid': fbid} ,beforeSend: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
to_welcome_two();
}
});
function to_welcome_two()
{
$('#welcome_one').addClass('hidden');
$('#welcome_two').removeClass('hidden');
}
Controller functions:
public function pick_favorite() {
$fbid=Input::get('fbid');
return Artist::specific_artist($fbid);
}
public function getWelcome() {
return View::make('fans.welcome')
->with('artists', Artist::artists_all())
->with('favorite_artist', Artist::favorite_artist())
->with('pick', FansController::pick_favorite());
}
Model function:
public static function specific_artist($fbid) {
$specific_artist = DB::table('artists')
->where('artists.fbid', '=', $fbid)
->get();
return $specific_artist;
}
The view is on the "welcome" page. My question is how do I display the model data in my view and make sure it is printing out the correct data from the fbid input?
I tried something like this:
@foreach($pick as $p)
<span class="artist_text">{{$p->stage_name}}</span>
<br>
<span class="artist_city">{{$p->city}}</span>
@endforeach
but this is not printing out anything. Any ideas?
