How can i update category dropdown menu in laravel [closed]

Answer 1

First of all from a best practive standpoint, dont communicate with the data layer from a view. Pass the data to a view using the controller.

For you problem: Fix the if statement, you're trying to echo the condition.

 <select class="form-control form-control-alternative" name="category">
  <option selected value="{{$category->id}}">{{$category->name}}</option>
  @foreach($$categories as $cat)
      @if($cat->id !== $category->id)
          <option value="{{$cat->id}}">{{$cat->name}}</option>
      @endif
  @endforeach
</select>

invoke function of my controller

public function __invoke(Category $category)
{
    $categories = Category::all();
    return view('machine.edit', compact('category', 'categories'));
}
