I would like to assign json object to the jquery variable. But when i try it i get error:
htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given (View: /var/www/html/resources/views/index.blade.php)
What's the easy way to do this? Here is my code:
var data = {};
data = "{{$stationData}}";
In Laravel 5 and above it's:
data = {!! str_replace("'", "\'", json_encode($stationData)) !!};
in Laravel 4
data = {{{ str_replace("'", "\'", json_encode($stationData)) }}};
You need to escape this format twice. Otherwise can act strangly.
You could do this by json encoding the PHP variable within your JavaScript. This will only work with inline JavaScript code, like so:
<?php
$foo = 'bar';
?>
<script>
var foo = <?php echo json_encode($foo) ?>;
<script>
Another option to pass data from the backend to the front-end is by using AJAX. This SO answer explains how this is done with and without jQuery.
data = {{json_encode($stationData)}};
$stationData beeing an Eloquent object, you could do something like this:
var foo = {{$stationData->toJson()}}
or any of the other answers.
