Laravel 9: how to Access Properties on a Model After Using Route Model Binding
Can someone help me understand Quick question that's been bugging me - I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with an scenario with accessing properties on my model after implementing route model binding in my Laravel 9 application... I have defined a route that uses model binding like this: ```php // web.php Route::get('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'show']); ``` In my `PostController`, I receive the model instance directly: ```php // PostController.php public function show(Post $post) { return view('posts.show', compact('post')); } ``` In the `posts.show` view, I try to access the properties of the `$post` model like this: ```blade <h1>{{ $post->title }}</h1> <p>{{ $post->content }}</p> ``` However, I keep getting an behavior that says `Trying to get property 'title' of non-object`. I've checked if the post exists in the database, and I can confirm it does. I even tried dumping the `$post` variable in the controller using `dd($post);`, and it correctly shows the model's properties. I've also verified that my model is correctly set up with the properties `title` and `content`. In my `Post` model, I have: ```php // Post.php class Post extends Model { protected $fillable = ['title', 'content']; } ``` To troubleshoot, I added a type hint to ensure that the correct type was being passed through the route model binding: ```php // web.php Route::get('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'show'])->where('post', '[0-9]+'); ``` Still, the behavior continues when trying to display the post in the view. Is there something I'm missing? Could this be related to how Laravel is handling the request lifecycle? Any insights on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated! What's the best practice here? I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. How would you solve this? What would be the recommended way to handle this?
