How do I basically pass a PHP array into a JS array - Laravel 5?

Question

I have a PHP array dd($iperfProfiles);

array:1 [▼
  0 => "ipv6-udp-upload"
]

Trying to access it in JS

I've tried

var iperfProfiles = "{{ json_encode($iperfProfiles) }}";
console.log(iperfProfiles);
return false;

I get

IPERF:1699 [&quot;ipv6-udp-upload&quot;]

How do I basically turn a PHP array into a JS array ?

You have to print it without escaping the output, by using var iperfProfiles = {!! json_encode($iperfProfiles) !!}; - There's also a JSON blade directive var iperfProfiles = @json($iperfProfiles); which is probably your best bet. — Qirel

var iperfProfiles = {!! json_encode($iperfProfiles) !!}; no quotes. — Bulent

//in PHP 
$iperfProfiles = json_encode($iperfProfiles);

//and then in JS
var iperfProfiles = JSON.parse({!!$iperfProfiles!!});

just use @json blade directive and pass raw php data to it without encoding it JSON.

in blade template:

const profiles = "@json($profiles)"

try with just removing quotes

var iperfProfiles = {{ json_encode($iperfProfiles) }};
console.log(iperfProfiles);
