Controller
$new_products = Product::with('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
return view('site/home', compact('new_products'));
View
{{ $new_product->images[0]->image_name }}
This gives me error undefined offset 0. How do i print the values of images?
values returned on dd($new_products)
If you want to get the first item, you can use the first method.
{{ $new_product->images->first()->image_name }}
You also have the offsetGet method to get an item at a given offset.
{{ $new_product->images->offsetGet(0)->image_name }}
You can also loop through the collection though and do this:
@foreach ($new_product->images as $image)
{{ $image->image_name }}
@endforeach
Note: The first two method will only work if your products have images. If they don't, then Laravel will return an empty collection. The third method of looping through the collection will work in all cases.
If you want to make sure that products have images, you can use the has method.
$new_products = Product::with('images')->has('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
This will only return products that have at least one image.

Trying to get property of non-object and the second one gives undefined offset 0
with method doesn't guarantee that the products have images. It can return an empty collection.has method. $new_products = Product::with('images')->has('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get(); I edited the post with this information. :)From the out it appears that $new_product is also an array of two items,
{{ $new_product[0]->images[0]->image_name }}
Edit: Thomas Kim has a better answer
Your relation (images) is a collection object, if you all() method on that then you'll get the underlying array so then you can access any item from array using the index:
{{ $new_product->images->all()[0]->image_name }}
Also toArray() method will work:
{{ $new_product->images->toArray()[0]['image_name'] }}
So, either pass the array to your view like $new_product->all() or loop it. You may check the documentation here for more information about Collection object in Laravel.
toArray() but all() should work as it is in the example, anyways.
