Laravel use array of controller to echo something in view

Question

I'm new to laravel and i'm stuck at this. So this code gives me all my results from my table

$categories = new Categories();
$categories = Categories::all();

In my view i got a foreach loop to get all the values from the table: categories. Like so:

@foreach($categories as $categories)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$categories->category_id}}</td>
        <td>{{ $categories->Description }}</td>
@endforeach

My question is, is there a way to print all the values seperate? So i can put an anchor before them? Do i have to put it in an array? My output must be something like this:

1----<a href="goGSM.php">GSM</a>
2----<a href="goGPS.php">GPS</a>

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you want to put all of the values separate? — IllegalPigeon

@foreach($categories as $categories) <tr> <td>{{$categories->category_id}}</td> <td>{{ $categories->Description }}</td> @endforeach So lets say i want to go to the page gsm? What do i do? — Wesley

@Wesley does your categories table contain a row for the link? So you could have $categories->category_url — IllegalPigeon

$categories = new Categories(); // for what this line???
$categories = Categories::all();



@foreach($categories as $category)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$category->id}}</td>
        <td> <a href="{{ yourFunctionThatGeneratesURL($category) }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td>
        // or as suggested in comments
        <td> <a href="{{ $category->urlToCategory }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td>
        // or you can use one of the laravel's url helpers
        <td> <a href="{{ route('category.show', ['id' => $category->id ]) }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td> 
        <td>{{ $category->Description }}</td>
@endforeach

more info about helpers you can find in [docs][1]

EDIT

if you have categories

category1
  id - 1
name - GSM

category2
  id - 2
name - GPS

with this code

@foreach($categories as $category)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$category->id}}</td>
        <td><a href="go{{$category->name}}.php">{{$category->name}}</a></td>
    </tr>
@endforeach

you'll get

<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td><a href="goGSM.php">GSM</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td><a href="goGPS.php">GPS</a></td>
</tr>

I'am using your last solution with the url helpers <td> <a href="{{ route('category.show', ['id' => $category->id ]) }}"> {{ $categories->name }} </a> </td> But get the error:Undefined property:

It's my fault, you should use $category variable instead of $categories inside your foreach loop

<td>{{ $category->category_id}}</td> <td><a href="{{ route('eindwerk.index', ['id' => $category->id ]) }}">{{ $category->name }}</a> </td> <td>{{ $category->Description}}</td> I still get no links/anchors?

A big thank you to everyone who helped me! This is the correct solution if you were wondering.

<td><a href="shop{{$category->Description}}">{{$category->Description}}</a></td>
