Laravel 5.4 "format" model output

[Joveice]

Hello, so I'm quite new to laravel and I have just made my page display stuff from the database. It's displaying all my server pool sizes in bytes, how can I reformat them? (when I used normal php I used a function I still have to take the value and format it)

 

I have tryed to search how to use functions in views but people said thats not the way to do it.

 

How do you do this?

I am not familiar with blade because I always use twig as my templating engine. You may be searching for a filter right?

Anyway, I am not completely sure what you are asking.

 

If I understand it right:

/* Gather your model */

$users = App\User::all();

foreach($users as $user){
   /*Do Your Stuff here*/
}

 

If it's just displaying your results use a filter in blade (I think they exist in blade). If you want to format your result from the DB for usage in you app, you can use a Model Access Mutator. Check the Laravel Documentation for that.

If you just want to format say like the name (column: name) you can use an access Mutator on your Model

/* in App\User */

public function getNameAttribute($name){
    return 'Name: '.$name;
}

/* now when you access the name */
$user = App\User::find(1);

echo user->name;
/* will output: Name: YourUserName */
