Question 17234 in Laravel Question posted in
The official Laravel Documentation can be found here.

Foreign key is now null and when mapping through the data it say "Attempt to read property "$category_name" on null" – Laravel

I deleted a category which is an f-key of the items table. Now the view has an error saying ‘Attempt to read property "category_name" on null’. How do I render a null foreign key?

I tried if-else:

@if({{$item->category->category_name}} === 'null')
  <h2>no category</h2>
 @else
  {{ $item->category->category_name}}
@endif

    Try this:

    @if ($item->category)
    {{ $item->category->category_name }}
@else
    <h2>no category</h2>
@endif

    Or simply

    <h2>{{ $item->category?->category_name ?? 'no category' }}</h2>
