I have the following controller which loads a view that contains a component along with the data fetched from database, the view shows up $data correctly, the issue I’m having is the data I’m passing from the view to component is not showing up giving me the error "Undefined variable $data". Please can anyone suggest me a solution.

TransactionController

class TransactionController extends Controller
{

  public function index(){

      $data = TransactionType::all();
      return view('addtransaction', ['data' => $data]);

  }   

    
}

AddTransaction.blade.php (This is the view)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html data-theme="light">
    <head>
        <title>Transactions</title>

    <body>
        <main class="container">

          <x-add-transaction :data="$data"></x-add-transaction>

           
            
        </main>
    </body>
</html>

add-transaction.blade.php (This is the component)

My AddTransaction Component class

<?php

namespace AppViewComponents;

use Closure;
use IlluminateContractsViewView;
use IlluminateViewComponent;

class AddTransaction extends Component
{
    /**
     * Create a new component instance.
     */

     public $data;
    public function __construct($data)
    {

       $this->data = $data;
    }

    /**
     * Get the view / contents that represent the component.
     */
    public function render(): View|Closure|string
    {
        return view('components.add-transaction');
    }
}

    The solution I found was "data is a reserved keyword, which is why this doesn't works for you." by driesvints (https://github.com/driesvints)


  2. When creating a component with php artisan make:component AddTransaction it will create the blade file and a component class in app/View/Components which looks like this:

    <?php
    
    namespace AppViewComponents;
    
    use Closure;
    use IlluminateContractsViewView;
    use IlluminateViewComponent;
    
    class AddTransaction extends Component
    {
        /**
         * Create a new component instance.
         */
        public function __construct()
        {
            //
        }
    
        /**
         * Get the view / contents that represent the component.
         */
        public function render(): View|Closure|string
        {
            return view('components.add-transaction');
        }
    }
    

    To be able to pass data into the component, you have to add this to your __construct() function:

    public function __construct(
        public string $data
    ) 
    {
        //
    }
    

    Make sure to adjust the type of the variable.
    If you’re unsure about the type you can just leave it out.

    I hope this helps. 🙂
