Laravel-5 how to populate select box from database with id value and name value

Answer 1

Laravel use array for Form::select. So I passed array like below:

$datas = Items::lists('name', 'id');
$items = array();

foreach ($datas as $data)
{
    $items[$data->id] = $data->name;
}

return \View::make('your view', compact('items',$items));

In your view:

    {!! Form::label('item', 'Item:') !!}
    {!! Form::select('item_id', $items, null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
