How can I hide a block in Laravel?

Question

Laravel

There is one div inside which foreach works for me. Before this div I do a check

@if($events)
     <div class="card mb-5">
     ....

like if true then show the block, if false then don't show it. But the block is still visible, returns me an empty collection. How to fix it?

public function index($id) {
        $user = User::find($id);
        $events = $user->events()->orderBy('eventdata', 'desc')->limit(3)->get();

Answer 1

@if($events->count() > 0)
<div>....

Answer 2

@if ($events->isNotEmpty())
 div
@endif

Answer 3

Because $events is probably just a collection.
A collection is an object.
Therefore, you need to use collection methods to check if it is empty or not: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/collections#method-is...
