I use the double question mark " ??" because I can set a default on null but that 4th method using the model is superb. Write one and use everywhere 💡

[VipStudio]

also you can do @ as well in front of variable like @$post->category->name you can try that.. i hope it would help.

today i accidentally deleted some users, and i forgot that they had some posts in db. i had this error today. and i don't remember how i fixed it. but i fixed it. i became lazy on this video, thought this would not help me. but nope.😂 you are just awesome. i will simply download your whole channel 😂

I love the 4th method. It's new to me and I no need to code that null safe operator again and again.

[stephanpaquet]

Did not know about default relation attribute .. wow thanks

[mukangangugi]

I knew 1st and 3rd.

I prefer the last one since you may have several places to query the model thus cebtralizing the logic in the model is easier. Then you may also have many fields to define defaults for.

Thankyou

Only knew the third one, has always been used it, but the 4th is amazing will try it in the future! Thank you very much

I learned alot as always, but I must admit that I would have used forelse and then empty

[pattespattes]

i did use the optional, but in the model it's look really convenient!

[DevduttaBain]

whoaaaa!!! 1-3 i've known... but 4th one is just awesome...

[brnetutorials]

I use to know the first 3 but not the last one.

The ternary also works but just makes the code long.

Eloquent is so great, didn't know just last one, its looks nice)

[muhammadsalman]

It is really helping I did not know these before.❤

[akpevweunuavworho]

nice learnt some new ways. For me i use the @ sign when working with blade files like so <li>{{ $post->title }} ({{ @$post->category->name }})</li>

[Maniac-]

No 4 is definitely the GOATed way to handle it

[cristianganzer]

I used to use the third option, but the second option is really interesting

[IlPandax]

Thanks! I didn't know the 4th. Great video! ;)

[SilverPaladin]

I see this at least once in every day lol haha!

bladestan extension for phpstan/larastan would prevent you from shipping this kind of error in the first place, if you run it on a high enough level
