Laravel use array of controller to echo something in view

Question

I'm new to laravel and i'm stuck at this. So this code gives me all my results from my table

$categories = new Categories();
$categories = Categories::all();

In my view i got a foreach loop to get all the values from the table: categories. Like so:

@foreach($categories as $categories)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$categories->category_id}}</td>
        <td>{{ $categories->Description }}</td>
@endforeach

My question is, is there a way to print all the values seperate? So i can put an anchor before them? Do i have to put it in an array? My output must be something like this:

1----<a href="goGSM.php">GSM</a>
2----<a href="goGPS.php">GPS</a>

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

A big thank you to everyone who helped me! This is the correct solution if you were wondering.

<td><a href="shop{{$category->Description}}">{{$category->Description}}</a></td>

Answer 2

$categories = new Categories(); // for what this line???
$categories = Categories::all();



@foreach($categories as $category)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$category->id}}</td>
        <td> <a href="{{ yourFunctionThatGeneratesURL($category) }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td>
        // or as suggested in comments
        <td> <a href="{{ $category->urlToCategory }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td>
        // or you can use one of the laravel's url helpers
        <td> <a href="{{ route('category.show', ['id' => $category->id ]) }}"> {{ $category->name }} </a> </td> 
        <td>{{ $category->Description }}</td>
@endforeach

more info about helpers you can find in [docs][1]

EDIT

if you have categories

category1
  id - 1
name - GSM

category2
  id - 2
name - GPS

with this code

@foreach($categories as $category)
    <tr>
        <td>{{$category->id}}</td>
        <td><a href="go{{$category->name}}.php">{{$category->name}}</a></td>
    </tr>
@endforeach

you'll get

<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td><a href="goGSM.php">GSM</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td><a href="goGPS.php">GPS</a></td>
</tr>
