Laravel 5.5 How to use Foreach loop in LaravelCollective Forms

I want to to use foreach loop in select form. But I dont figure out how can I do that.

I searched about it in here, in other questions and found lists method. But when I tried it retuns me "Call to undefined method App\Category::lists()" error. 

{{ Form::select('categories',

"foreach loop" for bringing categories

) }}

Any advice ?

As discribed in the Laravel Recipes :

If you use this :

{{ Form::select('age', ['Under 18', '19 to 30', 'Over 30']) }}

You will get this output :

<select name="age">
  <option value="0">Under 18</option>
  <option value="1">19 to 30</option>
  <option value="2">Over 30</option>
</select>

So in your case you can use it like this :

{{ Form::select('categories', $categories->pluck('name')) }}

If you want to addthe id of the category as value of the option you can do it like this :

In the controller :

$categories = [''=>''] + Category::lists('name', 'id')->all();
return view('back.create')->withCategories($categories);

And in the view :

{{ Form::select('categories', $categories) }}
