Get username from ID

I have a blade template in a Laravel 5.5 app that is returning a user ID integer

I am looking for a way to get the users name from that value within the blade template

The value is just saved in the table and there is no relationship setup, is there a way to get the username without having to set up a relationship?

** UPDATE **

My products controller looks like this...

public function index()
{

    $users = User::all();

    $products= Product::all();

    return view('products.index',compact('products', 'users'));     
}

So now I have the users available inside the blade template but now I need to get the user from the id that is contained in produts

In your controller that's passing the user data to the view, you can either pass the entire $user object and print it in your view like {{ $user->name }} or set yourself a variable that holds just the username and pass that in for however you're using it.

I would do the first one though, something like:

public function index()
{
    $user = User::where('id',$id)->firstOrFail();
    return view('dashboard.index', compact('user'));
}

Or if you're getting all users from the database, an example would be:

public function index()
{
    $users = User::all();
    return view('dashboard.index', compact('users'));
}

Then in your view you can do

@foreach($users as $user)
    {{ $user->name }}
@endforeach

Edit

Since seeing your updated question, you would benefit from making a relationship between your users and your products. So, you would say that a user has many products and that a product belongs to a user.

class User extends Model
{
    /**
     * Get all of the products for the user.
     */
    public function products()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Product');
    }
}

And then

class Product extends Model
{
    /**
     * Get the user that is assigned to the product
     */
    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
    }
}

Once you have set this up, you can loop through your products and get the username like this:

@foreach($products as $product)
    {{ $product->user->name }}
@endforeach

Auth::user()->name if user is online. if not you must have controller function like:

$users = User::all();

and in blade 

@foerach($users as $user)
{{$user->name}}
@endforeach

Create helper file: follow this rule to make it : https://laravel-news.com/creating-helpers

and make one function like this: 

function getUsername($uerId) {
 return \DB::table('users')->where('user_id', $userId)->first()->name;
}

and call this function from your view like this : 

 {{getUsername($id))}} //it will print user name;
