How to use "enum" values in select option in Laravel?

I have problem with build select in Laravel blade and use only two types values from database

I have column in my migraton:

$table->enum('contact_way', ['email', 'phone']);

I have to use it in my blade form to update, I use simple @if statement but it is not good 

<select class="form-control" name="contact_way">
    @if ($customer_event->contact_way === "email")
        <option value="email" selected>Kontakt e-mail</option>
        <option value="phone" >Kontakt telefoniczny</option>
    @else
        <option value="email" >Kontakt e-mail</option>
        <option value="phone" selected>Kontakt telefoniczny</option>
    @endif
</select>

I want to use foreach staement where I use this to things and check witch one is correct and this show like selected but I don't know how to do it

You shouldn't have to define your <option> twice. Give this a try:

<select class="form-control" name="contact_way">
    @foreach(["email" => "Kontakt e-mail", "phone" => "Kontakt telefoniczny"] AS $contactWay => $contactLabel)    
    <option value="{{ $contactWay }}" {{ old("contact_way", $customer_event->contact_way) == $contactWay ? "selected" : "" }}>{{ $contactLabel }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

This would generate your select with two options, each with a $contactWay for the value="" attribute and a $contactLabel for the actual HTML. Also, would default your selected value to whatever was input last, or the value from $customer_event->contact_way

In your model:

protected $contact_way = ['email', 'phone'];

now loop as 

@foreach($customer_event['contact_way']'as $contact)
        <option value="{{$contact}}" @if($contact == $customer_event->contact_way) "selected" @endif >{{ $contact}}</option>
@endforeach

There's many ways to do this, but look at your code. You rewrite the entire options just to change one word: selected.

Just write a condition to handle that word (using ternary operators):

<option value="email" <?= $customer_event->contact_way === 'email' ? 'selected' : '' ?>>Kontakt e-mail</option>
<option value="phone" <?= $customer_event->contact_way === 'phone' ? 'selected' : '' ?>>Kontakt telefoniczny</option>

I don't see any need for a foreach loop with only two elements, but you could create an array of options to loop through if you really wanted.
