Nesting if statement inside foreach loop using Blade

I'm new to Laravel blade and trying to nest an if statement inside a foreach loop. I want to show a different link depending on whether a field in my table equals Submitted. I have written the following code in my view:

         @foreach($plans as $plan)
            <tr>
                <td> {{$plan->id}}</td>
                {{-- If the Plan Submission has been submitted, the link should bring the user to the Show function which is view only.  Cannot have user editing Plan Submission after it has been submitted. --}}
                @if ({{$plan->status}}=='Submitted')
                    <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/show">Click Here</a></td>
                @else    
                    <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/edit">Click Here</a></td>
                @endif

I am getting this error: syntax error 

unexpected '<'

This should work...

@foreach($plans as $plan)
    <tr>
        <td>{{ $plan->id }}</td>
        @if ($plan->status === 'Submitted')
            <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{ $plan->id }}/show">Click Here</a></td>
        @else
            <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/edit">Click Here</a></td>
        @endif
    </tr>
@endforeach

The error is due to a syntax error.

{{$plan->status}}=='Submitted'

Inside if, you don't need to use {{}} as you are already writing PHP script using inline @if. We used {{ }} when we want to print a PHP variable within the HTML. You can read about Laravel blade for more details.

Solution

Just replace {{$plan->status}}=='Submitted' with $plan->status == 'Submitted'.

Another way to implement the same just by using inline if statement.

@foreach($plans as $plan)
    @php 
        $url = "/basicinfo/{$plan->id}/";
        $url .= strtolower($plan->status) =='submitted' ? 'show' : 'edit';
    @endphp
    <tr>
        <td> {{$plan->id}}</td>
        <td><a href={{$url}}>Click Here</a></td>
    </tr>
@endforeach;

NOTE: I've used strtolower() php function for better comparison.

Try this

@foreach($plans as $plan)
        <tr>
            <td> {{$plan->id}}</td>

                <td>
                   <a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/@if($plan->id=='submitted') show 
                     @else edit @endif">
                      Click Here
                    </a>
                </td>
          </tr>
@endforeach

Change to:

     @foreach($plans as $plan)
        <tr>
            <td> {{$plan->id}}</td>
            {{-- If the Plan Submission has been submitted, the link should bring the user to the Show function which is view only.  Cannot have user editing Plan Submission after it has been submitted. --}}
            @if ($plan->status == 'Submitted')
                <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/show">Click Here</a></td>
            @else    
                <td><a href="/basicinfo/{{$plan->id}}/edit">Click Here</a></td>
            @endif

It was @if ({{$plan->status}}=='Submitted')

No need for the {{ }} inside the if statement :)

So the change in total was: @if ({{$plan->status}}=='Submitted') to @if ($plan->status == 'Submitted')
