Can't get message from the database table. ErrorException say:count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

Question

MessageController.php

public function getMessages(){
    $messages = Message::all();

    return view('messages')->with('messages','$messages');
}

Routes/web.php

Route::get('/messages','MessagesController@getMessages');

messages.blade.php

@extends('layout.app')

@section('content')

    <h1>Messages</h1>

    @if(count($messages) > 0)
        @foreach($messages as $message)
            <ul class="list-group">
                <li class="list-group-item">Name: {‌{$message->name}}</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Email: {‌{$message->email}}</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Message: {‌{$message->message}}</li>
            </ul>
        @endforeach
    @endif

@endsection

Inside the layout folder / app.blade.php is my layout template blade.

The error message:

ErrorException (E_ERROR)

count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\basicwebsite\resources\views\messages.blade.php)

@Devon I don't think the OP realized the quotes. This isn't a duplicate per se — Paras, Oct 10 '18 at 21:08

The error is you are passing a string, not a variable

Replace with('messages','$messages') with with('messages', $messages). Notice the missing quotes in second argument.

Check out [Laravel Cashier](https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/billing) for subscription payments and possibly [Laravel Spark](https://spark.laravel.com) for SaaS projects. Cheers! – Paras Oct 10 '18 at 21:25
can also make the payment with paypal rather than stripe – Oct 10 '18 at 21:28
Yes, Braintree supports Paypal and Cashier supports Braintree – Paras Oct 10 '18 at 21:29
