I have seen people write @ symbol before a varible in blade templates and even in controller:
@php
$words = explode(" ", $beneficiary->name);
$acronym = "";
$acronym .= @$words[0][0] . @$words[1][0];
@endphp
and then:
<h5 class="card-title mb-1 thumb">{{ $acronym }}</h5>
Can someone explain what is it for?
