Parsing Data using jsonParse

Question

My laravel controller is returning this data on the blade view using this command {{$employees}}

It gives me:

[{"id":"1","name":"june"},{"id":"2","name":"joan"}]

In my JavaScript:

<script>

var jsonData = $.parseJson('{{$employees}}');

alert(1);

</script>

But somehow it's throwing an error because the alert is not displaying.

Whats the workaround on these?

Why not just use var jsonData = {{$employees}};? I don't know anything about laravel, but that should just output your data as a JavaScript array of objects, ready to use, no parsing necessary... — Heretic Monkey

It is possible you need to use the tags that don't escape the data

{!! $employees !!}

instead of

{{ $employees }}

Is the example string that you supplied the exact string that's being output in the template. There could also be a ' in the content you are outputting which means it would end the string prematurely.

eg json = 'I can**'**t find the error';

The above would cause errors as the ' in the word can't would make it think the string ended

{!! $employees !!} did the trick. What happen is that " was escape.
