Laravel array result set - Use of undefined constant name

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.2 and returning an array result set to my view by using the following

return view('home')->with('devices', $devices)

I've attempted to loop through my array data by using the following in blade

@foreach($devices as $device)
    {{ $device[name] }} has
    {{ $device[views] }}
@endforeach

Using $device[name] throws Use of undefined constant name - assumed 'name'

I've also tried looping through the result like this

@foreach($devices as $device)
    {{ $device->name }} has
    {{ $device->views }}
@endforeach

Array keys should be quoted. There are exceptions, but this isn't one of them. — aynber

@AlexeyMezenin In that example we both used the word has? Although the mark up is different.... — archvist

You are sending it like constant not as string. Replace it like this:

@foreach($devices as $device)
    {{ $device['name'] }}
    {{ $device['views'] }}
@endforeach

I get the same result twice even though I use both keys as a string "name" & "views"

Try printing devices array like this: {!! dd($devices) !!} and print result here.
