Laravel 5.5 load only the data for the currently logged in user - laravel-5.5

Question

Hi I am new to laravel but I would like to load all the bookings for the currently logged in user.
I have tried doing this
//check if user is logged in
if ($user = Auth::user()) {
//get only the bookings for the currently logged in user
$allProducts =Booking::where('client', Auth::user()->name)->where('name', $name)->first();
//store the bookings in a products variable
$products = json_decode(json_encode($allProducts));
//Loop through the products:
foreach ($products as $key => $val) {
//get the name of the service by matching it's id in the service model to the service column in the products
$service_name = Service::where(['id' => $val->service])->first();
//get the charge amount of the service by matching it's id in the Charge model to the charge column in the products
$service_fee = Charge::where(['id' => $val->charge])->first();
//get the status of the service by matching it's id in the status model to the status column in the products
$service_status = Status::where(['id' => $val->status])->first();
$products[$key]->service_name = $service_name->name;
$products[$key]->service_fee = $service_fee->total;
$products[$key]->service_status = $service_status->name;
}
return view('client.booking.view_bookings')->with(compact('products'));
}
return view('/login');
}
But that is giving me an error: Undefined variable: name on the line
$allProducts =Booking::where('client', Auth::user()->name)->where('name', $name)->first();
What could I be doing wrong? and how can I solve it to dsplay only the required data

Answer 1

I have tried to understand what you are doing without success but from your explanations in the comments, I think I know what you want to do.
Since you said that this code works well for you except that it gives you the results of all the data in the database irrespective of the logged in user
$allProducts = Booking::get();
it is because that creates a query that selects all the data in the database.
Whatv you need is to add a where clause to your statement. to do that simply add this to the above line of code
where('client', Auth::user()->name)
it will return only the data that that contains the client column equal to the name of the currently logged in user.
Therefore the entire line of code becomes;
$allProducts = Booking::get()->where('client', Auth::user()->name);
Alternatively you could use filters
