Right now I'm trying to check when the view receives an empty array.
@if(! empty($array))
// Section content goes here...
@foreach($array as $value)
// All table data goes here...
@endforeach
@endif
The code as it is above seems to still run when the $array is empty and causes an exception.
When I try to dump the array with {{ dd($array) }} I get $array = [].
Sounds like you might be having a collection. You could simply do count($array) to check amount of records in the array. It would look something like this:
@if(count($array))
// Section content goes here...
@foreach($array as $value)
// All table data goes here...
@endforeach
@endif
The section should now be hidden. If you wish to only skip the foreach when there is nothing in the array you could do this:
// Section content goes here...
@forelse($array as $value)
// All table data goes here...
@empty
// Optional message if it's empty
@endforelse
Which would output the section content and check if the array has any values before it foreach it.
You can read more about loops within blade files in the Laravel documentation.
Is it possible your array is a collection?
Try using a @forelse, this will check if the array or collection is empty and display another block instead. For example:
@forelse($array as $value)
{{ $value }}
@empty
array is empty
@endforelse
