php - Trying to get property of non-object in controller -

this controller

public function show($restaurant_id) { $data = restaurant::find($restaurant_id)->waitingtimes(); echo $data->first()->value; exit;

i got trying property of non-object though waitingtime model mapped database table has value column.

could help please? also, tell me can read documentation returning type of function find() thanks

edit 1

the info not empty; can see database, , restaurant table has id 20 , table waitingtimes has values restaurant_20 20

actually - improve map route model.

so in routes.php file:

route::model('restaurant', 'restaurant'); route::get('/restaurant/{restaurant}', ['as' => 'restaurant.show', 'uses' => restaurantcontroller@show]);

then in controller file:

public function show(restaurant $restaurant) { echo $restaurant->waitingtimes()->first()->value; }

you can read more route model binding here.
