Laravel: get() returning array? -

i have simple eloquent query:

$comments = comment::where('approved',1)->orderby('created_at','desc')->get();  return view('comments.approved', compact('comments')); 

i trying access data in view using following syntax

@foreach($comments $comment)  {{ $comment->content }}  @endforeach 

i getting following error

trying property of non-object (view: ... 

i able resolve problem either of these

{{ @$comment->content }} or {{ $comment['content'] }} 

however, fail understand why get() returning array instead of collection. isn't get() suppose return collection of objects?

php compact() this, according http://php.net/manual/en/function.compact.php

creates array containing variables , values.  

so you're changing array pass view. try without using compact() , see if response you're expecting.

return view('comments.approved', ['comments' => $comments]);
