Laravel eloquent relationship and view

Question

I'm trying to show a structure using as example the tables showed in this thread: Laravel Eloquent Filter By Column of Relationship

Using this I would like to show in one page (index.blade.php for example) something like this:

Category 1
    Post1.Category1
    Post2.Category1
Category 2
    Post1.Category2
    Post2.Category2
    Post3.Category2
    Post4.Category2
Category 3    
    Post1.Category3

I don't know what exactly which arrays to I need to pass from Controller.

I can get the list of Categories but how the post for each category???

Thanks

Any idea

You just need to pass in the Categories with their Posts. It's pretty straightforward.

Controller

$categories = Category::with('posts')->get();
return View::make('some.view')->with('categories', $categories);

View

@foreach($categories as $category)
    {{{ $category->name }}}
    @foreach($category->posts as $post)
        {{{ $post->name }}}.{{{ $category->name }}}
    @endforeach
@endforeach
