Laravel Accessor Usage

Here’s how to use it step by step:

### 1. **Add the Accessor to Your Model**
Ensure that the `getFullNameAttribute` method is placed in your Eloquent model, such as `User`.

class User extends Model
{
    // Define the accessor
    public function getFullNameAttribute()
    {
        return ucwords("{$this->first_name} {$this->last_name}");
    }
}

### 2. **Access the `full_name` Attribute in Code**
You can use the `full_name` attribute wherever you have an instance of the model:

// Retrieve a user instance
$user = User::find(1);

// Access the virtual attribute
echo $user->full_name; // Outputs: Firstname Lastname

### 3. **Use in Blade Views**
When passing the model to a Blade view, you can directly access `full_name` as a property:

<h1>{{ $user->full_name }}</h1>

### 4. **Use in Eloquent Collections**
If you're fetching multiple users, you can access `full_name` for each user in the collection:

$users = User::all();

foreach ($users as $user) {
    echo $user->full_name . '<br>';
}

### 5. **Query with Additional Data**
If you want to include this accessor in a JSON response or API output, make sure your model's `$appends` property includes `full_name`:

class User extends Model
{
    protected $appends = ['full_name'];
}

Now, when you return the model as JSON, `full_name` will be included:

return User::find(1);
// Output:
// {
//     "id": 1,
//     "first_name": "John",
//     "last_name": "Doe",
//     "full_name": "John Doe"
// }

### Notes
– Make sure your model has `first_name` and `last_name` columns in its corresponding database table.
– This approach adheres to Laravel's principle of keeping business logic in the model, making your code cleaner and easier to maintain.

php artisan route:cache

However, if you've made changes to your routes and want to clear the existing cache before generating a new one, you can use:

php artisan route:clear

### Explanation
1. **`php artisan route:clear`**
– Clears the route cache completely.
– Use this command if you're experiencing issues with your routes not reflecting changes.

2. **`php artisan route:cache`**
– Recompiles the route cache after clearing it.
– Use this command to regenerate a fresh route cache after making updates.

### When to Use Route Cache
– Route caching is beneficial for optimizing performance in production.
– Only cache your routes when your application is in production, as it can cause issues during development if routes are updated frequently.

### Notes
– If you're clearing the cache during development, simply running `php artisan route:clear` is sufficient.
– Always run `php artisan route:cache` in production after clearing to ensure the cache is rebuilt.

undefinded key customer

Here’s how you can fix the issue:

### Updated Code:

<select class="form-control" name='customer' onchange="filterbycustomer(this.value)">
    <option value=''>{{ __("Filter by customer") }}</option>
    @foreach ($customers as $coach)
        <option value="{{ $coach->id }}" 
            {{ (request('customer') == $coach->id) ? 'selected' : '' }}>
            {{ $coach->first_name . ' ' . $coach->last_name }}
        </option>
    @endforeach
</select>

### Key Changes:
1. **Replaced `$_GET['customer']` with `request('customer')`:**
– The `request()` helper in Laravel fetches query parameters in a safe and Laravel-idiomatic way.
– If the `customer` parameter is not in the URL, it will return `null`.

2. **Added a Condition for `selected`:**
– The ternary operator checks if the current `coach->id` matches the `customer` query parameter.
– If matched, it adds the `selected` attribute to the “ tag.

### Explanation:
– **`request('customer')`:** This retrieves the `customer` query parameter from the URL (`?customer=…`).
– **`selected` Attribute:** Ensures that the appropriate customer is selected when the form is loaded.

### Example URL:
If your URL is like this:
`https://example.com?customer=3`
The option with `value="3"` will be pre-selected.

### Resulting HTML (Example):
If `$customers` contains:

[
    (object) ['id' => 1, 'first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Doe'],
    (object) ['id' => 3, 'first_name' => 'Jane', 'last_name' => 'Smith'],
]

And the URL is `https://example.com?customer=3`, the output will be:

<select class="form-control" name='customer' onchange="filterbycustomer(this.value)">
    <option value=''>Filter by customer</option>
    <option value="1">John Doe</option>
    <option value="3" selected>Jane Smith</option>
</select>
