Get collection in blade and check if empty

If I want to display the addresses of a user in a blade file I do it like this:



@if(!$user->addresses->isEmpty())
<ul>
@foreach ($user->addresses as $address)
<li >
{!! displayText($address->toString()) !!}
</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
@endif


If addresses would be an array instead of an collection I could shorten the code to:



@if(!empty($addresses = $user->addresses))
<ul>
@foreach ($addresses as $address)
<li >
{!! displayText($address->toString()) !!}
</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
@endif


I wonder if there is a better way to check if a collection is empty in a blade file.

          You don't need to check if your array is empty before using it in a foreach.



          But if you need to check if it is empty (to show a message, for example), you can use the @empty tag.



          I'd do something like this: (Check also @forelse):



          <ul>
          @forelse ($addresses as $address)
          <li >
          {!! displayText($address->toString()) !!}
          </li>
          @empty($addresses)
          <li> No addresses... </li>
          @endforelse
          </ul>
