I am working with Sage 9. In my controller, I have the following function which returns data from the API:
public static function get_compare_providers() {
global $bbn_api;
$selectedProviders = get_field('compare_providers');
$provider1 = $selectedProviders['compare_providers']['provider1_provider']['value'];
$provider2 = $selectedProviders['compare_providers']['provider2_provider']['value'];
$api_url = App::getAPIBaseURL() . '/Providers/compare?leftProviderID=' . $provider1 . '&rightProviderID=' . $provider2;
// var_dump($api_url);die();
$data = $bbn_api->generate_get($api_url);
var_dump($data);die();
return json_decode(json_encode($data), true);
}
When I do a var_dump, I see the entire dataset returned.
object(stdClass)[1892]
public 'LeftProviderName' => string 'someprovidername'...
I also have a blade that calls this function and it has the data as well.
I then map an array of shortcodes in my app\shortcodes.php file, which all other shortcodes work in this array.
However, the latest addition is returning Array -
‘GetCompareProviders’ => ‘partials/compare-v2/shortcodes/get-compare-providers’
Within the aforementioned file, is a simple call to the function within the controller:
{!! TemplateCompareV2::get_compare_providers() !!}
Within the wysiwyg, I use the following shortcode - [GetCompareProviders field=‘LeftProviderName’] - which returns ‘Array’
How do I just return the left provider name, which is the first element of the array that is returned by the shortcodes?
