#endforeach
i dont know how to get consignee name in my index view any one suggest me idea

Answer 1

Instead of:
$expenses = \App\Expense::all();
you can use:
$expenses = \App\Expense::select('expenses.*','consignee.name')
->leftJoin('jobs','jobs.id','=','expenses.job_id')
->leftJoin('consignee','consignee.id','=','jobs.consignee_id')
->get();
This way you make join with 2 other tables and get name of Consignee.
