jquery - Laravel5: How to get a DB value returned to an Ajax call. -

i'm new ajax , using laravel 5. trying pull db value , have display. however, not getting value in console log.

here ajax call:

$(function(){  $.ajax({ type:'get', url:'product_prices', success:function(price){     console.log('success',price) }  }); 

});

the url: 'product_prices' goes route:

route::get('product_prices', 'quotationcontroller@product_prices'); 

my controller calling db thus:

public function product_prices(){    $price = db::table('products')->select('price')->where('product_code','=', '123')->get();   json_encode($price);      } 

for testing purposes have hard coded $id of product. in production need able pass $id through url. function. don't know how either.

i know query works, if return $price correct value. poor ajax knowledge prevents me getting console.log or getting $id dynamically used.

many !

json_encode() doesn't print out itself

try

echo  json_encode($price); 

when in doubt can inspect full body response in browser dev tools network. or open url directly in browser
