Did you know about Forelse loop in Blade?

As a tradition of posting little things here on the blog, one more useful detail. What do you do when you need to show a loop in Blade with foreach, but the list might be empty? You probably write if-else statement around it, right? what-if-i-told-you There's a "magic" loop structure called forelse. Here's how it works. Instead of: 
@if ($users->count())
  @foreach ($users as $user)
    
This is user {{ $user->id }}

  @endforeach
@else
  
No users found.

@endif
You can use this: 
@forelse ($users as $user)
    
This is user {{ $user->id }}

@empty
    
No users found.

@endforelse
Nice, isn't it?
