Can anyone help me why I can't pass the json data on the text field? I got this error when I open my modal: Uncaught ReferenceError: data is not defined. Thanks so much! :)

    public function generateEmployeeId() {

        $number = getTotalEmployees();

        $employee_id = 'ACZ'. date("Y") . $number;

        echo json_encode (['employee_id' => $employee_id]);

    }

     

    public function getTotalEmployees() {

        $num = 1;

        ++$num;

       

        $len = strlen($num);

        for($i = $len; $i < 3; ++$i) {

            $num = '0' . $num;

        }

       

        return $num;

     }

Function to open modal and retrieve employee id

function modal_add_employee() {

    $('#modal_employee').modal('show');

    $('#data-submit--employee').html('Add Employee');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#staff_id')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_lastname')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_firstname')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_middlename')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_email')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_id')).val(data.employee_id);

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_contact')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_address')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_birthdate')).val('');

    $('#modal_employee').find($('#employee_gender')).val("Male");

}

My Answer:
Y-m-d') . '-' . str_pad($number + 1, 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);_ return $employee_id;_ }_ // Get total number of employees_ public function getTotalEmployees() {_ $employees = Employee::all();_ return $employees->count();_ }_ // Controller method to pass data to view_ public function showEmployeeForm() {_ $employee_id = generateEmployeeId();_ return view('employee_form', compact('employee_id'));_ }_

// View file employee_form.blade.php_    _    Open Modal_    
_        _
