Laravel - Introduce trix field in Model - php

Question

How do I introduce a trix field inside of an existing model? For example, the model has a title, a subtitle, and a paragraph, which I want to be filled with trix. Until now I had a different model for the trix text.
class Text_box extends Model{
protected $table = 'TextBox';
protected $fillable = [
'id', 'pages_id','title','subtitle','text'
];}
I want text to be a trix field.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/textbox/{{$page->id}}">
#csrf
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="titlu" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">Titlu</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="titlu" type="text" min="0" class="form-control" name="titlu" required autocomplete="titlu" placeholder="*optional*">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="autor" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">Autor</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="autor" type="text" min="0" class="form-control" name="autor" required autocomplete="autor" placeholder="*optional*">
</div>
</div>
<div style = "height: 50px;"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg">
<input id="tb" type="hidden" name="textbox">
<trix-editor input="tb"></trix-editor>
</div>
</div>
<div style = "height: 30px;"></div>
<div class="form-group row">
<div class="col-sm">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary col-sm-2 float-right">
{{ __('Submit') }}
</button>
</div>
</div>
This is my form.
public function add_textbox(Request $request, $id)
{
$trix = request()->input('textbox');
return $trix;
$textbox = Text_box::create([
'title' => $request['titlu'],
'subtitle' => $request['autor'],
'text' => $trix['text'],
'pages_id' => $id
]);
$page = Pages::where('id',$id)->first();
$w = json_decode($page->widgets,true);
if($w)
array_push($w,['textbox',$textbox->id]);
else
$w[] = ['textbox',$textbox->id];
$page->widgets = json_encode($w);
$page->save();
return redirect('/edit/'.$id);
}
This is my controller.
The $trix var is empty.

when you have it in a form like this
<form …>
<input id="x" type="hidden" name="content">
<trix-editor input="x"></trix-editor>
</form>
you can get the value in the controller like this
$text = request()->input('content');
// and then save it into db
Text_box::create([
//your other fields
'text' => $text,
]);
