how to update the status of a row in laravel? - php

Question

I'm trying to update the status of a row in my Funds table using a button.
Here is my controller:
public function changeStatus(Funds $funds)
{
if ($funds > status == false) {
$funds->status = true;
$funds->update(['status' => $funds->status]);
return redirect('funds,index')->with('success', 'Good Job, Fund mark is done!');
} else {
$funds->status = true;
$funds->update(['status' => $funds->status]);
return redirect('funds.index')->with('success', ' Fund is pending!');
}
}
then I created the route for FundsController#changeStatus:
Route::patch('transactions/{funds}/completed', 'FundsController#changeStatus');
The HTML code i used in the index.blade.php file
<div class="card-body">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="width: 10px">Account Number</th>
<th>Other Account Number</th>
<th>Remarks</th>
<th>acc_type</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($funds as $fund)
<tr>
<td> {{ $fund->accno }} </td>
<td>{{ $fund->accnumber }}</td>
<td> {{ $fund->Remarks }} </td>
<td>{{ $fund->acc_type }}</td>
<td>{{ $fund->status }}</td>
<td>
{!! Form::model($fund, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'route' => ['funds.changeStatus', $fund->id]]) !!}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">{{ $fund->status == false ? 'Marked Pending' : 'Marked complete' }}</button>
{!! Form::close() !!}
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
```
but I ended up with this error:
> Undefined property: stdClass::$slug (View: C:\Users\user pc\Desktop\dkn\resources\views\funds\index.blade.php)
Where did I go wrong and how can I update funds status using this method?

Answer 1

Oke you should first try to create a correct form.
First i would like to recommend you that you use named routes:
Route::patch('transactions/{funds}/completed', 'FundsController#changeStatus')->name('funds.changeStatus');
This will make it easier to get te correct route in your form.
Then the form should look something like this:
Form::model($fund, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'route' => ['funds.changeStatus', $fund->id]]);
If you want to use the slug (instead of the id):
Form::model($fund, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'route' => ['funds.changeStatus', $fund->slug]]);
When you want to use the slug, make sure to add the following method to your Funds model:
public function getRouteKeyName()
{
return 'slug';
}
Then in the controller:
public function changeStatus(Funds $funds)
{
if ($funds->status == false) {
$funds->update(['status' => true]);
return redirect('funds.index')->with('success', 'Good Job, Fund mark is done!');
} else {
$funds->update(['status' => false]);
return redirect('funds.index')->with('success', ' Fund is pending!');
}
}
OR
public function changeStatus(Funds $funds)
{
$funds->update(['status' => !$funds->status]);
if ($funds->status == true) {
return redirect('funds.index')->with('success', 'Good Job, Fund mark is done!');
} else {
return redirect('funds.index')->with('success', ' Fund is pending!');
}
}

Be sure your view address file is correct.
