Problem with inserting and updating main video in database in Laravel project - php

Question

I am working on a project for ads/properties in Laravel. I have gallery of multiple videos for each individual ad. I want to be able to select one of those videos with radio button and make it primary video for that ad (show that particular video next to ad). I have has many relationship between property and video and I am trying to insert id of video from videos table to main_video_id column in properties table and also when I change current video for new one to update that foreign key accordingly. I am having trouble to write that method in my controller. Any help is appreciated. Here are my tables and code.
properties (id, title, location, price, main_video_id)
videos (id, filename_video, model_id)
In videos table model_id column is foreign key that connects to properties table.
PropertyController.php
public function edit(Property $property, Request $request)
{
if (!($property->user_id == Auth::user()->id)) {
abort(404);
}
$category = $property->category;
foreach ($property->photos as $value) {
$photoarray[] = $value->filename;
};
empty($photoarray) ? $photo = '' : $photo = implode(",", $photoarray);
foreach ($property->videos as $value1) {
$videoArray[] = $value1->filename_video;
};
empty($videoArray) ? $video = '' : $video = implode(",", $videoArray);
$data = .... Here I am having trouble writing method!
return view('property.edit', compact(
'category',
'photo',
'property',
'video',
'data'
));
}
edit.blade.php
<form id="form" action="/property/{{$property->id}}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" id="hideninput" data-src="property/{{$property->id}}/gallery"value="{{old('video',$video)}}" name="video">
#if (old('video', $video))
#foreach (array_filter(explode(',',old('video', $video)), 'strlen') as $key =>$value)
<div id="{{'div_video_'.$key}}" class="col-md-3" style="padding: 15px;">
#foreach ($data as $key => $value)
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="{{ $value->video_id }}">Make main
#endforeach
<button data="{{$key}}" type="button" class="closebuttonvideo">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
<video id="{{'video_'.$key}}" data={{$value}} src="/storage/property/{{$property->id}}/gallery/{{$value}}" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" data-setup='{"inactivityTimeout": 0}' width="180" height="180">
</video>
</div>
#endforeach
#endif
Property.php
public function videos()
{
return $this->hasMany(Video::class, 'model_id');
}
Video.php
public function properties()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Property::class);
}

Instead of having main_video_id in the properties table, I would go with the following approach:
Add a column is_main_video to videos table and a composite unique constraint as below:
$table->boolean('is_main_video')->nullable()->default(null);
$table->unique(['model_id', 'is_main_video']);
The unique constraint ensures that there are no multiple main videos for a single property.
In Property.php
protected $appends = ['mainVideo'];
public function videos()
{
return $this->hasMany(Video::class, 'model_id');
}
public function getMainVideoAttribute()
{
return $this->videos->first(function($video) {
return $video->is_main_vide;
});
}
Now when you fetch properties, you'll automatically get the mainVideo and related videos as a result as show below:
array:4 [
"id" => 1
"name" => "property 1"
"mainVideo" => array:4 [
"id" => 2
"model_id" => 1
"is_main_video" => 1
"name" => "Video 2"
]
"videos" => array:2 [
0 => array:4 [
"id" => 1
"model_id" => 1
"is_main_video" => null
"name" => "Video 1"
]
1 => array:4 [
"id" => 2
"model_id" => 1
"is_main_video" => 1
"name" => "Video 2"
]
]
]
Hope it helps!
