How to pass on form data in route with other variables? - php

Question

I have this form
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8 offset-2">
<form class="form-signin" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-label-group mt-1">
<label class="text-dark-orange" for="name">Naam</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="form-control sentje-inputfield-payment" placeholder="Vul hier uw naam in" required>
</div>
<div class="form-label-group mt-1">
<label class="text-dark-orange" for="note">Notitie</label>
<textarea type="text" id="note" name="note" class="form-control sentje-inputfield-payment" placeholder="Vul hier eventueel een notitie in"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mt-5">
<div class="col-lg-8 offset-2">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-block btn-lg sentje-button">Betalen</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
When I click the button it sends the $paymentrequest with it. (I already sent that parameter to the view) How would I also pass on the data that has been putted in the form?

Answer 1

Give your form an ID and make the action that of the <a> URL:
<form action="{{ route('paymentrequest.preparePayment', [$paymentrequest->unique_link, $paymentrequest]) }}" id="my-form" class="form-signin" method="POST">
Change your <a> to just button with the type="submit" and a form="<form-id>"
<button type="submit" form="my-form" class="btn btn-block btn-lg sentje-button">Betalen</button>
Using the form property allows you to close your form tag and keep the button outside and allows you to still submit it and keep your code neater.
