Laravel validation blade syntax - php

Question

I have a dropdown like this
How could i sent the option selected on dropdown into database? I need blade syntax to send them.
Here is my piece of code for validation:
FrontController
public function insert(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'jenis' => 'required|string',
'kategori' => 'required|string',
'nopol' => 'required|string',
]);
DB::table('park')->insert([
'jenis' => $request->input('jenis'),
'kategori' => $request->input('kategori'),
'nopol' => $request->input('nopol'),
'created_at' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'status' => true;
]);
}
home.blade.php
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="typeahead">Jenis Kendaraan</label>
<div class="controls">
<select id="opt" name="jenis">
<option value="1">Motor</option>
<option value="2">Mobil</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
Should i use #foreach or directly use #if #else #endif ?

Answer 1

I think you want to save jenis with value either 'Motor' or 'Mobile' because you are validating as a string. Just put as
<select id="opt" name="jenis">
<option value="Motor">Motor</option>
<option value="Mobil">Mobil</option>
</select>

Answer 2

Whatever you write in value will go in the request object.
<option value="1">Motor</option>
this what you wrote in the value , so on the form submission in request()->input('jenis') you will get 1.. you should give numeric validation or between(range) type of validation, please check the laravel docs.

In case anyone stumbled upon this via Googling how to validate actual Blade syntax, check this out.
Create a custom validation rule:
<?php
namespace App\Rules;
use Exception;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
class BladeSyntax implements Rule
{
private $message;
public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
File::put(resource_path('views/validation.blade.php'), $value);
try {
view('validation')->render();
return true;
}
catch (Exception $exception) {
$this->message = $exception->getMessage();
return false;
}
}
public function message()
{
return explode('(', $this->message)[0];
}
}
Then use new BladeSyntax in your validation rules.
