I have an edit view and i am using a partial _form view.
Is there a way to check if the form is a patch or post?
What i plan to do is to change the hidden field in edit form
#if (form is post)
{!! Form::hidden('signature') !!}
#else
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('signature', 'Signature: ', ['class' => 'col-md-4 control-label']) !!}
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::text('signature', null, ['class' => 'col-md-2 form-control', 'required']) !!}
</div>
</div>
#endif
because this variable is already saved to DB and i want to load it for edit.
Or to check if form is post, that would work also!
I usually pass the variable to a view where I set action, like:
$action = 'store';
Then I use this variable to build route name:
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'post'.$action, ....
And detect what type of action is needed:
#if ($action == 'store')
I guess it's the most readable and simple way to achieve what you're trying to achieve. You can do something similar.
Try this:
$isPut= Request::isMethod('put');
if($isPut) {
//
}

I need help to access foreign id in my pivot table to use in form builder select form. I'm trying to create a form when I insert movie and select category then they will be connected when I insert it by fetching category_id from pivot table.
I use many to many relationship and my tables are movies and categories with pivot table category_movie (id, category_id, movie_id).
This is my controller and form.
Controller
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->user()->authorizeRoles('admin');
Movie::create($request->all());
$categories = Category::pluck('category_name', 'id')->all();
return view('movies.upload', compact('movies', 'categories'));
}
View
<div class="col-md-6">
{{csrf_field()}}
{!! Form::open(['method'=>'GET', 'action'=> 'MoviesController#store']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('name', 'Name:') !!}
{!! Form::text('name', null, ['class'=>'form-control'])!!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label ('', 'Category:') !!}
{!! Form::select('', [''=>'Choose Categories'] + $categories, null, ['class'=>'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Insert Movie', ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
</div>
First of all you don't need csrf_field() call (Form::open will inject one for you). All you need to do is add logic to your controller to process selected categories. Give your select a name and make it of type multiple (since you have many to many relationship you want user to be able to select multiple categories for a movie):
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('categories', 'Category:') !!}
{!! Form::select('categories', $categories, null, ['class'=>'form-control', 'multiple' => true]) !!}
</div>
Then in your controller when storing new movie you can read selected 'categories' from the request and attach them:
$movie = Movie::create($request->all());
$movie->categories()->attach($request->get('categories'));
Also store() method is usually accessed via POST route and it returns redirect response to a page where user can view newly created movie (or all movies). To display the form it is better to create a seperate create() method accessed via GET route. And don't forget about validating info in Request - you should either utilize Laravel's FormRequest or use controller's $this->validate() method before inserting anything in your DB.
I am creating a form that has a field that is required (trip_route_name). I want to generate a name for this (say a random number for example) when the form is submited rather than having the user fill out the form. How do I do that? Here is the code for the form:
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::label('trip_route_name', 'Trip Route Name') !!}
{!! Form::text( 'trip_route_name', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
<p id="msg_trip_route_name" class="text-danger">{!! $errors->first('trip_route_name', ':message') !!}</p>
</div>
</div>
You can use str_random() helper:
{!! Form::text( 'trip_route_name', str_random(20), ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
The str_random function generates a random string of the specified length.
If you don't want user could see generated random name, use hidden instead of text.
I have a slight problem. I have a system whereby I can drag and drop my own forms. The html code for a form is saved in my database. When it comes to the edit page, I do something like the following
{!! Form::model($project->document, [
'class'=>'form-horizontal',
'method' => 'PATCH',
'route' => ['projects.documents.update', $project, $document->id]
]) !!}
{!! $documentData->documentData !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Save Data', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
$documentData->documentData contains the html code for this particular form.
Now my problem is, $documentData->form_data contains the old inputs for this form.
Is there any way to get this old input into the form, the way I am currently handling things?
Thanks
in controller you can access old input by $request->flash(); while in frontend you can access old by input type="text" name="name" value="{{ $name }}"
I have a form filter and a grid with result data. In table i click on a field and update this field,in controller return Redirect::back(), in this case all field from form are reseted, but i need to keep this value. Field what is pressed is out of this form.How can resolve this problem?
{!! Form::open(['url' => 'admin/filter', 'method'=>'put','class' => 'navbar-form']) !!}
//text fields for filter
{!!Form::close!!}
table
<td>
#if($mark->enabled==1)
<p>
{!! HTML::link('admin/showEnabled/'.$mark->id,'', ['class' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-eye-open']) !!}
</p>
#else
<p>
{!! HTML::link('admin/showEnabled/'.$mark->id, '',['class' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-eye-close']) !!}
</p>
#endif
<td>
</table>

Cotroller admin showEnabled
update field
Redirect::back()
Use the withInput() chaining method:
return Redirect::back()->withInput();
Or, in the latest version:
return back()->withInput();
I have a text box that needs to be made readonly; I don't want to use array('disabled' => 'true') because I need PHP to process the field:
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken()) }}
How do you add this attribute?
Just add it as the 3rd argument:
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken(), ['readonly']) }}
That's how I did it in Laravel 5:
{!! Form::text('id', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'readonly' => 'true']) !!}
Cheers.
Write the following line
{!! Form::text('field_name','field_value',array('class'=>'form-control','readonly')) !!}
For Laravel 5 and above
{!! Form::text('name', 'default-value', ['class'=>'class-name','readonly']) !!}
In third argument you can pass all your extra arguments in form of an array. This line will result into something like this in html.
<input class="class-name" readonly="readonly" name="name" type="text" value="default-value">
For Laravel < 5 , this should work
{{ Form::text('name', 'default-value', ['class'=>'class-name','readonly']) }}
Try this...
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken(),array('readonly')) }}
I am using Laravel 5.4 along with BootForm, and the only way that it has worked was by doing:
{!! BootForm::text('Name', 'name', $name)->disable() !!}
Based on the docs of adamwathan/form.
Hope it helps!
