Hash password before saving with Laravel Backpacker - php

Question

A simple question: how do I modify (hash) the request value before saving it with Laravel Backpacker CRUD admin?
As far as i understand, it should be done somewhere before these methods are executed in the crud controller:
public function store(StoreRequest $request)
{
return parent::storeCrud();
}
public function update(UpdateRequest $request)
{
return parent::updateCrud();
}
but I have no idea how to do it correctly.
Edit: the request is not a Request object, but rather StoreRequest or UpdateRequest that looks something like this:
Fix:
public function update(UpdateRequest $request)
{
// Hash password before save
if (!empty($request->password)) {
$request->offsetSet('password', Hash::make($request->password));
}
return parent::updateCrud($request); // <-- Pass the modified request, otherwise the CRUD reads it again from post data
}

You can update $request values using the offsetSet method
$request->offsetSet('name', $newName);
Edit: To update user password you can do something like this:
public function update_password(Request $request)
{
$user = User::find(Auth::user()->id);
if (Hash::check($request->old_password, $user->password)) {
$user->fill([
'password' => Hash::make($request->password)
])->update();
return redirect()->back()->with('message' => 'Your password has been updated.');
}
else {
return redirect()->back()->with('message' => 'The password entered do not match our records.');
}
}
I did not check the code but it should work. Now update it to your needs.

If you're asking about how to modify data in $request variable, you can just do this:
$request->property = 'New value';
Also, you can add data to reuqest itself (not into variable):
request()->request->add(['key' => 'value']);
