Laravel - Toggle value in database with checkbox and ajax - php

Question

I want to toggle a boolean value in my table with a checkbox through jquery and ajax.
So whenever a user ticks the the checkbox it should toggle the value in table.
So far i came up with this but i need help:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input:checkbox").change(function() {
var isChecked = $("input:checkbox").is(":checked") ? 1:0;
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/activation',
headers: {'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '{{ csrf_token() }}' },
data: $('.checkbox').serialize(),
success:function(data){
}
});
});
});

Answer 1

#andre's answer is correct but
if($user->active == 1){
$user->active = 0;
} else {
$user->active = 1;
}
this part can be done by a single line
$user->active = !$user->active;

Answer 2

The only thing I'd modify would be returning an answer to the ajax call to let it know what's happening.
public function activation(Request $request)
{
$user = User::findOrFail($request->user_id);
if($user->active == 1){
$user->active = 0;
} else {
$user->active = 1;
}
return response()->json([
'data' => [
'success' => $user->save(),
]
]);
}
And now in the front-end part:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input:checkbox").change(function() {
var user_id = $(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/activation',
headers: {'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '{{ csrf_token() }}' },
data: { "user_id" : user_id },
success: function(data){
if(data.data.success){
//do something
}
}
});
});
});

in model create a method
function toggleActive ()
{
$this->active!=(int)$this->active;
return $this;
}
in controller
$model->toggleActive()->save();
