Adding a conditional statement to an array of fields? - php

Question

I need to include a conditional statement into the following array called $fields.
$fields = [
'program_id' => [
'type' => 'select',
'label' => 'Program',
'opts' => ["One", "Two", "Three"],
],
'name' => [
'label' => 'Job Name'
],
'start_date' => [
'class' => 'date-picker',
'label' => 'Job Starts' . $req,
'val' => $job->start_date ? dateToPicker($job->start_date) : null
],
'end_date' => [
'class' => 'date-picker',
'label' => 'Job Ends' . $req,
'val' => $job->end_date ? dateToPicker($job->end_date) : null
],
'section' => [
'type' => 'hidden',
'val' => 'details'
],
];
if (!$job->id && $program)
{
$fields['job_copy'] = [
'label' => 'Copy Job From',
'type' => 'select',
'textAsValue' => false,
'_comment' => 'Selecting a job here will copy all job information except the name.',
'opts' => array_replace([0 => '-- Select Job --'], $program->jobs()->lists('name', 'id')->all())
];
}
$fields[] = [
'type' => 'submit',
'label' => "Save",
'class' => 'btn btn-primary !important'
];
}
I need to move the conditional statement to the top so that it is the first thing displayed on the form. However, when I move it to the top it disappears. How can I integrate the conditional check into the top of the form as opposed to at the bottom where it currently displays?

Answer 1

$fields = [];
if (!$job->id && $program)
{
$fields['job_copy'] = [
'label' => 'Copy Job From',
'type' => 'select',
'textAsValue' => false,
'_comment' => 'Selecting a job here will copy all job information except the name.',
'opts' => array_replace([0 => '-- Select Job --'], $program->jobs()->lists('name', 'id')->all())
];
}
$fields2 = [
'program_id' => [
'type' => 'select',
'label' => 'Program',
'opts' => ["One", "Two", "Three"],
],
'name' => [
'label' => 'Job Name'
],
'start_date' => [
'class' => 'date-picker',
'label' => 'Job Starts' . $req,
'val' => $job->start_date ? dateToPicker($job->start_date) : null
],
'end_date' => [
'class' => 'date-picker',
'label' => 'Job Ends' . $req,
'val' => $job->end_date ? dateToPicker($job->end_date) : null
],
'section' => [
'type' => 'hidden',
'val' => 'details'
],
];
$fields = array_merge($fields,$fields2);
$fields[] = [
'type' => 'submit',
'label' => "Save",
'class' => 'btn btn-primary !important'
];
