update data dynamically using Modal in laravel - php

Question

Tomorrow I am presenting my code in sprint. Everything was working fine until a few hours ago. I have a modal which pops up when a user clicks on Edit. It was giving the values according to id.
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
#foreach($Community as $editCommunity)
<h4 class="modal-title">Edit: {!! $editCommunity->community_name !!}</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form class="form-group" action="/update/{{$editCommunity->id}}" method="post" id="editCommunityForm">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="text" name="community_name" class="form-control" value="{{$editCommunity->community_name}}">
</form>
#endforeach
<button class="btn btn-custom dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" form="editCommunityForm">Update Community</button><br /><br />
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
{{--<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>--}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am very upset and confused and don't know what to do.
Any help would highly be appreciated
Edit:
After reading the comments; i have understood that only one id would be updated every time. How could i change the id dynamically and update data of that specific id and each time it should get only clicked id.
Controller Function to update:
public function updateCommunity($id, CommunityRequest $request) {
$updateCommunity = Community::findOrFail($id);
$updateCommunity->update($request->all());
return back();
}
View Buttons:
#foreach ($Community as $communities)
<tr>
<td>{{$communities->community_name}}</td>
<td> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Edit</button>
| Delete</td>
</tr>
#endforeach

Update
I understand you have all the communities listed in a list somewhere outside this modal, each entry has an edit and delete button. Upon clicking edit button user should be presented a modal with a single form to edit community he clicked that button for. All this using a single modal element.
The fact that you don't want to use more than one modal means you want to generate less DOM in order to provide faster loading times, if that's the case then edit your view buttons.
#foreach ($Community as $communities)
<tr>
<td>{{$communities->community_name}}</td>
<td> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" data-community="{{ json_encode($communities) }}">Edit</button>
| Delete</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
Notice new data-community attribute in edit button.
Now change your modal to provide a template for community edit form instead of providing a form for each community.
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Edit: <span></span></h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form class="form-group" method="post" id="editCommunityForm">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="text" name="community_name" class="form-control">
</form>
<button class="btn btn-custom dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" form="editCommunityForm">Update Community</button><br /><br />
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
{{--<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>--}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Now what you need to do it listen to edit community button click event (the one from view buttons), get data-community object from it, open a modal and fill with to fit edited community.
search for $('modal-title span') and .html() community name into it
search for $('#editCommunityForm') and change it's action to \update\{community_id}
search for $('button[form="editCommunityForm"]) and on click send form using ajax
There are many other ways to do this, better ways, it's just a simple example on how you can make it work.
Original answer
How come your submit button is outside of foreach but in an image it is displayed after each form? Also you are closing <div> tag in a loop that you opened before that loop.
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
#foreach($Community as $editCommunity)
<h4 class="modal-title">Edit: {!! $editCommunity->community_name !!}</h4>
</div> // You are closing a tag opened before foreach loop
<div class="modal-body">
<form class="form-group" action="/update/{{$editCommunity->id}}" method="post" id="editCommunityForm">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="text" name="community_name" class="form-control" value="{{$editCommunity->community_name}}">
</form>
#endforeach
<button class="btn btn-custom dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" form="editCommunityForm">Update Community</button><br /><br />
</div>
After you fix this you can simply edit form id by adding $editCommunity->id to it, like so:
<form class="form-group" action="/update/{{$editCommunity->id}}" method="post" id="editCommunityForm_{{$editCommunity->id}}">
Then you can edit button's form parameter to match your form:
<button class="btn btn-custom dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" form="editCommunityForm_{{$editCommunity->id}}">Update Community</button>
You should end up with this:
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
#foreach($Community as $editCommunity)
<h4 class="modal-title">Edit: {!! $editCommunity->community_name !!}</h4>
<form class="form-group" action="/update/{{$editCommunity->id}}" method="post" id="editCommunityForm_{{$editCommunity->id}}">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="text" name="community_name" class="form-control" value="{{$editCommunity->community_name}}">
</form>
<button class="btn btn-custom dropdown-toggle waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" form="editCommunityForm_{{$editCommunity->id}}">Update Community</button><br /><br />
#endforeach
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
{{--<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>--}}
</div>
