Updating database with laravel - php

Question

Let me explain situation, person is searching through skills and when clicked displays list of handymans with that skill, when user clicks on one of them, full details are displayed. user then clicks assign job link and is taken to a page with jobs along with checkbox and when desired job is chosen, and submit button clicked, I want a database to update "job_id" value in "handymen" database. How could that be done?
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('title', 'Assign Job')
#section('content')
#section('content')
<form action="{{url('assignjob')}}" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
#foreach ($jobs as $job)
<div>
<label>{{$job->name}}</label>
<input type='checkbox' value='{{$job->id}}' name='jobs[]'/>
</div>
#endforeach
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Assign Job">
</form>
#endsection
function search()
{
$skills = Skill::all();
return view('layouts/search',['skills' => $skills]);
}
function details($skillId)
{
$skill = Skill::find($skillId);
$handymen = $skill->handymen;
return view('layouts/details', ['skill' => $skill,'handymen' => $handymen]);
}
function assignJob($handymanId)
{
$assignJob = Hadnyman::find($handymanId);
$jobs = Job::all();
return view('layouts/assignjob',['jobs' => $jobs]);
}
function jobassign(Request $request)
{
return redirect('assignjob');
}
function skilledHandyman($handymanId)
{
$skilledHandyman = Handyman::find($handymanId);
return view('layouts/skilledHandyman', ['skilledHandyman' => $skilledHandyman]);
}
If a specific code is needed, please let me know

Answer 1

You should look at Eloquent Relationship.
Handymen has many Job
class Handymen extends Model {
...
public function jobs() {
return $this->hasMany(App\Job::class);
}
}
In your controller
function assignJob(Request $request, $id)
{
$handymen = Handyman::findOrFail($id);
// $request->get('jobs') = [1, 6, 7, etc...]
$handymen->saveMany($request->get('jobs'));
return ...;
}
