I have a slight problem. I have a system whereby I can drag and drop my own forms. The html code for a form is saved in my database. When it comes to the edit page, I do something like the following
{!! Form::model($project->document, [
'class'=>'form-horizontal',
'method' => 'PATCH',
'route' => ['projects.documents.update', $project, $document->id]
]) !!}
{!! $documentData->documentData !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Save Data', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
$documentData->documentData contains the html code for this particular form.
Now my problem is, $documentData->form_data contains the old inputs for this form.
Is there any way to get this old input into the form, the way I am currently handling things?
Thanks
in controller you can access old input by $request->flash(); while in frontend you can access old by input type="text" name="name" value="{{ $name }}"

I have an edit view and i am using a partial _form view.
Is there a way to check if the form is a patch or post?
What i plan to do is to change the hidden field in edit form
#if (form is post)
{!! Form::hidden('signature') !!}
#else
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('signature', 'Signature: ', ['class' => 'col-md-4 control-label']) !!}
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::text('signature', null, ['class' => 'col-md-2 form-control', 'required']) !!}
</div>
</div>
#endif
because this variable is already saved to DB and i want to load it for edit.
Or to check if form is post, that would work also!
I usually pass the variable to a view where I set action, like:
$action = 'store';
Then I use this variable to build route name:
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'post'.$action, ....
And detect what type of action is needed:
#if ($action == 'store')
I guess it's the most readable and simple way to achieve what you're trying to achieve. You can do something similar.
Try this:
$isPut= Request::isMethod('put');
if($isPut) {
//
}
this is my form in my view
{!! Form::open(['url' => ['documents/{file}/{id}', $file->name, $file->id],'method' => 'delete']) !!}
{!! Form::token() !!}
{!! Form::submit('Delete') !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
controller in which i delete file from database and the original file
public function destroyFile($file_name, $id)
{
File::findOrFail($id)->delete();
$file_path = storage_path('documents').'/'.$file_name;
$destinationPath = $file_path; File::delete($file_path);
return redirect('/documents');
}
This is the route
Route::delete('documents/{file}/{id}','FilesController#destroyFile');
And when i press submit button I get NotFoundHttpException
Try to use this
{!! Form::open(['method' => 'DELETE', 'action' => ['FilesController#destroyFile', $file->name, $file->id] ]) !!}
Actually, their answers are correct. You need the _method to be DELETE. When I am using this. Laravel do it for me.
Or you can put this on your form
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
or
{!! Form::hidden('_method', 'DELETE') !!}
It is not possible to use this method with html forms in most browsers, most only support GET and POST.
So the reason for this request not working is because the browser sends this as a GET request, wich is the default.
GET, POST, PUT and DELETE are however supported in most major browsers when using XMLHttpRequests (ajax).
add {{ method_field('DELETE') }} to your form .
{!! Form::open(['url' => ['documents/{file}/{id}', $file->name, $file->id],'method' => 'delete']) !!}
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
{!! Form::token() !!}
{!! Form::submit('Delete') !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
The reason is that HTML forms does not support PUT, PATCH, DELETE actions. Basically you need to spoof them as described here. https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#form-method-spoofing
I am creating a form that has a field that is required (trip_route_name). I want to generate a name for this (say a random number for example) when the form is submited rather than having the user fill out the form. How do I do that? Here is the code for the form:
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::label('trip_route_name', 'Trip Route Name') !!}
{!! Form::text( 'trip_route_name', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
<p id="msg_trip_route_name" class="text-danger">{!! $errors->first('trip_route_name', ':message') !!}</p>
</div>
</div>
You can use str_random() helper:
{!! Form::text( 'trip_route_name', str_random(20), ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
The str_random function generates a random string of the specified length.
If you don't want user could see generated random name, use hidden instead of text.
I have a form filter and a grid with result data. In table i click on a field and update this field,in controller return Redirect::back(), in this case all field from form are reseted, but i need to keep this value. Field what is pressed is out of this form.How can resolve this problem?
{!! Form::open(['url' => 'admin/filter', 'method'=>'put','class' => 'navbar-form']) !!}
//text fields for filter
{!!Form::close!!}
table
<td>
#if($mark->enabled==1)
<p>
{!! HTML::link('admin/showEnabled/'.$mark->id,'', ['class' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-eye-open']) !!}
</p>
#else
<p>
{!! HTML::link('admin/showEnabled/'.$mark->id, '',['class' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-eye-close']) !!}
</p>
#endif
<td>
</table>
--------------
Cotroller admin showEnabled
update field
Redirect::back()
Use the withInput() chaining method:
return Redirect::back()->withInput();
Or, in the latest version:
return back()->withInput();
I have a text box that needs to be made readonly; I don't want to use array('disabled' => 'true') because I need PHP to process the field:
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken()) }}
How do you add this attribute?
Just add it as the 3rd argument:
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken(), ['readonly']) }}
That's how I did it in Laravel 5:
{!! Form::text('id', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'readonly' => 'true']) !!}
Cheers.
Write the following line
{!! Form::text('field_name','field_value',array('class'=>'form-control','readonly')) !!}
For Laravel 5 and above
{!! Form::text('name', 'default-value', ['class'=>'class-name','readonly']) !!}
In third argument you can pass all your extra arguments in form of an array. This line will result into something like this in html.
<input class="class-name" readonly="readonly" name="name" type="text" value="default-value">
For Laravel < 5 , this should work
{{ Form::text('name', 'default-value', ['class'=>'class-name','readonly']) }}
Try this...
{{ Form::text('login_token', Worker::generateLoginToken(),array('readonly')) }}
I am using Laravel 5.4 along with BootForm, and the only way that it has worked was by doing:
{!! BootForm::text('Name', 'name', $name)->disable() !!}
Based on the docs of adamwathan/form.
Hope it helps!
