Laravel - using onclick to submit form from checkbox - php

Question

I have a simple task list project under Laravel.
When I click a checkbox it does not show a checked condition. (The second item is in the true condition in the database and thus shows checked. I cannot uncheck this item) I have searched for an answer to why on the net but cannot find a solution or reason.
Code:
home.blade.php (in views folder) -
#extends('layouts.main')
#section('content')
<h1>Tasks</h1>
<ul>
#foreach ($items as $item)
<li>
{{ Form::open() }}
<input type="checkbox" onClick="this.form.submit()" {{ $item->done ? 'checked' : '' }}>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ $item->id }}">
{{ $item->name }}
{{ Form::close() }}
</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#stop
HomeController.php (inControllers folder) -
<?php
class HomeController extends BaseController {
public function getIndex() {
$items = Auth::user()->items;
return View::make('home', array(
'items' => $items
));
}
public function postIndex() {
$id = Input::get('id');
$user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$item = Item::findOrFail($id);
if($item->owner_id == $userId) {
$item->mark();
}
return Redirect::route('home');
}
}
Item.php (in models folder) -
<?php
class Item extends Eloquent {
public function mark() {
$this->$done = $this->done ? false : true;
$this->save();
}
}
routes.php -
<?php
Route::get('/', array('as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController#getIndex'))->before('auth');
Route::post('/', array('uses' => 'HomeController#postIndex'))->before('csrf');
Route::get('/login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'AuthController#getLogin'))->before('guest');
Route::post('login', array('uses' => 'AuthController#postLogin'))->before('csrf');

Answer 1

in your code, you never update the model's done value. i assume, you want to change it with the post method. so you'd need to take the value from the checkbox name (e.g. Input::get('box-ID'))
you could also create a checkbox using the form class:
// public function checkbox($name, $value = 1, $checked = null, $options = array())
{{ Form::checkbox('name', 'value', true, ['onClick' => 'alert(123)']) }}
reference: Formbuilder -> checkbox

Answer 2

You should modify your form like this. It works me I hope will work for you also.
{{ Form::open(['route' => ['items.update', $items->id], 'class' => 'form-inline', 'method' => 'put']) }}
