I have form with checkbox
@foreach($accounts as $acc)
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="account[{{ $acc->id }}]" @if($acc->published) checked @endif>
@endforeach
How I can pass 0 value when checkbox is not checked?
My controller:
public function updateMon(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'account' => 'required|array',
'account.*' => 'integer'
]);
foreach($account as $acc => $val) {
dd($val); //how get 0?
}
}
checkboxes are only posted when they are checked, so in controller you can use this fragment
public function updateMon(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'account' => 'required|array',
'account.*' => 'integer'
]);
$myVar = isset($request->account[0]) ? 1 : 0;
}
@foreach($accounts as $acc)
<input type="hidden" value="0" name="account[{{ $acc->id }}]">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="account[{{ $acc->id }}]" @if($acc->published) checked @endif>
@endforeach
In controller
public function updateMon(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'account' => 'required|array',
'account.*' => 'boolean'
]);
foreach($account as $acc => $val) {
dd($val); //that returns 0 if not checked
}
}
If checked on checkbox than it gets value = 1 if not checked on checkbox gets value =0
Just add hidden input field.
<input type="hidden" name="account[{{$acc->id }}]" value="0" >
Using Laravel Collective,
@foreach($accounts as $acc)
{{ Form::hidden('account['. $acc->id .']', false) }}
{{ Form::checkbox('display['.$acc->id.']', true,$acc->published ? true : false) }}
@endforeach
Try this:
Request::macro('checkbox', function ($key, $checked = 1, $notChecked = 0) {
return $this->input($key) ? $checked : $notChecked;
});
And use it like:
$model->property = $request->checkbox('input_name');
or
$model->property = $request->checkbox('input_name', 'yes', 'no');
depending on what values you need to store. You don't need do validate, you just need to check if the param is received.
I had to deal with the same issue, and I've tried many methods and I've found this one to be the most elegant.
isset(). If it exists, you can capture the value, if it does not exist, then default the value to whatever you want the Off setting to be"for yournameattributeif(!isset($yourval)){$yourval = 0;}although more commonly used in Laravel for these situations would be a ternary operator.$yourval = (!isset($yourval)) ? 0 : 1 ; OR $yourval = (!isset($yourval)) ? false : true ; OR $yourval = (isset($yourval)) ? true : false;then no need for validation as you are setting it.
