FormData Package

Make your database columns available in your blade view effortlessly.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require bnhashem/form-data

Features

• Incredibly easy to use.
• Help use signle form for create and update.
• The values name are the same as the database columns name, save you calling old conditionally in the view.

use Bnhashem\FormData\FormData;

$formData = new FormData();

Usage

Create

use Bnhashem\FormData\FormData;

/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function create()
{
    return view('your.custom.view', FormData::old(new Model()));
}

Edit

use Bnhashem\FormData\FormData;

/**
 * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
 *
 * @param  \App\Models\Model $model
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */

public function edit(Model $model)
{
    return view('your.custom.view', FormData::edit($model);
}

Example

/**
 * Run the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function up()
{
    Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->string('content');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

We will try to store a new post

use Bnhashem\FormData\FormData;

public function create()
{
    return view('your.custom.view', FormData::old(new Post()));
}

Mind that the name of variable must be the same as the column name value in the database

<div class="form-group col-6">
    <label>{{ __('Name') }}</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" value="{{ $name }}">
    @error('name') <span class="erorr">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
</div>

We will try to edit a post

use Bnhashem\FormData\FormData;

public function edit(Post $post)
{
    return view('your.custom.view', FormData::edit($post));
}

<div class="form-group col-6">
    <label>{{ __('Name') }}</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" value="{{ $name }}">
    @error('name') <span class="erorr">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
</div>

Json Columns

Somtimes Column have many values and unique keys, in this case We will do the following:

posts table migration

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->json('name');
        $table->json('content');
    });
}

Post Model

Add static property $JSONCOLUMNS, with column names and the the keys that you want to add in the blade.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{

    public static $JSONCOLUMNS = [
        'name' => ['en', 'ar'], 
        'content' => ['ar', 'en']
        ];

}

Fetch Data From Json columns in blade

<div class="form-group col-6">
    <label>{{ __('English Name') }}</label>
    <input type="text" name="name['en']" value="{{ $name['en'] }}">
    @error('name.en') <span class="erorr">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
</div>


<div class="form-group col-6">
    <label>{{ __('Arabic Name') }}</label>
    <input type="text" name="name['ar']" value="{{ $name['ar'] }}">
    @error('name.ar') <span class="erorr">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
</div>
