Form Handling

Basic Form Handling

in routes/web.php add:

• Laravel will use get or post automatically as the code inside the function will required.

Route::get('/projects', 'ProjectsController@index');
Route::post('/projects', 'ProjectsController@store');

inside controller (at ProjectsController in this example)

• It’s return all entered information

 public function store()
    {
        return request()->all(); 
     // or you can return any form information with:
     // return request('title');
    }

inside the web page call with: ” {{ csrf_field() }} ” – this is a security helper that put hidden input like this:

 <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="qPc0L8dtVwKnkagCdvaWcKgVfzLUkj3DwWFzZ7Cm">

<form method="POST" action="/projects">
    {{ csrf_field() }}

    <div>
        <input type="text" name="title" placeholder="Project title">
    </div>
    
    <div>
        <textarea name="description" placeholder="Project description"></textarea>
    </div>

    <div>
        <button type="submit">Create Project</button>
</form>

Advance Form Handling

Create a project and store the data to Database

public function store()
    {
        //return request()->all();
        //return request('title');

        $project = new Project();

        $project->title = request('title');
        $project->description = request('description');
        $project->save();

        return redirect('/projects');
    }
