Define default values for Laravel form fields

Question

To pre-populate form field, we can add \'value\' to form field in create.blade.php:

{{ Form::text(\'title\', \'Some default title\') }}

Is ther

Answer 1

Probably easier (Laravel 5):

{{ Form::text('title', isset($yourModel) ? null : 'Some default title') }}

That is to assume you are using the form as a partial. It should populate the value if the model for the form exists (you are editing or patching record) else it should show you the default you wish.
