I have this code:
After Playing around a bit I came up with this and it seems to work just splendidly
<select name="options[]" id="options" class="form-control" multiple>
@foreach($settings->includes->get('optionList') as $option)
<option value="{{ $option->id }}" {{ (collect(old('options'))->contains($option->id)) ? 'selected':'' }}>{{ $option->name }}</option>
@endforeach
</select>
I may be 100% wrong in leveraging the collect function but it works fine on many of my tests. After seeing a few other posts on the site I saw someone recommend leveraging the in_array($needle, $array) function but after noticing that if my old('options') was null it would error out because it requires in_array requires, bet you guessed an array. So after finding the solution to that albeit ugly solution I played with the collect method because after all we are using larval right! well anyway the ugly solution is as follows
@if (old("options")){{ (in_array($option->id, old("options")) ? "selected":"") }}@endif
inline but man that looks ugly to me so long story short I am using the following instead
{{ (collect(old('options'))->contains($option->id)) ? 'selected':'' }}
Hope this helps others!!
This does not seem to work for a non multiple select field ill get back with one that does work for that though.
<select name="gender" class="form-control" id="gender">
<option value="">Select Gender</option>
<option value="M" @if (old('gender') == "M") {{ 'selected' }} @endif>Male</option>
<option value="F" @if (old('gender') == "F") {{ 'selected' }} @endif>Female</option>
</select>
Okay, my 2 cents, using the default value of Laravel's old() function.
<select name="type">
@foreach($options as $key => $text)
<option @if((int) old('type', $selectedOption) === $key) selected @endif value="{{ $key }}">{{ $text }}</option>
@endforeach
</select>
Also, you can use the ?
operator to avoid having to use @if @else @endif
syntax. Change:
@if (Input::old('title') == $key)
<option value="{{ $key }}" selected>{{ $val }}</option>
@else
<option value="{{ $key }}">{{ $val }}</option>
@endif
Simply to:
<option value="{{ $key }}" {{ (Input::old("title") == $key ? "selected":"") }}>{{ $val }}</option>
<select>
@if(old('value') =={{$key}})
<option value="value" selected>{{$value}}</option>
@else
<option value="value">{{$value}}</option>
@endif
</select>
Instead of using Input class you can also use old() helper to make this even shorter.
<option {{ old('name') == $key ? "selected" : "" }} value="{{ $value }}">
