I am trying to validate checkboxes in my Laravel application. The HTML name and values of the checkbox are generated from my database and I am doing a loop to display all the boxes. How do I do a validation rule so that at least one box is checked or required? These are the relevant view code from my blade file and the method from my controller.
//Snippet from create-user.blade.php
<div class='form-group'>
@foreach ($roles as $role) //$role variable gets its data from the db
{{ Form::label('role', $role->display_name) }}
{{ Form::checkbox($role->name, $role->id) }}
@endforeach
</div>
//Snippet from UserController.php
public function addUser(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'name'=>'required|max:120|alpha_dash',
'email'=>'required|email|unique:users',
$role->name =>'required', //This line results in 'Undefined variable: role'
'password'=>'required|min:4',
'password_confirmation'=>'required|min:4']
);
$email = $request['email'];
$name = $request['name'];
$password = bcrypt($request['password']);
$user = new User();
$user->email = $email;
$user->name = $name;
$user->password = $password;
$user->save();
return redirect()->route('account');
}
What do I pass in place of $role->name in the validation array? Thanks
Instead of creating checkbox with name of role, better create checkbox with static name like roles[]. I modified your code, have a look. Also added roles attach to user (I assuming You already have roles relationship in User model).
//Snippet from create-user.blade.php
<div class='form-group'>
@foreach ($roles as $role) //$role variable gets its data from the db
{{ Form::label('roles', $role->display_name) }}
{{ Form::checkbox('roles[]', $role->id) }}
@endforeach
</div>
//Snippet from UserController.php
public function addUser(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|max:120|alpha_dash',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
'roles' => 'required',
'password' => 'required|min:4',
'password_confirmation' => 'required|min:4'
]
);
$email = $request['email'];
$name = $request['name'];
$password = bcrypt($request['password']);
$user = new User();
$user->email = $email;
$user->name = $name;
$user->password = $password;
$user->save();
//attach roles
$user->roles()->sync($request->input('roles',[]));
return redirect()->route('account');
}
