I have an admin where he is able to create and update users. I made a new Form request called UserUpdateRequest. How can I pass the user id so that it can update user detail? Here are my rules:
// UserUpdateRequest
public function rules()
{
return [
'firstname' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'lastname' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'username' => 'required|max:255',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users,email,????',
'contact' => 'required|integer',
'gender' => 'required|in:m,f',
'role_id' => 'required|exists:roles,id',
];
}
// Controller
public function update(UserUpdateRequest $request, User $user)
{
$user->update([
'firstname' => request('firstname'),
'lastname' => request('lastname'),
'username' => request('username'),
'email' => request('email'),
'contact' => request('contact'),
'gender' => request('gender'),
'role_id' => request('role_id'),
]);
session()->flash('message', 'User has been successfully added.');
return redirect('/users/' . $user->id);
}
'required|email|max:255|unique:users,email,????', is where I am confused.
Here's what i did:
View:
<input type="hidden" value="{{ $user->id }}" name="user_id">
Controller:
public function rules()
{
$id = $this->request->get('user_id');
return [
'firstname' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'lastname' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'username' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users,email,'.$id,
'contact' => 'required|integer',
'gender' => 'required|in:m,f',
'role_id' => 'required|exists:roles,id',
];
}
routes/web.php
Route::get('/user/edit/{id}', 'UserController@edit')->name('user.edit');
Route::post('/user/update/{id}', 'UserController@update')->name('user.update');
FormRequest
'email' => ['required',Rule::unique('users')->ignore($this->route('id'))],
Since admin is changing users I assume you already have user data on your view file.
you can pass a hidden input on your form.
<input type="hidden" value="{{$user->id}}" name="user_id" />
and then receive it on your controller.
$user_id = $request->input('user_id');
$user = \App\User::find($user_id);
//validation comes here
Edit Depending on new information
public function update(UserUpdateRequest $request, User $user)
should be
public function update(Request $request, User $user)
and you have to call Request on your controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
after that you can get your request as
dd($request->all());
but if you are using a special request post your UserUpdateRequest class.
