I've been stuck with this issue for serveral hours, so hopefully some of you can help. Thanks in advance.
The issue is simple: when I click the form's submit button, nothing happens. Like, literally nothing. No errors, anything.
Before starting developing the form I had created the Message model by doing
php artisan make:model Message --resource
Thus I have the methods create, store etc.. already done and ready (thanks artisan!).
In my route web.php route file, I have:
Route::resource('Message','MessageController');
This should automatically link all the methods, right?
Anyway, my form is:
{!! Form::open(['action' => 'MessageController@store', 'method' => 'POST']) !!}
<ul class="row">
<li class="col-sm-6">
<label>{{Form::label('name','Name')}}</label>
{{Form::text('name', '', ['class' => 'form-control'])}}
</li>
<li class="col-sm-6">
<label>{{Form::label('email','Email')}}</label>
{{Form::text('email', '', ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Your email'])}}
</li>
<li class="col-sm-12">
<label>{{Form::label('message','Message')}}</label>
{{Form::textarea('message','', ['class' => 'form-control'])}}
</li>
{{Form::submit('Submit', ['class' => 'btn-round'])}}
</ul>
{!! Form::close() !!}
and my MessageController@store looks like this:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this -> validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required',
'message' => 'required'
]
);
$message = new Message();
$message -> name= $request -> input('name');
$message -> email= $request -> input('email');
$message -> text= $request ->input('text');
$message -> user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$message->save();
return redirect('/');
}
The controller just doesn't seem to work because even if I cut validation, nothing happens. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong!
