Blade checkbox and Eloquent

How do i tell elequent that a missing check mark is not 0?

• checked is 1
• not checked is 0

If nothing was passed for the checkbox, then 0.

Convert as needed to laravel request, but it looks something like this in php:

$adopted = (isset($_POST['adopted']) == '1' ? '1' : '0'); 

Where adopted is a checkbox, checked 1 = adopted. not checked 0 = available for adoption.

Do an assessor mutator or whatever you need.

For an edit form:

<input type="checkbox" name="adopted" id="adopted" value="1"<?php echo ($cat->adopted == 1 ? ' checked' : '');

or

<input type="checkbox" name="adopted" id="adopted" value="1" {{  ($cat->adopted == 1 ? ' checked' : '') }}

Don't over think blade, it's just php.

@JLRDW - Thank you that helped. I am guessing with laravel there is much much shorter way but this did get it to work.

  $manufacturer->drop_ship = (!request()->has('drop_ship') == '1' ? '0' : '1'); 
        $manufacturer->import_only = (!request()->has('import_only') == '1' ? '0' : '1'); 
        $manufacturer->status = (!request()->has('status') == '1' ? '0' : '1'); 
        $manufacturer->name = request('name');
        $manufacturer->markup = request('markup');
        $manufacturer->contact_email = request('contact_email');
        $manufacturer->order_email = request('order_email');
        $manufacturer->telephone = request('telephone');
        $manufacturer->ein = request('ein');
        $manufacturer->comments = request('comments');
        $manufacturer->address = request('address');
        $manufacturer->zipCode = request('zip');
        $manufacturer->state = request('state');
        $manufacturer->country = request('country');

        $manufacturer->save();
      
        return redirect()->back()->with(['status'=>'success', 'message'=>'Updated']);

blade

<input type="checkbox" name="status" data-plugin="switchery" data-color="#1bb99a" {{ $manufacturer->status ? 'checked' : ''}} >

if anybody has a shorter way please let me know. This looks terrible.

Is it possible to just modify one item our of the request and request->all() for the test?

Read the docs on validation also, your data should be validated or tags stripped via PHP strip tags.

I agree, it's not quite pretty. First, you are essentially inverting it by saying if drop_ship is 1, then use the string '0', but then use the ! to fix that.

(!request()->has('drop_ship') == '1' ? '0' : '1')

Could simply be

request('drop_ship') == true; or (bool)request('drop_ship')
