How to show default value in select option (parent_id)?
I tried for save a parent_id of Category in laravel 5.8 successfully. but I want to edit category now.
CategoryController.php
public function edit(Category $category)
{
return view('Admin.categories.edit', compact('category'));
}
public function update(CategoryRequest $request, Category $category)
{
$category->update($request->all());
return redirect(route('categories.index'));
}
edit.blade.php
<form action="{{ route('categories.update', $category->id) }}" method="post">
{{ method_field('PATCH') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
@include('Admin.layouts.errors')
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" value="{{ old('name') ? : $category->name }}" id="name" name="name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="parent_id">Sub Category</label>
<select class="form-control" id="parent_id" name="parent_id" data-live-search="true">
@foreach(\App\Category::all() as $category)
<option value="{{ $category->id }}" {{ trim($category->id) , $category->pluck('id')->toArray() ? 'selected' : '' }}>{{ $category->name }}</option>
@endforeach
</select>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</form>

@CRONIX - OK, I mark them. Can you help me?

@foreach(\App\Category::all() as $category)
<option value="{{ $category->id }}" {{ trim($category->id) , $category->pluck('id')->toArray() ? 'selected' : '' }}>{{ $category->name }}</option>
@endforeach
For one thing, this doesn't make sense at all, specifically this part
{{ trim($category->id) , $category->pluck('id')->toArray() ? 'selected' : '' }}
I don't know how you're going to select options, unless you somehow pass those options (or the ids's of the options) that are supposed to be selected, to the view. You're looping all options available.
How do you know what options are supposed to be selected? I don't see any code that would tell you that.

@CRONIX - I do not want to select option. I want to select option a value that selected database.
Level 67
I want to select option a value that selected database.
Can you please reword that? I don't understand what you're meaning, because to me it looks like you are clearly trying to mark an option as selected. It shows that right in the code, right here:
{{ trim($category->id) , $category->pluck('id')->toArray() ? 'selected' : '' }}
If all you are trying to do is show all categories, and not select any of them via code, why are you trying to add a selected attribute instead of just outputting them?
@foreach(\App\Category::all() as $category)
<option value="{{ $category->id }}">{{ $category->name }}</option>
@endforeach

I think OP means what is currently stored in the DB. (I think)
See https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/how-do-i-assign-the-existing-value-to-a-select
By retrieving what's stored just like inputs.

For example
I have categories in database
id name parent_id
1 Software 0
2 Hardware 0
3 Photoshop 1
4 CoredDraw 1
Now in the if a user for example select CorelDraw for edit
open edit for it.
Select the name input tag write CorelDraw
Select the parent_id option tag select Software. Because this is parent_id is = 0

Did you even bother to look at the link I gave. It talks about your question.

Is answer.
Rather than cut and paste code, the link gives you the idea of how you need the select option set up.
