Return search with Search values I have a search bar with multiple inputs, when the page returns the view with the search results, how can I pass back the inputs that were searched for so the Search Fields remain populated?
currently i'm returning a view:
return view('listings', compact('listings');
i tried withInput() then grabbing the {{ old['input'] }} didn't work.
how can i return the search results and the input?
Depending on how you are handling the search parameters you might want to use this:
$request->getQueryString()
@EventFellows
Controller method:
public function listings(Request $request)
{
$data = $request->all();
$listings = Listing::all();
if($data){
$listings = (new SearchListings($request))->search();
}
return view('listings', compact('listings'))->with('data');
}
How does your form look like?
@EventFellows
just a snippet:
<div class="form-group search-mls">
<label class="control-label" for="mlsnumber">MLS#</label>
<div>
<input id="mlsnumber" name="mlsnumber" placeholder="MLS#" class="form-control input-md" type="text" value="{{ $data ? $data['mlsnumber'] : "" }}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group search-zip">
<label class="control-label" for="zipcode">Zip</label>
<div class="">
<input id="zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zip Code" class="form-control input-md" type="text" value="{{ $data ? $data['zipcode'] : "" }}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group search-type">
<label class="control-label hidden-on-desktop" for="propertytype">Property Type</label>
<div class="">
<select id="propertytype" name="propertytype" class="form-control">
<option value="" selected="selected">Type</option>
<option value="Residential">Residential</option>
<option value="Townhouse">Townhouse / Condo</option>
<option value="Multi">Multi-Family</option>
<option value="Land">Land</option>
<option value="Commercial">Commercial / Business</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
the ternary operation for value is working for single inputs now. Stuck on the select boxes at the moment
just use the request helper in your forms
something like this
<input type="search" name="field" value="{{request('field')}}"/>
For select boxes just use javascript or any front end related tool an example in javascript
document.getElementById("selectBoxId").value = "{{ old("selectBoxName") }}";
