I am working on a library application, and if I have several eloquent relationships with my books table. For example genres and publishers have a ManytoMany relationship with books. When I am creating a new book I want to add error messages if the user didn't put in correct data, but I cannot get it to work with the eloquent ones. The normal error messages work fine.
Controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Book;
use App\Language;
use App\Genre;
use App\Author;
use App\Publisher;
class BookController extends Controller
{
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'authors' => 'exists:authors,id',
'year' => 'required|numeric|max:2500',
'publishers' => 'exists:publishers,id',
'genres' => 'exists:genres,id',
'language_id' => 'required',
'isbn' => 'required|numeric|max:9999999999999',
'pages' => 'required|numeric',
]);
$book = Book::create($validatedData);
$book->authors()->attach(request('authors'));
$book->genres()->attach(request('genres'));
$book->publishers()->attach(request('publishers'));
return redirect('books')->with('success', 'Buch wurde erfolgreich hinzugefügt!');
}
}
create.blade.php:
