Today, I will give you an example of “How to Store and Update using same Function in Laravel”, So you can easily apply it with your laravel 5, laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, and Laravel 9 application.
First, what we’re doing here, This is the example :
Need of use the same form for create and edit in Laravel
Sometimes we need to use the same form to create and edit in our Laravel application but it is not a good practice.
Whenever we work on mini-projects on laravel for example simple e-commerce, in that case, we add the multiple delivery address on the checkout page, so we use only a single form to create and edit user addreess.
Let’s get started.
Generating Migration with Model
php artisan make:model Book -mMigration Structures
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateBooksTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('books', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('book_name');
$table->string('book_author');
$table->string('book_description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('books');
}
}
Run Migration
php artisan migrateapp\Models\Book.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
}
Create a Controller
php artisan make:controller BookControllerDefine Web Routes
routes\web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\BookController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/book-list', [BookController::class, 'bookList'])->name('book.list');
Route::any('/add-edit-book/{id?}', [BookController::class, 'addeditBook'])->name('addedit.book');Recommended article:- Use of Any Route in Laravel.
app\Http\Controllers\BookController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Session;
use App\Models\Book;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class BookController extends Controller
{
public function bookList(){
$books = Book::get();
return view('example.list',compact('books'));
}
public function addeditBook(Request $request, $id=null){
if($id== ""){
$book = new Book;
}else{
$book = Book::find($id);
}
if($request->isMethod('post')){
$data = $request->all();
$book->book_name = $data['name'];
$book->book_author = $data['author'];
$book->book_description = $data['description'];
$book->save();
return redirect()->route('book.list') ;
}else{
return view('example.add_edit_book',compact('book'));
}
}
}
Create Blade Files
We create an example folder in views and then make these 2 files given below-:
- list.blade.php
- add_edit_book.blade.php
resources\views\example\list.blade.php
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h3>Laravel 8 use same form for create and edit Example</h3>
<a href="{{route('addedit.book')}}"><button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-sm btn pull-right">Add new Book</button></a>
<table class="table table-bordered">

<th>Action</th>
</tr>
@if(isset($books) && !empty($books))
@foreach ($books as $key => $book )
<tr>
<td>{{ $key+1 }}</td>
<td>{{ $book->book_name }}</td>
<td>{{ $book->book_author}}</td>
<td>
<a href="{{route('addedit.book',$book['id'])}}" class="btn btn-primary" role="button">Edit</a>

@endforeach
@endif
