Laravel Update DB with array from views - laravel

Question

i'm doing a simple project but having some difficulties with updating my database with values that I get from a form. The project is having a list of movies and when you click on one it would take you to a page with more details. Theres a button which you can update the details of that movie. I'm trying save whatever details are made to the relevant index of the table using the id. I can't seem to get it to work though. I did something similar when creating a new entry but having some difficulty updating the values of a specific movie/page. Thanks for any help!
Route:
Route::get('catalog', 'App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
Route::get('catalog/show/{id}', 'App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getShow');
Route::get('catalog/create', 'App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getCreate');
Route::get('catalog/edit/{id}', 'App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getEdit');
Route::post('catalog/create', 'App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#postCreate');
Route::put('catalog/edit/{id}','App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#putEdit');
Controller:
public function getEdit($id)
{
return view('catalog.edit', ['arrayPeliculas' => Movie::all()]);
}
public function getCreate()
{
return view('catalog.create');
}
public function postCreate(Request $request)
{
$Movie = new Movie;
$Movie->title = $request->title;
$Movie->year = $request->year;
$Movie->director = $request->director;
$Movie->poster = $request->poster;
$Movie->synopsis = $request->synopsis;
$Movie->save();
return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
}
public function putEdit(Request $request, $id)
{
$Movie = new Movie;
$Movie[$id]->title = $request->title;
$Movie[$id]->year = $request->year;
$Movie[$id]->director = $request->director;
$Movie[$id]->poster = $request->poster;
$Movie[$id]->synopsis = $request->synopsis;
$Movie->save();
return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
}
Edit page:
<form method="PUT">
{{ method_field('PUT') }}
{{-- TODO: Protección contra CSRF --}}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="modificar">Modificar Pelicula</label>
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" class="form-control" value="{{ $arrayPeliculas[$id]->title }}">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{-- TODO: Completa el input para el año --}}
<label for="Año">Año</label>
<input type="text" name="year" id="year" class="form-control" value="{{ $arrayPeliculas[$id]->year }}">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{-- TODO: Completa el input para el director --}}
<label for="Director">Director</label>
<input type="text" name="director" id="directo" class="form-control" value="{{ $arrayPeliculas[$id]->director }}">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{-- TODO: Completa el input para el poster --}}
<label for="Poster">Poster</label>
<input type="text" name="poster" id="poster" class="form-control" value="{{ $arrayPeliculas[$id]->poster }}">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="synopsis">Resumen</label>
<textarea name="synopsis" id="synopsis" class="form-control" rows="3" >{{ $arrayPeliculas[$id]->synopsis }}"</textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group text-center">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" style="padding:8px 100px;margin-top:25px;">
Añadir película
</button>
</div>
</form>
I tried a few other things like->update but I can't seem to get it to work properly.

Answer 1

To update an existing model, first find() it.
public function putEdit(Request $request, $id)
{
$Movie = Movie::find($id);
$Movie->title = $request->title;
$Movie->year = $request->year;
$Movie->director = $request->director;
$Movie->poster = $request->poster;
$Movie->synopsis = $request->synopsis;
$Movie->save();
return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
}
Using the update function should also work then:
public function putEdit(Request $request, $id)
{
$Movie = Movie::find($id);
$Movie->update([
'title' => $request->title,
'year' => $request->year,
'director' => $request->director,
'poster' => $request->poster,
'synopsis' => $request->synopsis,
]);
return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
}
You could really simplify it with some Laravel magic like Route Model Binding...
Route::put('catalog/edit/{movie}','App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#putEdit');
...
public function putEdit(Request $request, Movie $movie)
{
$movie->update($request->all());
return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\CatalogController#getIndex');
}
