Problem with edit function using a modal Laravel - laravel

Question

I have the next function
public function edit($id)
{
if(request()->ajax())
{
$data = Tbl_Perimetro::findOrFail($id);
return response()->json(['result' => $data]);
}
}
public function update(Request $request, Tbl_Perimetro $user)
{
$rules = array(
'rif' => 'required',
'razon_social' => 'required',
'holdings_id' => 'required',
'pines_id' => 'required'
);
$error = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
if($error->fails())
{
return response()->json(['errors' => $error->errors()->all()]);
}
$form_data = array(
'rif' => $request->rif,
'razon_social' => $request->razon_social,
'holdings_id' => $request->holdings_id,
'pines_id' => $request->pines_id
);
Tbl_Perimetro::whereId($request->hidden_id)->update($form_data);
return response()->json(['success' => 'Datos actualizados satisfactoriamente.']);
}
My problem is that I would like to work with some models... and I know how to work with one model which is Tbl_Perimetro... I would like to work with another model called Tbl_Holding, But I'm using a modal to edit all this information.. here is the code of the modal:
$('#create_record').click(function(){
$('.modal-title').text('Add New Record');
$('#action_button').val('Add');
$('#action').val('Add');
$('#form_result').html('');
$('#formModal').modal('show');
});
$('#user_form').on('submit', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var action_url = '';
if($('#action').val() == 'Add')
{
action_url = "{{ route('perimetro.store') }}";
}
if($('#action').val() == 'Editar')
{
action_url = "{{ route('perimetro.update') }}";
}
$.ajax({
url: action_url,
method:"POST",
data:$(this).serialize(),
dataType:"json",
success:function(data)
{
var html = '';
if(data.errors)
{
html = '<div class="alert alert-danger">';
for(var count = 0; count < data.errors.length; count++)
{
html += '<p>' + data.errors[count] + '</p>';
}
html += '</div>';
}
if(data.success)
{
html = '<div class="alert alert-success">' + data.success + '</div>';
$('#user_form')[0].reset();
$('#user_perimetro').DataTable().ajax.reload();
}
$('#form_result').html(html);
}
});
});
$(document).on('click', '.edit', function(){
var id = $(this).attr('id');
$('#form_result').html('');
$.ajax({
url :"/perimetro/"+id+"/edit",
dataType:"json",
success:function(data)
{
$('#rif').val(data.result.rif);
$('#razon_social').val(data.result.razon_social);
$('#holdings_id').val(data.result.holdings_id);
$('#pines_id').val(data.result.pines_id);
$('#carteras_id').val(data.result.carteras_id);
$('#hidden_id').val(id);
$('.modal-title').text('Editar Registro');
$('#action_button').val('Editar');
$('#action').val('Editar');
$('#formModal').modal('show');
}
})
});
This is the button to edit the information
$button = '<button type="button" name="edit" id="'.$data->id.'" class="edit btn btn-primary btn-sm">Editar</button>';
I would like to know is it exist a way to work with two models in the same modal... In this way I only can work with one model at the same time...

Answer 1

I think I got what you mean...
What you can do is using a route with 2 variables passed, the first variable could be the id of the tbl_perimetro and the 2nd variable could be the id of the tbl_holding.
So, this would fit like this:
public function edit($id, $idholding)
{
if(request()->ajax())
{
$data = Tbl_Perimetro::findOrFail($id);
$data1 = Tbl_Holding::findOrFail($idholding);
$alldata = array($data, $data1); //----->THIS WILL BREAK YOUR JSON STRUCTURE BE CAREFUL
return response()->json(['result' => $alldata]);
}
}
And the same in the update function:
public function update(Request $request, Tbl_Perimetro $user, Tbl_Holding $holding)
{
...
}
Be careful editing your routes, because starting in laravel 6 (I think) the variables HAVE to be literal, so the new routes have to match the variable name of the function p.ex:
Route::get('editmodels/{id}/{idholding}','Controller#edit'); //<----This will work
Route::get('editmodels/{id}/{id2}','Controller#edit'); //<----This won't work
Hope it helps!!
