Laravel - How to update checkbox field value - laravel

Question

Using Laravel-5.8, I have been able to save the data into the database including the check box field.
protected $fillable = [
'appraisal_name',
'is_current',
'appraisal_start',
'appraisal_end',
];
public function rules()
{
return [
'appraisal_name' => 'required|min:5|max:100',
'appraisal_start' => 'required',
'appraisal_end' => 'required|after_or_equal:appraisal_start',
'is_current' => 'nullable|boolean',
];
}
public function create()
{
return view('appraisal.appraisal_identities.create');
}
public function store(StoreAppraisalIdentityRequest $request)
{
$identity = AppraisalIdentity::create([
'appraisal_name' => $request->appraisal_name,
'appraisal_start' => $appraisalStart,
'appraisal_end' => $appraisalEnd,
'is_current' => $request->has('is_current'),
]);
Session::flash('success', 'Appraisal Initialization is created successfully');
return redirect()->route('appraisal.appraisal_identities.index');
}
public function edit($id)
{
abort_unless(\Gate::allows('appraisal_identity_edit'), 403);
$identity = AppraisalIdentity::where('id', $id)->first();
return view('appraisal.appraisal_identities.edit')->with('identity', $identity);
}
public function update(UpdateAppraisalIdentityRequest $request, $id)
{
abort_unless(\Gate::allows('appraisal_identity_edit'), 403);
$appraisalStart = Carbon::parse($request->appraisal_start);
$appraisalEnd = Carbon::parse($request->appraisal_end);
$submissionStart = Carbon::parse($request->submission_start);
$submissionEnd = Carbon::parse($request->submission_end);
$identity = AppraisalIdentity::find($id);
$identity->appraisal_name = $request->appraisal_name;
$identity->appraisal_start = $appraisalStart;
$identity->appraisal_end = $appraisalEnd;
$identity->is_current = $request->has('is_current');
$identity->save();
Session::flash('success', 'Appraisal Initialization is updated successfully');
return redirect()->route('appraisal.appraisal_identities.index');
}
create.blade

I have these issues while trying to update the data?
The edit checkbox field (is_current) did not pick the value from the database when loaded. It remains unchecked.
is_current is either 0 or 1. The goal is that, there can only be one is_current field that is set to 1 in the table. From the checkbox, when is_current is checked to 1, it should set any other is_current that is 1 to 0 in the table.
How do I resolve these issues?
Thank you.

In edit blade update your checkbox code as this:
<input type="checkbox" class="form-control" name="is_current" #if($identity->is_current == 1) checked #endif value="{{old('is_current')}}">
In your update function change this:
public function update(UpdateAppraisalIdentityRequest $request, $id)
{
abort_unless(\Gate::allows('appraisal_identity_edit'), 403);
$appraisalStart = Carbon::parse($request->appraisal_start);
$appraisalEnd = Carbon::parse($request->appraisal_end);
$submissionStart = Carbon::parse($request->submission_start);
$submissionEnd = Carbon::parse($request->submission_end);
$identity = AppraisalIdentity::find($id);
$identity->appraisal_name = $request->appraisal_name;
$identity->appraisal_start = $appraisalStart;
$identity->appraisal_end = $appraisalEnd;
$identity->is_current = $request->has('is_current');
$identity->save();
// this line update all column to 0 and leave $id field
AppraisalIdentity::where('id', '!=', $id)->update(['is_current' => 0]);
Session::flash('success', 'Appraisal Initialization is updated successfully');
return redirect()->route('appraisal.appraisal_identities.index');
}
In your store function change this:
public function store(StoreAppraisalIdentityRequest $request)
{
$identity = AppraisalIdentity::create([
'appraisal_name' => $request->appraisal_name,
'appraisal_start' => $appraisalStart,
'appraisal_end' => $appraisalEnd,
'is_current' => $request->has('is_current'),
]);
$id = $identity->id;
// this line update all column to 0 and leave $id field
AppraisalIdentity::where('id', '!=', $id)->update(['is_current' => 0]);
Session::flash('success', 'Appraisal Initialization is created successfully');
return redirect()->route('appraisal.appraisal_identities.index');
}

try this in the edit blade
<
is_current == 1 ? checked : value="{{old('is_current')}}">
