Edit two unique value with laravel - laravel

Question

I have a problem with my Laravel 5.8 project. I want to edit one of two field that both have unique value.
Blade:
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('content')
<h1>CHANGE SURGICAL DIVISION</h1>
<a href="/surgical-div">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BACK</button><br>
</a>
#if (session('mess'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('mess')}}
</div>
#endif
<form method="POST" action="/surgical-div/{{ $surgicaldivs->id_surgical_div }}">
#method('patch')
#csrf
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name_surgical_div">Surgical Division Name: </label>
<input type="text" value="{{ $surgicaldivs->name_surgical_div }}"
class="form-control #error('name_surgical_div') is-invalid #enderror" id="name_surgical_div" name="name_surgical_div"
placeholder="Insert The Surgical Division">
#error('name_surgical_div')
<div class="invalid-feedback">
{{ $message }}
</div>
#enderror
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="initial_surgical_div">Surgical Division Initial : </label>
<input type="text" value="{{ $surgicaldivs->initial_surgical_div }}"
class="form-control #error('initial_surgical_div') is-invalid #enderror" id="initial_surgical_div" name="initial_surgical_div"
placeholder="Insert Surgical Division Initial">
#error('initial_surgical_div')
<div class="invalid-feedback">
{{ $message }}
</div>
#enderror
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Save</button>
</form>
#endsection
Controller:
public function edit($id)
{
$surgicaldivs = SurgicalDiv::withTrashed()->find($id);
return view('pages.surgical_div.surgical_div_edit', compact('surgicaldivs'));
}
Model:
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class SurgicalDiv extends Model
{
//Table Name
protected $table = 'surgical_div';
// Primary Key
protected $primaryKey = 'id_surgical_div';
//Soft Deletes
use SoftDeletes;
//Fillable Field
protected $fillable = ['name_surgical_div', 'initial_surgical_div'];
}
This is the update in the controller that i've tried :
public function update(Request $request, SurgicalDiv $SurgicalDiv)
{
$request->validate([
'name_surgical_div' => 'required|unique:surgical_div,name_surgical_div',
'initial_surgical_div' => 'required|unique:surgical_div,initial_surgical_div'
]);
SurgicalDiv::withTrashed()->where('id_surgical_div',$id)
->update([
'name_surgical_div' => $request->name_surgical_div,
'initial_surgical_div' => $request->initial_surgical_div
]);
return redirect('/surgical-div/'.$id.'/edit')->with('mess',' Surgical Division Change Success !');
}
I don't know what to put on the update function in the controller. I want to update one or even both of the field from my blade.

Answer 1

Try this
public function update(Request $request, SurgicalDiv $SurgicalDiv)
{
$request->validate([
'name_surgical_div' => 'required|unique:surgical_div,name_surgical_div,'.$id,
'initial_surgical_div' => 'required|unique:surgical_div,initial_surgical_div,'.$id
]);
SurgicalDiv::withTrashed()->where('id_surgical_div',$id)
->update([
'name_surgical_div' => $request->name_surgical_div,
'initial_surgical_div' => $request->initial_surgical_div
]);
return redirect('/surgical-div/'.$id.'/edit')->with('mess',' Surgical Division Change Success !');
}
This will check the table for same entries except the row with the $id. This way you can check if there are any other rows with same values in the two columns.
