Mark Dynamically Created Checkbox Checked using Laravel - laravel

Question

I'm trying to develop roles and permissions in laravel. I can now make the roles work properly, however i just have an issue of marking the checkbox checked of the current permissions of the user.
This is my current controller code
$role = Role::findOrFail($id);
$perm = Role::findOrFail($id)->permissions;
$permissions = Permission::all();
return view('Roles.edit', compact('permissions', 'role', 'perm'));
and for my view
#foreach($permissions as $perms)
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="input-group m-input-group m-input-group--square">
<input type="checkbox" name="permission[]" value="{{ $perms->id }}" />
<label>{{ ucwords(str_replace('-', ' ', $perms->name)) }}</label>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach

First of all your variable names are really bad, so try to improve those so later you know what is going on :)
I would change this:
$perm = Role::findOrFail($id)->permissions;
to this one:
$rolePermissions = Role::findOrFail($id)->permissions;
then in your view, you will need to check if the current permission is contained in the $rolePermissions and add the checked attribute to the checkbox:
#foreach($permissions as $permission)
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="input-group m-input-group m-input-group--square">
<input type="checkbox" name="permission[]"
value="{{ $permission->id }}"
#if(in_array($permission->id, $rolePermissions)) checked #endif />
<label>{{ ucwords(str_replace('-', ' ', $permission->name)) }}</label>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
I guess your $rolePermissions is a set of ids. If it is not just get the ids from the collection:
$rolePermissions = Role::findOrFail($id)->permissions->pluck('id');
