Pass data from Modal to Laravel Controller#update - laravel

Question

I need to update some columns from my DB using the modal... question is how do I pass the data from the Modal to the Controller#update? I can get dynamic data to the Modal, but the form action does not appear to function. Can someone help me? I'm getting really frustrated by this.
=( here is my code, that is generating the modal according:
//route
Route::resource('/dashboard', 'DashboardController');
//DashboardController.php
public function index(Request $request)
{
$equipments = Equipments::all();
$serviceProviders = ServiceProviders::all();
$engineers = Engineers::all();
$equipmentsDue = Equipments::Where('due1', '<>', '1990-01-01')
->orderBy($due1)
->get();
$customerSite = CustomerSites::all();
return view('dashboard.index', compact('sort', 'customerSite', 'equipmentsDue', 'serviceProviders', 'engineers'));
}
// /dashboard/index.blade.php
#foreach ($equipmentsDue as $equipment)
<!------modal -->

<td>{{ $equipment->CustomerSites->customer->name . " -> " . $equipment->CustomerSites->sitename }}</td>
<td>{{ $equipment->CustomerSites->SiteRegions->name }}</td>

<td><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal-{{ $equipment->id}}">COMPLETE</button></td>
</tr>
#endif
#endforeach
This correctly generates the table and the modal:

Why the Form action dashboard#update does not call?

Answer 1

Because update is actually a PUT call and since form can't do a proper PUT call towards Laravel Controller you need to do form method spoofing and use the code below:
<form class="app-form" id="modal-form" action="{{ route('dashboard', $equipment->id) }}" method="POST">
{{ method_field('PUT') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
...

Answer 2

add a different rout:
Route::POST('/dashboard/update/{id}', 'DashboardController#update');
Controller:
public function update(Request $request, $id) {
$the_id = $id; //this is the id.
dd($id); //to check your id value.
}
and also try to dd() your variables/ outputs for testing . . .
