Your AccountController should look like this:
public function edit($request, Account $account){
return view('forms.account', [
'account' => $account,
'title' => 'Edit Account'
]);
}
public function update(AccountRequest $request, Account $account){
$account->update($request->all());
Session::flash('sm', $account->name . ' Has Been Updated');
return redirect()->back();
}
AccountRequest:
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|min:2|max:70',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
'password' => 'required|min:6|max:10|confirmed',
];
}
That is about as much code as you need for this process... please read the documentation for Eloquent https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent
