Select2 and laravel 5.3 forms - laravel

Question

I have a laravel 5.3 app and i have a New Posts page with:
<div class="form-group col-sm-12">
<label for="tags"> Select Tags</label>
<select class="custom-select form-control" name="tags" id="tag-select" multiple="multiple">
#foreach($tags as $tag)
<option value="{{$tag->id}}">{{$tag->name}} </option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
Using select2 https://select2.github.io/
Tag Model
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Eloquent as Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
/**
* Class tag
* #package App\Models
* #version September 20, 2016, 5:31 am UTC
*/
class tag extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
public $table = 'tags';
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
public $fillable = [
'name',
'id'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be casted to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'name' => 'string'
];
/**
* Validation rules
*
* #var array
*/
public static $rules = [
];
public function post()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Post');
}
public function movie()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Movies');
}
}
At the controller when i dd(request()) i only get the value of the last tag i clicked.
Please help, how can i get the input to pass all the values and how to get them at the controller.
Anything else needed please let me know.
Thanks

Why don't you use blade templating ?
do it like so :
{{ Form::select('tags', \App\tags::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->toArray(), null,['class'=>'select2']) }}
inside your div :
<div class="form-group col-sm-12">
{{ Form::label('Select Tags', null, ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
{{ Form::select('tags[]', \App\tags::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->toArray(), null,['class'=>'select2']) }}
</div>
