How to edit Select tag in Laravel Collective?

Question

I want to edit the task_status select but I get an invalid foreach() argument error. The format follows similarly to other forms from the Laravel Collective.

{{Form::select('task_status', $task->task_status, [ 'On Hold'=> 'On Hold', 'Completed'=> 'Completed'], ['class' => 'form-control'])}}

Answer 1

invalid foreach() argument error.

This will occur only when you dont pass the values for populating the dropdown

So You need to know the arguments

function select(
        $name,
        $list = [],
        $selected = null,
        array $selectAttributes = [],
        array $optionsAttributes = [],
        array $optgroupsAttributes = []
    )

First Argument => 'name of the select tag' in Your case its task_status

Second Argument => 'Dropdown Values List ' in Your case its [ 'On Hold'=> 'On Hold', 'Completed'=> 'Completed']

Third Argument => 'the selected option(s) ' in Your case its $task->task_status (Used while editing)

Fourth Argument => 'optional Attributes ' in Your case its ['class' => 'form-control']

So the final function may look like

{!!Form::select('task_status',[ 'On Hold'=> 'On Hold', 'Completed'=> 'Completed'],$task->task_status,['class' => 'form-control'])!!}

If You are using

Form::model() to populate the values while editing you don't need to add $task->task_status

to the select tag it will be automatically loaded

ONLY WHILE EDITING
