In my blade I have this line of code:
{!! Form::file('motivation', old('motivation'), ['id' => 'inputGroupMotivation', 'class' => 'custom-file-input']) !!}
As you can see i set an id by doing 'id' => 'inputGroupMotivation'. However when I go to the page where this blade is rendered it outputs this:
<input name="motivation" type="file">
How come it does not take the id and class attributes I've set in my code?
I have not personally used the Form facade in Laravel, however from briefly looking at the documentation, it seems that the syntax for the file method is a bit different from regular input methods such as text. Namely, the second parameter is not the old value, but the list of attributes you would want to pass.
In your case you would this code instead:
{!! Form::file('motivation', ['id' => 'inputGroupMotivation', 'class' => 'custom-file-input']) !!}
For more information, take a look at the LaravelCollective's documentation page.
