I want to insert multiple chips at a time in the database.
Here is my add task page, and there is one select field. If I select the checkbox then another field is visible. To enter the chips I can enter multiple chips for one select box. How do I enter these chips into the database?
And also I want to show these chips to users in form of a checkbox. If I use the checkbox in the select box and enter multiple chips then those multiple chips become checkboxes on the user side. How can I do this?
<div class="col-md-12 grid-margin stretch-card">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<h4 class="card-title">Add Task</h4>
<form class="forms-sample" action="{{ route('store.task', $checklist->id) }}" method="POST">
@csrf
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputUsername1">Task Name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="name" required>
<span id="task" class="text-danger"></span>
@error('name')
<span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>
@enderror
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleTextarea1">Description</label>
<textarea name="description" class="form-control" name="summernote" id="summernote1" required></textarea>
</div>
@error('description')
<span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>
@enderror
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<select class="form-control" id="select" required>
<option disabled="" selected="">--Select Option--</option>
<option value="text">Text</option>
<option value="textarea">Text Area</option>
<option value="checkbox">Check Box</option>
<option value="radio">Radio</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="name1" style="display: none">
<textarea name="description" class="form-control" id="textbox" style="display: none"></textarea>
<div class="chips" id="chips" style="display: none">
<input class="custom-class">

<div class="chips" id="chips1" style="display: none">
<input class="custom-class">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary mr-2">Add</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And my task table contains the following fields: id, name, description, and checklist_id
Which field should I add and how can I insert these chips in the database and show them in form of checkboxes?
I managed to store the chip data in the database. I passed the data to a hidden div on the "click" event for the button, like so:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button").on("click", function() {
var chips = M.Chips.getInstance($('.chips')).chipsData;
var sendChips = JSON.stringify(chips);
$('#chipss').val(sendChips);
});
});
</script>
And the empty div is:
<input id="chipss" type="hidden" name="chip3">
For passing this data to the database:
Task::insert([
'name' => $request->name,
'description' => $request->description,
'checklist_id' => $checklist_id,
'options' => $request->select,
'created_at' => Carbon::now(),
'created_by' => session('firstname'),
'value' => $request->chip3
]);
And in your task modal you have to cast it as an array:
protected $casts = [
'value' => 'array'
];
And also your value field must be json in your database be sure to add the value field with the json type.
And for displaying this data, I want to share the following piece of code:
<div class="form-group">
@foreach(json_decode($work->value,true) as $value)
<div class="form-check form-check-primary">
<label class="form-check-label">
<input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" name="value" value="1"> {{ $value['tag'] }} <i class="input-helper"></i></label>
</div>
@endforeach
</div>
This will show only your chips data you have inserted.
