Im trying to submit entries to database with automatic expiration date calculated 1 week after the creation date. The problem is, i don't know how to add the variable i made in the store controller to be created together with the inputs on the create form.

This is my create form :

                <div >

                    <!-- Page Heading -->
                    <h1 >Pasien Baru</h1>
                    <p >Konfigurasi untuk mendaftarkan pasien</p>
                    
                    <div>
                        <form method="post" action="/dashboard/pasien" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                            @csrf
                            <div >
                                <label for="nik">NIK Pasien</label>
                                <input maxlength="16" type="text"  id="nik" name="nik" placeholder="Nomor Induk Kependudukan">
                                @error ('nik')
                                    <div >
                                        {{ $message }}
                                    </div>
                                @enderror
                            </div>
                            <div >
                                <label for="name">Nama Pasien</label>
                                <input type="text"  id="name" name="name" placeholder="Nama Lengkap">

This is my laravel store controller. The $expiry_day is working fine, but i dont know how to add it together in the create method. I want so that the $expiry_day become the 'expired' value :

public function store(Request $request)
{                      
    $start_day = Carbon::parse($request->created_at);
    $expiry_day = $start_day->addWeek();
    
    $validateData = $request->validate([
        'nik' => 'required',
        'name' => 'required',
        'kelamin' => 'required',
        'lahir' => 'required',
        'bayar' => 'required',
        'expired' => 'required',
        'poli' => 'required',
    ]);
                      
    pasien::create($validateData);

    return redirect('/dashboard/pasien')->with('success','Data pasien berhasil ditambahkan');
}

CodePudding user response：

You can simply add date to the validated data array. This will then be inserted when you create the model.

$validatedData = $request->validate([...]);

$start_day = Carbon::parse($request->created_at);
$validatedData['expired'] = $start_day->addWeek();

pasien::create($validateData);

This requires that expired is a column in the database and is in the fillable array on the Pasien model.

Bonus: please don't call classes in lowercase, it is universal agreed upon that classes starts with a capital letter.

Pasien::create($validateData);
