pass multiple params from function to funtion and access inputs -Laravel-CodePudding

$myCourseData['points'] = "1";                 
 $myCourseData['totalPoints'] = "2";

$this->update($myCourseData,$myCourseId);

i wanted to pass points & totalPoints from a function to the function update() and access points in update() as $request->points;.How can i do that? Only points & totalPoints are passed from the above function , other params in the update() function input are getting from somewhere else.

function update($request,$id){

 $validator = Validator::make(
            $request->all(),
            [
                'course_id'       => 'nullable|integer',  
                'exam_numbers'    => 'nullable|integer',
                'points'          => 'nullable|integer', 
                'subscription' => 'nullable|boolean',
                'totalPoints'=>'nullable|integer'
            ]
        );     

$points =  $request->points;
}

CodePudding user response：

I think you wants to update only points & totalpoints from request.

then you can using request class's only function $input = Input::only('points', 'totalPoints');

Getting Only Some Of The Request Input

$input = Input::only('points', 'totalPoints');
// OR
$input = Input::except('course_id', 'exam_numbers', 'subscription');

you can also use request helper instead of class

$input = $request->only('points', 'totalPoints')
// OR
$input = $request->except('course_id', 'exam_numbers', 'subscription');

for more details about request instace check here Laravel official docs

To answer it directly, you simply need to send the two Params as Params in the frontend request client.

If you're using a html form for instance, simply do

<form action="route-pointing-to-update-function" method="post"> 
<!-- Make sure you're sending a csrf token with the request -->
<input type="number" name='points' value="1">
<input type="number" name='totalPoints' value="3">

Submit
</form>

This would be submitted and captured by HTTP request library and passed as an object in the request variable like this:


public function update (Request $request, $id){
 // Now you can access it like that here.
$request->points;
}

Hopefully this answers your question.

CodePudding user response：

In your function update you have all validation data for update, you need just get object from DB. You model for updating

$modelObj = SomeModel::find($id);
$modelObj->update([
   'points' => $request->points,
   'totalPoints' => $request->totalPoints
]);
